What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €320/m², the asking price is 18% below the €390/m² Sicilian farmhouse baseline, but the 1919 rustic condition, zero listed bathrooms, and missing condition data imply substantial work. Estimated effective cost is about €1,220/m² (€305,000 total), making this a risky renovation rather than a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
This historic Sicilian stone farmhouse has genuinely spectacular views across the Irminio valley toward the sea, plus 40,000 m² of land and mature vegetation. However, the current buildings are largely roofless or collapsed ruins rather than a livable home, so the beauty is mainly a restoration-project opportunity.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€50,000 – €88,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- The main structure is an uninhabitable rustic shell with collapsed interior roof structures and no visible bathrooms or usable living spaces.
- Substantial restoration, structural work, utilities and access improvements may be required.
- The attractive pool-and-house image is a proposed rendering, not the current condition.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 55/100The cluster sits within the built-up area of Ragusa, the provincial capital in south‑eastern Sicily. The town includes the historic centre Ragusa Ibla and other Baroque fabric that form part of the “Late Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto” UNESCO World Heritage Site. The local range is the Monti Iblei (Hyblaean Mountains), an undulating limestone plateau with inland ravines and karst terrain. The Mediterranean coast with bathing localities such as Marina di Ragusa lies to the south and serves the area. Local land use includes olive groves, vineyards and citrus cultivation typical of the Val di Noto hinterland. There are no ski lifts in the area; the nearest airport for regular passenger flights is the regional airport at Comiso, with larger connections at Catania further away.
