See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description explicitly identifies this as a judicial auction (“asta immobiliare”), which is a catalog veto regardless of the €449/m² asking figure. The advertised €69,581 covers a rural complex with land, an A/4 dwelling and a D/10 rural building, so legal and practical due diligence is essential.
More on the house and the area
A substantial rural Sicilian home with a habitable condition, garage, terrace, cellar, and surrounding agricultural setting. However, the visible exterior is utilitarian rather than beautiful, and the gallery provides no proven views or distinctive historic features.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€10,000 – €17,000
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 exterior is plain and the listing photo is blurry, with no compelling view or standout architectural character visible.
- This is an auction property, so legal and access due diligence is essential.
- The facts list zero bathrooms despite calling the property habitable; verify the actual layout and utilities.
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 61/100The cluster sits in the Iblei uplands. Within about 15 km the landscape is a plateau of limestone hills, dry valleys and cultivated land, with long views across the Ragusa interior. Chiaramonte Gulfi is a hill town with a substantial historic centre and it is known locally for olive oil and traditional pork products. Ragusa, with full services and major shopping, schools and hospitals, is the nearest city of size. The wider area is part of the Hyblaean countryside of south-eastern Sicily rather than a single protected landmark landscape.
