What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,030/m², the €69,000 asking price is already 2.6× the local baseline of €389/m²; allowing €200/m² for unspecified condition raises the effective cost to about €1,230/m². The 3 km distance from the sea, large 2,280 m² garden, terrace and 82 photos add value, but condition and key property data are missing.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine small rural house with a substantial private plot, mature olive and fruit trees, parking, and a quiet agricultural setting near the sea. However, the building looks basic and neglected, with aging finishes and improvised outbuildings; it reads more as a renovation project than a ready-to-live-in dream home.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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 house appears very dated and worn, with likely substantial renovation needed.
- No interior photos are shown, so the kitchen, bathroom, utilities, and actual livability are unconfirmed.
- The large plot is surrounded by greenhouses and agricultural properties rather than a scenic open view.
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 72/100The area is on the low Iblean coastal plain near the Mediterranean, with the beaches and dune-backed shore around Punta Secca, Caucana and Punta Braccetto within the local area. The Irminio River reaches the sea to the west and the Foce del Fiume Irminio reserve is nearby. Ragusa is the nearest city of size, with the Baroque historic centre of Ragusa Ibla; Modica and Scicli are also close enough to matter for services and daily life, and the Val di Noto baroque towns are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area is known for irrigated horticulture in greenhouses and for the fishing village setting of Punta Secca.
