What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €215/m², the €34,900 asking price is well below the €388/m² regional baseline, but estimated habitable-condition costs of about €200/m² bring the effective price to roughly €415/m². The description says no major renovation is needed, though condition and technical details are missing; the inland location 35 km from the sea limits the upside.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, furnished two-level home with bright rooms, a functioning kitchen, bedrooms, air conditioning, and attractive traditional terrazzo floors. The large private courtyard and very low price add appeal, but the exterior is plain and deteriorated, with significant garden maintenance needed; there is no visible scenic view or standout historic feature.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- Exterior facade is unfinished and visibly weathered, with peeling plaster and exposed blockwork.
- Private courtyard is substantial but heavily overgrown and will need clearing and landscaping.
- Only one bathroom is shown/listed for a large six-bedroom house; utilities and legal status should be verified.
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 62/100The cluster is on the Marghine basalt plateau, with the Marghine range immediately to the south and west and the higher Gennargentu mass farther off on the horizon in clear weather. The Tirso river basin lies nearby, and this part of central-west Sardinia is a landscape of grazing land, basalt tablelands and low wooded hills. Within about 15 km are several Nuragic sites, including the nuraghe complex of Santa Sabina near Silanus and the nuraghe of Orolo toward Bortigali, and the area is known for prehistoric archaeology as well as sheep and cattle farming. Macomer is the nearest town of size, with rail connections, shops and services.
