What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 for 120 m², the asking price is €625/m², but with an estimated €700/m² renovation allowance the effective cost reaches about €1,325/m² versus the Basilicata/Matera baseline of €317/m². The 5,500 m² plot and separate 50 m² deposit add value, but the property condition is unspecified, making this a weak and uncertain deal.
More on the house and the area
A distinctive old rural house with arched openings, mature trees, extensive dry-stone walls, and approximately 5,500 m² of surrounding land. The roofed structure looks substantial rather than ruined, but its weathered exterior and lack of interior photos suggest a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€24,000 – €42,000
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 property appears neglected and will likely need substantial renovation or modernization.
- No interior photos are provided, so the condition of the rooms, kitchen, bathrooms, utilities, and roof cannot be confirmed.
- Rural access and service connections 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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Matera, so the lived setting is urban streets on the edge of the Murgia plateau rather than open countryside. The Gravina di Matera cuts through the city immediately beside the Sassi, with the rock churches and ravine landscape of the Parco della Murgia Materana directly adjacent. Matera is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for the Sassi and the Park of the Rupestrian Churches. The city itself has full services, a large historic centre, and the cave-settlement districts for which it is known.
