The 80 m² house is a raw unfinished shell at €82,000 (€1,025/m²); allowing about €1,100/m² for completion puts the effective cost near €2,125/m² versus €464 for comparable local stock. Being 1 km from the sea and including 7,000 m² of land adds value, but does not offset the heavy renovation burden and high effective price.
More on the house and the area
The strongest appeal is the expansive 7,000 sqm agricultural setting with mature olives, fruit trees, and a visible sea horizon about 1 km away. However, this is currently a raw, uninhabitable shell rather than a usable home, with a second unfinished outbuilding and extensive completion work still needed.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€32,000 – €47,000
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 house is an unfinished shell with bare brick walls, concrete floors, and no visible kitchen, bathroom fixtures, doors, or windows.
- Substantial finishing and utility-installation work will be required before it is habitable.
- The large rural plot includes olive and fruit trees, but the property is exposed and crossed by overhead utility lines.
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 is on the south coast of Sicily by the Mediterranean, with beaches and low coastal headlands around Licata and the mouth of the Salso river. Inland within this radius the land is mostly low hills and cultivated countryside rather than a mountain landscape. Licata is the nearest town of size and has a port, a seafront and a substantial historic centre. The wider area is known for fishing and agriculture, especially vineyards and horticulture.
