This €47,810 property is being sold through a judicial auction, which makes it unsuitable for a straightforward home purchase. The 130 m² rural house has no heating, air conditioning or mains gas, while key condition and listing details are unclear; estimated renovation is about €700/m².
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, apparently habitable 130 m² two-storey house with four bedrooms, a veranda/terrace, and nearly 1,000 m² of adjoining land. It offers space and privacy at a strong discount, but the gallery does not prove any standout architectural character or scenic view, and the lack of heating significantly reduces immediate livability.
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€26,000 – €46,000
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 listing is an auction property, so legal and title checks are essential.
- No heating, air conditioning, or mains gas are installed.
- Rural access is via a local road, and the listing warns that images may be indicative rather than current.
- The house includes a 955 m² mand almond plot, but its usability and maintenance needs 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 49/100The area sits on the southeastern side of the Erei-Hyblean uplands, with low chalk and clay hills cut by cultivated valleys. The Gela plain and the Gulf of Gela are nearby, but the cluster is inland rather than on the coast. The nearest town of size is Gela, which provides major services, a port and rail connections. Caltagirone is also nearby and is known for its historic centre and ceramics. This part of inland southern Sicily is known for cereals, vineyards and olive groves.
