See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (offerta minima €82,972) — auction purchases carry legal complexity and extra costs. With a modest renovation allowance of €200/m² the effective price is ≈€150,172 total (≈€447/m²), well above the local median of €202/m² (26 comps), so treat this as a risky auction opportunity.
More on the house and the area
Lovely panoramic hill/valley views and an attractive cluster of stone buildings and terraces — one solid, inhabited house plus multiple cellars/outbuildings and a small ruin. Great for someone who wants an immediately usable home with scope to restore additional units and expand the garden, but expect renovation work on the outbuildings and to confirm utilities/legal status.
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€22,000 – €37,000
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.
- Lot is mixed: one/main house looks habitable but several stone outbuildings include a small rudere that requires restoration
- Remote, hilltop setting — services and daily shops are several kilometres away (property ~4.6 km from Borzonasca)
- Verify legal lot division and utility hookups for each unit before bidding
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 cluster sits in the upper Sturla valley in the Ligurian Apennines. The Aveto Regional Natural Park begins nearby and covers the higher country inland around Monte Penna, Monte Aiona and the Aveto valley. The Sturla river runs through this area toward Chiavari. The nearest coast in daily use is the Tigullio shore around Chiavari and Lavagna. The nearest town of size is Chiavari, which has a full rail station, hospital and larger services. Santo Stefano d'Aveto, the main mountain centre inland, has the nearest ski lifts, about 35–45 minutes by road depending on the hamlet. The area is known for chestnut woods, beech forest, small mountain pastures and for the mushrooms and dairy produce of the Aveto interior.
