What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Adding estimated minor works (200€/m²) yields an effective price ≈ €66.9k or ≈ €418/m² vs the regional median ≈ €422/m²; the listing says no major renovations are needed, has 27 photos and a large private courtyard, so it’s a solid, ordinary-value find.
More on the house and the area
Solid, intact two‑storey house with attractive vintage terrazzo floors and a large private courtyard — a genuinely livable home now with mostly cosmetic work. The rough external blockwork and peeling render reduce curb appeal, but at this price it’s a strong value for someone wanting space and character in central Sardinia.
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 blockwork and peeling render — façade needs finishing/repair
- Overgrown courtyard and landscaping required
- Cosmetic updates to kitchen/bath and some interior refresh likely
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.
