Why this price is what it is

Estimated total cost ≈ €103,600 (≈€959/m²) after an assumed €700/m² renovation; regional baseline is €390/m², so the effective price is well above typical local values. The description states a 40 m² 'rudere' while the listing records 108 m², a contradictory claim that reduces confidence.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

Spectacular panoramic mountain views and a sunny olive-tree plot make this a very attractive, tranquil site. The existing stone farmhouse is a small ruin with a corrugated lean‑to and will require complete renovation or replacement — this is a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home.

Minimum to live in it350500/m²
€38,000 – €54,000

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.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€21,000 – €38,000

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.

Connections and paperworkabout €10,000

Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

What worries us about this house
  • Small existing building (~40 m²) is described as a 'rudere' and clearly needs full renovation.
  • Corrugated-metal lean-to and overgrown surrounds indicate structural and exterior repairs required.
  • No interior images — condition of floors, ceilings, water/electricity is unknown.
  • Planning/permits will be needed to rebuild or use the stated potential for a larger new build.

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 68/100

The cluster is in the southern Apennines, with the Monte Sirino massif within this radius and the Noce valley running below it. The Tyrrhenian coast at Maratea and the Gulf of Policastro are just beyond the 15 km radius, so they matter for access but not for the score. Rivello is a small hill town above the valley; the nearest larger centre is Lagonegro, which has the main services and the A2 motorway access. The Sirino area is known for mountain scenery, chestnut woods and inland Basilicata hill villages. The nearest ski lifts are on Monte Sirino, roughly 20–30 minutes by car depending on the hamlet.
