This is a judicial auction (offerta minima €67,535) for a rural 'fondo rustico' with 39,583 m² (≈€2/m²) and the text describes very poor conditions including a derelict roof; the listing’s 'Renovated' tag contradicts the description, so the auction/legal risk makes this a trap.
More on the house and the area
Large, private agricultural plot with olive/citrus plantings, a small stream and pleasant valley views — a real country setting with strong bargain appeal. The main living units are intact but show damp, plaster/ceiling damage and worn finishes, and multiple outbuildings need rebuilding or heavy repair, so expect a significant renovation to make it a comfortable home.
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€15,675,000 – €23,156,000
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.
- Interior shows water damage, cracked plaster and ceiling issues — substantial repair needed
- Several outbuildings are rudimentary or partly derelict and one roof is covered with asbestos cement sheets
- Property is in agricultural zoning and is subject to servitù (water, acqueduct, passage) which may limit changes
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 52/100The cluster is on the Gioia Tauro plain with the first slopes of the Aspromonte close to the east. The Petrace river runs to the south-east of this area, and the Tyrrhenian coast around Gioia Tauro, Palmi and San Ferdinando is about 15 km away. Aspromonte National Park begins farther inland beyond the lower hill towns, so it is not at the door here. The nearest town of size is Gioia Tauro, with port and rail services; Palmi is the other main nearby centre with the services of a substantial town. This part of the plain is known for olive groves and citrus cultivation.
