This is a judicial auction and the listing states the buildings are uninhabitable with partial roof collapses; price €11,180 for 162 m² = €69/m². Severe degradation justifies an estimated rebuild cost ≈€1,100/m², making the effective price about €1,170/m², so this is a trap for regular buyers.
More on the house and the area
Group of stone rural buildings with a spacious private courtyard/garden near Augusta offers clear renovation potential and a very low auction price. However the structures are in advanced decay and currently uninhabitable, so this is a major restoration project and not move‑in ready.
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€64,000 – €95,000
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.
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.

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 32/100The cluster is in the Gulf of Augusta on the Ionian coast. The coastline here is low and industrialized in stretches, with the port and petrochemical area forming much of the immediate setting. Augusta has a substantial historic center on its island site and the services of a medium-sized town. Siracusa is the nearest major historic city, with the archaeological park and Ortigia, but it lies beyond the immediate 15 km landscape. The wider area is known for its port, refinery district and naval presence.
