At €1,000/m² before works and an estimated €1,700/m² including renovation, this is substantially above the local €400/m² benchmark. The 12,000 m² olive grove and fruit trees add meaningful land value, but the listing does not state the house’s condition, making the €42,000 renovation allowance uncertain.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, furnished one-level home with a functioning-looking kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, and living spaces rather than an empty shell. Its main appeal is the extensive private land with an olive grove and mature trees, although the house itself is plain and weathered, with no standout views or historic character shown.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€12,000 – €21,000
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.
- The exterior shows weathering and may need maintenance to the flat roof, paving, and façades.
- The 12,000 sqm of land and approximately 200 olive, almond, and fruit trees will require substantial upkeep.
- Utilities, heating, structural condition, and legal status are not confirmed by the listing.
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 in the inland hills between the Platani and Magazzolo river basins, in a landscape of wheat fields, pasture, olive groves and scattered wooded slopes typical of this part of central-southern Sicily. The nearest larger town is Agrigento, which has full services and the well-known archaeological area of the Valle dei Templi. This part of the province is known for cereal farming, olive oil and inland hill villages.
