80,000€ for 173 m² currently cat. C/6 (storage) with services on site; conversion estimated ≈1,100€/m² → effective ≈1,563€/m², well above the local median ~300€/m² (small sample). Listing does not state the building condition, so expect significant works to make it a dwelling.
More on the house and the area
Classic Puglian masseria with high vaulted rooms and a compact olive-grove plot — very photogenic and full of potential. However the building is essentially a roofed shell/ agricultural shed now and will need a full conversion to become 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€69,000 – €101,000
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.
- Currently an agricultural/warehouse interior (cat. C/6) — conversion and change of use required to live here.
- Interior is a rough shell: uneven floors, damp staining, no bathrooms or kitchen and visible rubble — significant renovation costs.
- Utilities exist on site (aqueduct water, electric pole, Imhoff tank) but check all connections and permits before purchase.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Altamura, so the resident setting is urban fabric on the Murge plateau rather than open countryside. The Alta Murgia plateau lies around the town, with karst pasture, cereal fields and dry-stone boundaries, and much of the surrounding area falls within Alta Murgia National Park. Gravina in Puglia is nearby and has a ravine landscape cut into the limestone. Bari is the nearest large city and provides the main wider services and transport. Altamura is known for its historic centre and for Pane di Altamura DOP.
