This is a judicial-auction listing for agricultural land with an annex (legal conversion risk). At an estimated €700/m² renovation the effective price is ≈€776/m² (total ≈€155k), near the regional baseline €793/m², but the auction/legal status makes it a trap for typical buyers.
More on the house and the area
Photos show bright, characterful interiors (parquet rooms, a dramatic skylit loft with exposed brick) that feel move-in or lightly refreshed. However the building courtyard and façade look neglected and the listing is an auction lot, so expect significant exterior/common‑area and administrative work before this becomes a fully usable home.
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€40,000 – €70,000
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.

- Property offered at auction — legal/process complexity and potential liens
- Exterior/façade and common parts appear in poor repair; likely substantial renovation work required
- Listing states photos may be indicative and not the actual unit — verify real condition and plans
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 53/100The area is on the Salento plain between the Murge plateau and the Ionian coast, with mostly flat agricultural land of olive groves, vineyards and fields. The Canale Reale and other minor seasonal channels cross parts of the wider Brindisi plain, but there is no major river or lake at the doorstep. Within about 15 km the main nearby centres are Oria, which has a substantial historic hilltop core and castle, and Ceglie Messapica, known for its old town and food tradition. The wider area is known for olive oil, wine and walled masserie.
