55 m2 farmhouse at EUR 79,000 with 7,450 m2 of land and an 'annesso agricolo' but the listing does not state the dwelling condition; assuming EUR 700/m2 renovation gives an effective price ~EUR 117,500 (~EUR 2,136/m2) versus the regional baseline EUR 500/m2, so this looks overpriced.
More on the house and the area
Attractive, fully lined wooden cabin with a cosy fitted interior and a covered stone terrace, set in a fenced 7,450 m² olive grove and small vineyard — very strong rustic appeal and excellent value for Tuscany. Looks move-in ready from the photos, but confirm legal residential status and utility connections before buying.
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€11,000 – €20,000
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.
- Property looks like an agricultural annexe — verify permitted residential use/permits
- Utilities/heating/plumbing not clearly shown — confirm mains water, electricity and sewage
- Wood construction needs routine checks (insulation, damp, pests)
- Rural location — check access/road and distance to shops/services
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 70/100The cluster sits on the Colline Metallifere (the Metalliferous Hills) of southern Tuscany, an area shaped by historical mining activity. Lago dell'Accesa, a small lake, lies a few kilometres from the town. The Tyrrhenian coast (Gulf of Follonica) and sandy beaches are within the local 15 km radius; the coastal town of Follonica provides a railway station, marina and summer-tourism services. The surrounding countryside is a mix of wooded hills, scrub, olive groves and vineyards. There are sites of industrial-archaeology related to old mines in the local area (Gavorrano and nearby mine sites). No ski lifts or national parks lie within the immediate 15 km radius.
