What it really costs
Can you move in?
A project, not a home yet
In the listingHabitableThe photographs say otherwise, and we go by the photographs.
- Sold at judicial auction
- Land, with no house on it
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction and the description calls it a "fondo rustico" (rural land), so it cannot be marketed as a habitable dwelling; the listed €13,305 (~€62/m2 on the published 215 m2) is therefore misleading. The auction paperwork reportedly omits official area and the ad warns that pictures are only indicative, so request the perizia and legal clarification before proceeding.
More on the house and the area
Photos show a bright, recently-renovated interior (sleek kitchen and bathroom) and a photogenic historic façade — very dreamable visuals. However the advertisement warns images are not of the real unit and area/condition are estimated, so expect to verify legal, size and physical condition before assuming this is a move-in-ready bargain.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€14,000 – €24,000
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.
- Listing states the photos are indicative/stock and do not represent the actual property.
- Property is sold at auction — legal checks and successful bid process required.
- Square metres are estimated in the listing, not official; verify with the perizia.
- Actual condition, services and access may differ from the images — confirm before planning works or move-in.
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 72/100The cluster is in the Nebrodi mountains. The Simeto river basin lies below this area, and Lago Ancipa is nearby in the uplands. Much of the surrounding upland falls within Parco dei Nebrodi. The nearest skiing is on the Etna slopes, roughly 1.5 to 2 hours by road depending on the lift area and winter conditions. Troina is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic center on a high ridge and everyday services. The area is known for high inland Sicilian pasture, woodland and grain country.
