The casale is listed at €750,000 (€3,000/m2) and the description says “completamente da ristrutturare”; I estimate restoration ≈ €1,100/m2, giving an effective ≈ €4,100/m2. That is roughly 8× the local reference of €500/m2 (Toscana), so it sits well above the cheap-stock market this catalog targets despite being 4 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
A classic Tuscan casale on a very large 17,200 m² plot with attractive old stone/brick character and clear scope for a garden and pool. The building appears structurally present (roof in place) but is a renovation project — not move-in ready; excellent potential if you’ll invest in a full restore.
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€99,000 – €146,000
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 is described and pictured as 'da ristrutturare' — a full renovation is required.
- Photos show boarded/bricked windows and overgrown grounds; interior condition and utilities are unknown.
- Rendered images are proposed designs, not the current finished state.
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 71/100The cluster is on the Versilia plain between the Apuan Alps and the Tyrrhenian coast. Lake Massaciuccoli lies in the area, with the marshes and reed beds of the Parco naturale di Migliarino, San Rossore, Massaciuccoli around it. The nearest beaches of the Versilia coast are a short drive west. The Apuan Alps rise inland to the north and east, with mountain roads and trailheads reached in roughly 30–45 minutes, but they are outside the immediate 15 km landscape. Viareggio is the nearest town of size, with rail services, port facilities and the seafront; Lucca is the nearest historic city inland. Torre del Lago Puccini on the lake is known for Puccini and the open-air festival linked to his name.
