In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
151 m² farmhouse on 1,871 m² land offered at €69,000; habitable condition -> I estimate €200/m² renovation, so effective cost ≈ €99,200 (≈€657/m²). That is well above the regional median of €387/m², so the price is materially higher than local baseline.
More on the house and the area
A practical, habitable country house with a large private plot (≈1,871 m²) and attractive valley views — the setting sells it. Interiors are liveable but dated and the outbuildings/roofing are basic, so budget for modernization to make it a comfortable long-term home.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Dated finishes inside — needs cosmetic updating (kitchen, floors, electrics tidy-up).
- Outbuildings and shed/roofing use corrugated panels that look old and may need replacement or checks.
- Large paved yard and external metal stairs are practical but basic; expect further outdoor works.
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 61/100The area sits in the inland hills of western Sicily, in a landscape of cultivated ridges, wheat fields, pasture and wooded slopes. The Monti Sicani are the named mountain group in this part of the province, with higher ground and forest within the local area. The nearest larger town of note is Corleone, which provides everyday services and a substantial historic centre. Palermo is the main city for higher-level services, but it is well beyond the immediate landscape. This part of the Sicani is known for olive groves, grain farming and small hill towns.
