This is a court auction lot (Tribunale) of mostly rustic land and two rural buildings: price EUR 35,646 for 2,648 m2 (≈ EUR 13/m2). Listed as an auction and primarily agricultural, it may not be legally habitable despite the low per‑m2 price (regional baseline ≈ EUR 387/m2).
More on the house and the area
Beautiful agricultural land with olive/vineyard scenes and broad panoramic hill views that will make dreamers imagine rural Sicilian life. However the listing photos show only fields and vistas, not the rural buildings, so you must verify the condition and services of the farmhouse before assuming it’s a move‑in 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€175,000 – €295,000
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.
- No photos of the actual buildings — only land and landscape are shown.
- Utilities, access and condition of the two rural fabbricati are not documented here.
- Property is an auction lot — requires legal/title due diligence before bidding.
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 52/100Hilly inland Sicilian landscape of small valleys and ridges with agricultural land (olive groves, almond and cereal cultivation) and patches of Mediterranean scrub and scattered woodland. Elevation is in the hundreds of metres rather than high mountains. There is no national park or protected coastline inside a 15 km radius; the larger Monti Sicani and the Madonie lie beyond that radius. No ski facilities within 15 km. The nearest larger city with high-level services is Palermo to the northwest (roughly 50–60 km); locally the area is served by small comuni and rural service centres.
