Costa Verde sits on Sardinia's southwestern coast, and 767 houses for sale here tell a different story from the island's better-known resorts. This is not the Emerald Coast. There are no yacht clubs or designer boutiques. What you get instead is one of the last stretches of genuinely wild Sardinian coastline, with sand dunes rising behind near-empty beaches and stone houses scattered across a landscape of maquis and granite. Buyers here come from Germany, the Netherlands and northern Italy, and most of them have already ruled out the crowded northeast coast. Pistis, Torre dei Corsari and the villages around Arbus are the addresses that matter.
How much does a house cost on Costa Verde
Houses on Costa Verde start at €400,000 for inland properties in the Arbus and Guspini area, rising to €8,500,000 for detached homes with direct sea access or panoramic positions above the dunes. The average price stands at €829,326. Floor areas range from 81 to 24000 sqm, with a typical size of 364 sqm and between 1 and 18 bedrooms. Private gardens, garages, storage rooms and scope for extension are the features buyers find most consistently. The price gap with Costa Smeralda is significant, and that gap is narrowing. Properties here are not liquid in the way Porto Cervo is, but they hold value well precisely because supply is tight and new construction is strictly limited.
Where to buy a house on Costa Verde
The Pistis area is the first place serious buyers look. The beach is long, protected and backed by dunes that make the landscape unlike anywhere else in Sardinia. Houses here rarely come to market, and when they do, they go quickly. Torre dei Corsari offers a slightly different character: compact coves, rocky headlands and houses positioned to catch both the sea view and the prevailing winds off the Mediterranean. Inland, the Arbus hills are where you find traditional basalt-stone houses, some with agricultural land attached, well suited to full renovation projects. Montevecchio, the old mining settlement further north, has a raw, atmospheric quality that attracts buyers looking for something genuinely distinctive. Ma la Costa Verde non è solo estate: Guspini provides year-round services and a local community, making it a practical base for permanent residents.
