At €9,000 (€108/m²), the low entry price is offset by a complete interior renovation and an external bathroom; estimated all-in cost is about €100,300, or €1,209/m². The redone roof and 13 photos are positives, but the listing does not confirm dwelling habitability or bathroom compliance, and the property is a remote rural project rather than a ready home.
More on the house and the area
The farmhouse has appealing rustic character, with timber balconies, exposed beams, mature trees, and a large green woodland setting. However, it is currently more of a renovation project than a livable home: interiors are rough, the bathroom is outside, and there is no polished kitchen or finished living space. At €9,000 it is an eye-catching bargain for a hands-on buyer, but not yet a dream move-in home.
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€33,000 – €49,000
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.
- Complete interior renovation is needed; the rooms are dark, basic, and largely unfinished.
- The only bathroom is external, and kitchen/living utilities are not clearly ready for use.
- The adjacent woodland and access arrangements should be checked carefully, as should the attic's actual usability and legal status.
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 68/100The cluster is in the Valli di Lanzo on the first Alpine slopes north-west of Turin, with wooded ridges and side valleys rising toward the Graian Alps. The Stura di Lanzo valley system is the main physical feature of the area. Lanzo Torinese is the nearest town of size, with everyday services and rail links toward Turin. Turin is the main city for higher-level services and work, but it lies outside the local 15 km landscape. The area is known for its pre-Alpine valley setting and for access farther up the Lanzo valleys toward higher mountain country.
