At €46,000 (€511/m²), the completely derelict 90 m² rustico would require roughly €99,000 in renovation, bringing the effective cost to about €1,611/m² versus €345/m² for comparable local homes. The 3,000 m² of land, panoramic mountain setting and garage add value, but do not offset the very high all-in cost.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly photogenic mountain rustico with traditional stone-and-plaster walls, a slate roof, balcony, mature orchard and sweeping valley and mountain views. However, it is explicitly completely to be renovated, and the raw-looking interiors mean this is a substantial restoration project rather than a realistically usable home today.
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€36,000 – €53,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Completely to be renovated; the photos do not prove a move-in-ready interior.
- Roofing, structure, utilities, kitchen and bathroom condition require careful technical verification.
- Remote mountain setting at about 1,100 m may mean difficult winter access and higher renovation costs.
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 sits in the lower Valle Varaita with the Cottian Alps closing the view westward. The Varaita river runs through the valley. The upper valley leads into the Monviso area, with the Po headwaters and the Parco del Monviso within the wider valley system, though the stronger alpine scenery is upstream from here rather than at the village itself. Sampeyre is the main mountain centre up the valley and has services for the upper valley; Saluzzo is the nearest larger town and has a substantial historic centre and everyday services. The area is known for mixed Alpine valley farming, chestnut and fruit cultivation in the lower valley, and Occitan culture in the Varaita valley.
