The €17,000 purchase price looks cheap, but a complete renovation at about €1,100/m² brings the effective cost to roughly €127,000, or €1,270/m²—far above the €262/m² local benchmark. It is near the town center with a private garden, but the property is currently a full restoration project rather than a livable home.
More on the house and the area
This €17,000 Piemonte farmhouse has genuine character, including traditional terracotta roofing, exposed stonework, old beams, and a private garden of about 550 sqm. However, it is clearly a renovation project rather than a livable home: interiors are empty and deteriorated, with debris, unfinished surfaces, and substantial systems and structural work needed.
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€40,000 – €59,000
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.

The area around
Location score 67/100The cluster lies at the foot of the Cottian Alps, in the lower Val Lemina between wooded slopes and the plain around Pinerolo. The Lemina torrent runs through the valley. The nearest town of size is Pinerolo, which has a substantial historic centre, services and rail links toward Turin. The first Alpine valleys of the Pinerolese are close by, with ski areas in the upper Chisone valley around Pragelato and Sestriere reached by a mountain drive of roughly an hour or more. This part of western Piemonte is known for the transition from plain to Alpine foothills and for the Waldensian valleys nearby.
