At €55,055 for 416 m², the apparent €132/m² price is outweighed by the building being unfinished and requiring extensive restoration. The listing explicitly presents it as a judicial auction, which makes it unsuitable for this catalog despite the low entry price.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial rustic cascina with attractive exposed brick, old masonry, timber roof structures, a generous covered porch, and nearly 4,000 sqm of land. However, the interiors are entirely unfinished, with bare concrete floors, raw brick walls, no bathrooms or kitchen, and no move-in-ready accommodation. It is a promising renovation project with character and space, but not yet a real usable 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€165,000 – €243,000
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 property is explicitly an unfinished raw shell, not a livable home.
- There are no finished floors, bathrooms, kitchen, doors, or visible utility systems.
- The large 416 sqm size implies a major renovation budget, despite the complete-looking roof.
- The overgrown grounds and auction context require careful checks of access, permits, 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 49/100This is the flat to gently rolling countryside of the Canavese between Turin and the lower Alpine foothills. The Malone stream runs through the area, and the Orco valley and the first Alpine ridges begin to the north within this radius. Rivarolo Canavese is the nearest town of size, with rail links, shops and services, and Chivasso is also close with a larger service centre and rail connections. Turin is farther south and matters mainly for work, hospitals and transport rather than for the immediate landscape. The area is known for mixed farming and for its position on the edge of the Canavese plain below the Alps.
