At €15,000 for 40 m², the advertised price is €375/m², but the property is explicitly to be restored; allowing about €1,100/m² for renovation brings the estimated all-in cost to roughly €59,000 (€1,475/m²), far above comparable local stock around €260/m². The private garden adds appeal, but the listing gives little technical detail about the building’s condition or residential recovery.
More on the house and the area
The vaulted red-brick interiors and castle-area setting give this tiny property genuine historic character, while the private garden adds potential. However, it is currently an uninhabitable renovation project rather than a livable home, with dirt floors, debris, and no visible functioning facilities.
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€16,000 – €23,000
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.
- Major renovation is required: the main room has a bare dirt floor, heavy debris, and no visible kitchen or usable bathroom.
- The building appears to include deteriorated outbuildings or roof structures that need careful structural inspection.
- Utilities, roof condition, permits, and practical access are not demonstrated in the gallery.
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 40/100This is the Canavese plain between the Malone stream and the lower Dora Baltea basin, with a flat agricultural landscape of fields and irrigation channels. The nearest larger town is Chivasso, which has rail links, shops and everyday services; Turin is farther west and matters for commuting but is outside the immediate landscape. The area is known for farming on the plain.
