See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a C/6 non-residential building with no bedrooms or bathrooms, and conversion into a dwelling is only described as a possibility requiring urban-planning verification. At €50,000 plus an estimated €1,100/m² conversion cost, the effective cost is about €1,403/m² versus the local €260/m² reference.
More on the house and the area
The setting is genuinely attractive, with open green land, mature trees, and a striking mountain panorama; the old brickwork and exposed timber roof add rustic character. However, this is an unfinished agricultural outbuilding with bare floors, open sides, construction debris, and no livable rooms or bathrooms, so it is a renovation project rather than a 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€65,000 – €97,000
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.

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 78/100The lower Val di Susa begins here at the foot of the Cottian Alps. The Lago Grande di Avigliana and Lago Piccolo di Avigliana are within the area. The Parco Naturale dei Laghi di Avigliana covers the lakes and surrounding marsh and woodland. The nearest ski lifts are in the upper Val di Susa, around Sauze d'Oulx and Cesana Torinese, roughly an hour or more by road, so they are outside the immediate landscape. Turin is the nearest large city, with the services of a regional capital, and Susa is the nearest historic valley town. Avigliana is known for its lakes and for the Sacra di San Michele on Mount Pirchiriano just outside the town.
