See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 (€299/m²), the 184 m² farmhouse needs substantial renovation estimated at about €129,000, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,000/m² versus a local benchmark of €260/m². Panoramic views, garage, cellar and outdoor spaces add appeal, but the renovation burden makes this a weak deal.
More on the house and the area
A genuine Piedmont farmhouse with a spectacular rolling vineyard-and-hill panorama, generous garden/land, tiled roofs, balconies, shutters, old furnishings, and period detailing. The main house is clearly roofed and usable rather than a ruin, but it is dated and requires meaningful renovation before it becomes a comfortable dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€36,000 – €65,000
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 house needs substantial renovation, especially finishes, kitchen/bathroom modernization, plasterwork, and exterior maintenance.
- The separate brick agricultural building appears unfinished or utility-only rather than habitable living space.
- Only one bathroom is listed for 184 sqm; roof, systems, and structural condition should be professionally checked.
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 72/100This is in the vine-covered hills between Asti and the Belbo valley, in the transition between Monferrato and the Langhe. The Tanaro river valley lies nearby to the south-west. Nizza Monferrato is the nearest town of some size, with everyday services and a substantial historic centre; Asti is the larger city in the wider area. The landscape around Montegrosso d'Asti is known for vineyards and wine production, including the Barbera area around Nizza. Parts of the wider Monferrato vineyard landscape have UNESCO World Heritage status, and this area sits within that wine-country setting.
