This Piemonte farmhouse has appealing rustic stone walls, aged timber framing, and a leafy wooded setting. However, the photos show a fenced-off, empty shell with damaged structural timbers, no floors or services, and no evidence of a livable interior; it is a major restoration project rather than a ready home.
- Uninhabitable empty shell with no bathroom, kitchen, or usable living space.
- The old timber roof and upper-floor structure appear severely deteriorated and may require major rebuilding.
- Renovation, structural, utility, and permitting costs could greatly exceed the €28,000 purchase price.
The area around
Location score 68/100The cluster is in the Varaita valley with the Cottian Alps rising immediately west of the settled floor. The Varaita river runs through this part of the valley. The upper Valle Varaita leads to the Colle dell'Agnello on the French border, and the nearest ski area is Sampeyre-Frassino, roughly 20 minutes' drive up-valley from Piasco. Saluzzo is the nearest substantial town, with a preserved historic centre and services, and Cuneo is the main city for wider shopping, rail and administration. This part of the province is known for Alpine valleys opening onto the Saluzzo plain, mixed woodland and pasture on the slopes, and the Occitan culture of the upper valleys.
