At €4,000 (€20/m²), the purchase price is extremely low, but a completely unrenovated 200 m² house likely needs about €220,000 to restore, bringing the effective cost near €1,120/m² versus a local €345/m² benchmark. The peaceful setting and 284 m² plot add appeal, but the listing does not mention bathrooms and the property is not currently habitable.
More on the house and the area
This very cheap 19th-century stone townhouse has genuine character, a green wooded-valley setting and a small garden/land area. However, the interior is essentially a derelict agricultural shell with no bathroom, no kitchen, damaged floors and extensive renovation needs, so it is a major project rather than a 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€79,000 – €117,000
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.

- Complete renovation is required; the interiors are derelict and currently uninhabitable.
- No bathroom or usable kitchen is shown, with dirt floors, debris, damp damage and deteriorated finishes.
- The roof structure appears very old, with visible gaps and likely substantial structural and weatherproofing work needed.
- Utilities, permits and renovation feasibility should be verified before purchase.
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 67/100The Ligurian Alps and the first Maritime Alps are the mountain backdrop here, with the upper Monregalese hills and valleys rising south of Mondovì. The Ellero valley and the Corsaglia valley are within this area, and the Tanaro basin is nearby. The Alta Val Tanaro and the Marguareis area lie to the south, with the Marguareis Natural Park within broader reach of this part of the province. The nearest substantial town is Mondovì, which has a large historic upper town, services, schools and rail links. This area is known for mixed hill farming, woodland, and the transition from Piedmont hill country toward the Ligurian Alpine valleys.
