See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €28,000 for 49 m², this is currently a warehouse requiring a change of use and complete renovation; estimated all-in cost is about €86,800, or €1,771/m², far above the local €260/m² reference. The 18,840 m² of land adds value, but residential conversion, bathrooms, utilities and legal feasibility are not confirmed.
More on the house and the area
The property has genuine rustic character, with old stone walls, timber beams and a leafy setting beside nearly 18,840 sqm of land. However, it is an empty warehouse-like shell with no visible living facilities and seriously deteriorated structure, so it is a major renovation project rather than a home you could realistically occupy soon.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,200/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€19,000 – €29,000
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.
- Completely to renovate, with visibly deteriorated roof, beams and interiors.
- Currently registered as a warehouse, not a dwelling; change of use and permits are required.
- No bathroom, kitchen or livable finished rooms are shown; substantial structural work may be needed.
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 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.
