At €30,000 for 140 m², the estimated €182,000 all-in cost is about €1,300/m² after the complete reconstruction of slabs, mezzanine and roof—far above the local €371/m² reference. The listing describes storage rooms and a potential future home, but does not clarify the legal residential status.
More on the house and the area
The alpine stone construction, slate roofs and cobbled hamlet setting have strong historic character and real visual charm. However, this is a genuine uninhabitable shell: the roof and internal floors are badly deteriorated, with no finished living areas, so it is a major reconstruction project rather than a home someone could realistically live in soon.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,300/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€55,000 – €82,000
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.
- Complete renovation required, including rebuilding floors, mezzanine and roof.
- The interiors are raw storage spaces with dirt floors, debris and extensive structural deterioration.
- No livable kitchen, bathroom or finished residential space is shown.
- Mountain-hamlet access and construction logistics may be challenging; the nearest parking is reportedly some distance away.
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 74/100The cluster is in the lower Aosta Valley with the Pennine Alps closing the valley on both sides. The Dora Baltea runs through the valley floor. Mont Avic Natural Park lies just to the south above Champdepraz and Champorcher. The nearest ski lifts are in Champorcher, about 30 minutes by road, with larger lift systems farther west in the central Aosta Valley. Pont-Saint-Martin and Verrès are the nearest small service towns, and Aosta is the nearest larger town with the full range of shops, schools and administrative services. Donnas is known for its stretch of Roman road with arches and for terraced viticulture on the valley sides; the nearby Fort of Bard is a major historic site in the valley.
