See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €49,000 for 400 m², the asking price is low at €122/m², but the stated renovation need implies roughly €280,000 in works, bringing the effective cost to about €823/m² versus the local €261/m² benchmark. The listing does not say how many bathrooms the property has, and the overall renovation burden is substantial.
More on the house and the area
This is a photogenic old Piemonte farmhouse with strong historic character, generous land and a genuinely attractive mountain setting. However, it is currently a substantial renovation project rather than a usable home: the interiors are empty and neglected, the stairs are unsafe, and no bathroom is listed. At €49,000 for 400 m², the price is compelling only for someone prepared for a major restoration.
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€79,000 – €140,000
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.

- Major renovation is required; interiors are cluttered, damp-looking and visibly deteriorated.
- There are no bathrooms shown or listed, and the damaged stairs and old services raise habitability and safety concerns.
- Roof and balcony structures need a professional structural inspection before purchase.

The area around
Location score 78/100The lower Val di Susa begins here at the foot of the Cottian Alps. The Lago Grande di Avigliana and Lago Piccolo di Avigliana are within the area. The Parco Naturale dei Laghi di Avigliana covers the lakes and surrounding marsh and woodland. The nearest ski lifts are in the upper Val di Susa, around Sauze d'Oulx and Cesana Torinese, roughly an hour or more by road, so they are outside the immediate landscape. Turin is the nearest large city, with the services of a regional capital, and Susa is the nearest historic valley town. Avigliana is known for its lakes and for the Sacra di San Michele on Mount Pirchiriano just outside the town.
