Casa indipendente in Frazione Oriomosso 51
Oriomosso è uno dei paesi più ben esposti e soleggiati della Valle Cervo dove le case si allungano su di un crinale da cui si può spaziare con lo sguardo tutta la Valle Cervo e la pianura Biellese e dove il sole splende anche nella stagione fredda fino al tramonto regalando giornate in cui il tepore permette di stare…

The well-maintained 297 m² villa has an effective cost of about €537/m² after allowing €200/m² for modernization, versus €335/m² for comparable Piemonte homes. Its panoramic setting, garden, sound roof and functioning heating add appeal, but the remote mountain location and substantial size limit the value at €100,000.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly characterful, beautifully maintained mountain villa with original wood floors and ceilings, an impressive staircase, arched windows, antique detailing, terraces, and a broad valley-to-Alps panorama. It appears to be a genuine, usable home rather than a renovation shell, with heating, finished interiors, garden space, and a roofed/coibentato attic; the main trade-off is the steep, remote village setting.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€19,000 – €33,000
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.
- Mountain-village setting means steep paths, stairs, and limited immediate vehicle access.
- The property is spread across multiple floors, with only two bathrooms for its size.
- The terraced garden and exterior stonework may require ongoing maintenance.
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.
