In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €70,000 asking price is €303/m², about 12% below the local €345/m² benchmark, but allowing roughly €46,200 for work on this 231 m² habitable property brings the effective cost to about €503/m². It has useful features including a garage, heating, fireplace and balcony, though the mountain location in Rubiana offers limited location premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly atmospheric mountain townhouse with beautiful exposed stone, timber shutters, mature greenery, a small private garden, and appealing traditional details. The main living areas are clearly usable, including a fitted kitchen, tiled bathroom, heating, and finished interiors, although the property feels dated and heavily cluttered rather than turnkey. At €70,000 for 231 sqm, the combination of character, space, and livability is unusually compelling.
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€15,000 – €26,000
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.
- The attractive stone house is surrounded by clutter, tools, and storage items that would need clearing.
- The gallery shows a habitable kitchen and bathrooms, but not all rooms or utilities are documented in equal detail.
- Access is via a compact village setting with several exterior stairs, and the exposed views appear limited.
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 72/100The cluster lies in the lower Susa Valley at the foot of the Graian Alps, with Monte Musinè and the first Alpine ridges close by. The Dora Riparia runs along the valley floor nearby. The area is part of the mountain belt that leads up toward the Colle del Lys and the Lanzo and Susa valleys. Small ski areas in the Valsusa are the nearest lifts, with Pian Neiretto around Coazze roughly 30–40 minutes away and the larger Via Lattea sector farther up the valley. Avigliana is the nearest town of some size, with a railway station, services, and the Lakes of Avigliana just under 15 km away. The Sacra di San Michele, on Mount Pirchiriano above the valley, is within the local area and is one of the main historic landmarks of this part of Piemonte. The surroundings are known for pre-Alpine woodland, valley villages, hiking, and for the historic corridor between Turin and France.
