Although the €75,000 asking price is only €250/m², the complete renovation of 300 m² is estimated at about €330,000, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,350/m² versus €375 for comparable local stock. The listing highlights a scenic position near Aosta, but it does not state the energy class or construction year.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly atmospheric historic farmhouse with attractive balconies, shutters, stone details, gardens, and genuinely spectacular Alpine valley views. However, the beautiful presentation is largely potential: the actual interiors are very dated and deteriorated, making this a major restoration project rather than a realistically livable home today.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€119,000 – €176,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Complete renovation is required, with several interiors showing severe deterioration and peeling ceilings.
- No usable kitchen or bathroom is shown; the facts list zero bathrooms, so utilities and habitability need verification.
- The 300 sqm layout is spread across three levels connected only by an external staircase, adding substantial renovation complexity.
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 upper Valpelline/Gran San Bernardo side of the Aosta Valley, with the Pennine Alps around it. The Buthier river system runs through this side valley and the main Dora Baltea valley is close by. The Gran San Bernardo route and pass are the defining corridor of the area, with high alpine slopes, conifer woods and pasture above the valley floor. Pila, the main ski area above Aosta, is the nearest substantial lift system and is reached by road to Aosta and the cableway in roughly half an hour; Crevacol on the Gran San Bernardo road is also nearby and usually a shorter drive. Aosta is the nearest town of size and has the full range of services as the regional capital, along with major Roman remains and the historic centre. The area is known for alpine pasture landscapes, Fontina production and the road connection toward the Great St Bernard.
