The €49,000 asking price is very low at €182/m², about 30% below comparable local listings, and the structurally sound roof is a meaningful advantage. However, the house is described as a major personalization project: estimated renovation brings the effective cost to roughly €882/m², with the listing not stating its current habitability or systems condition.
More on the house and the area
A large, characterful farmhouse with handsome exposed wood ceilings, traditional tiled floors, shutters, an old fireplace and a private garden blending into woodland. The roof is reportedly solid and part of the house is furnished and usable, but this is clearly a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home.
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€53,000 – €94,000
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.
- Substantial renovation and modernization are needed, especially in the empty ground-floor rooms.
- Access is via a private unpaved road.
- The garden and surrounding areas appear heavily overgrown.
- Interiors are dated and some rooms look dark or poorly maintained.
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 58/100The area lies in the hills of the Basso Monferrato on the right bank of the Po. The Po runs just below the ridge villages, and the Collina Torinese continues west toward Chivasso and the Turin edge. The Parco del Po piemontese includes stretches of river, woodland and riverbank habitat in this part of the valley. Chivasso is the nearest larger town, with rail connections, shops and everyday services; Turin is farther west and matters mainly for higher-order services and access. The area is known for mixed hill farming, woodland and small Monferrato villages rather than for a single landmark landscape.
