The €18,000 asking price is exceptionally low at €225/m², but four of the listed rooms are currently registered as storage while the description identifies only one bedroom as part of the living area. With an estimated €700/m² renovation and possible authorization costs, the effective price is about €925/m², above the €673/m² local benchmark; the listing does not state the legal feasibility of converting the storage spaces.
More on the house and the area
This is an exceptionally cheap mountain village home with sweeping Alpine and valley views, a large covered terrace, traditional stone-and-timber character, and a genuinely usable living floor with kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The home is dated and partly rough rather than turnkey, but it is a real, roofed house—not merely a ruin or empty shell—and the €18,000 price creates major dream-home appeal.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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 lower floors are currently storage areas and appear substantially rougher than the living level.
- Interiors are functional but dated, with likely cosmetic modernization needed.
- Multi-level access and the condition of the roof, wiring, heating and utilities should be verified.
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 cluster is in the Canavese area at the first rise from the Po plain toward the Graian Alps, with wooded hills and cultivated lower slopes. The Orco valley begins nearby to the west and the Alpine chain is visible at short range, but the high mountain terrain is outside the immediate 15 km landscape. Turin is the nearest large city and provides the main services, while Cuorgnè and Rivarolo Canavese are the closest towns of size for everyday shops and rail links. This part of Canavese is known for small hill settlements, mixed farmland and woodland rather than for a single major named natural feature inside the immediate area.
