At €78,000, the estimated €385,000 renovation budget brings the effective cost to about €1,323/m², far above the local €261/m² benchmark. The listing describes a large farmhouse requiring restoration but does not clarify its current habitability or the scope of works.
More on the house and the area
This is a large traditional rural farmhouse with attractive terracotta roofs, mature greenery, and broad views across the Piedmont countryside toward distant hills. However, the photos show mostly raw farm buildings and deteriorated interiors rather than a usable house, so its appeal is primarily as a substantial renovation project.
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€139,000 – €205,000
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 property is explicitly a rustico/casale to renovate, not a move-in-ready home.
- Interior images show raw agricultural spaces, deteriorated finishes, and no clearly usable living areas beyond the listed bathroom.
- The extensive land and renovation potential may involve substantial structural, utility, and permitting costs.
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 58/100Carrù sits on the Langhe edge where the hills begin to rise from the Tanaro plain. The Tanaro valley is the main landscape feature in this part of the province. The Ligurian Alps are farther south and visible in clear weather, but they are outside the immediate 15 km setting. Mondovì is the nearest town of size; it has a substantial historic upper town on the hill, everyday services, and rail connections in the lower town. This area is known for mixed farming, vineyards on the nearby Langhe side, and the long-established Carrù cattle fair linked to beef production.
