At €79,000 (€391/m²) before works, this 202 m² farmhouse is already priced above comparable Piemonte stock. With renovation estimated around €141,400 (€700/m²), the effective cost reaches roughly €1,091/m², making it a weak renovation deal despite the garage, garden, terrace and panoramic view.
More on the house and the area
This Piemonte farmhouse has genuine rural character, panoramic rolling-hill views, a long balcony, vaulted rooms, old brickwork, wine cellars, and a generous outdoor setting. However, it is clearly a major renovation project rather than a livable home: the interiors are bare and deteriorated, while parts of the property are agricultural storage with very old construction.
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€40,000 – €71,000
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.

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 67/100The cluster sits in the Langhe hills on the Tanaro valley side, with vineyard and mixed farm country around it. The Tanaro runs by Clavesana. The nearest substantial town is Mondovì, which has a larger historic centre, rail access and the usual services. This part of southern Piedmont is known for wine, hazelnuts and hill villages; the core Barolo vineyard zone lies farther north and does not fall inside the immediate area.
