At €25,000 plus an estimated €71,500 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,485/m²—nearly four times the local €375/m² benchmark. The mountain setting near ski lifts is attractive, but the listing describes storage rooms and a property completely needing renovation, with no clear confirmation of residential status.
More on the house and the area
This is a photogenic old stone farmhouse in a dramatic Alpine valley, with strong historic character and a small adjoining piece of land. However, the property is a genuine renovation project: the interiors are bare storage rooms with no demonstrated living facilities, so the beautiful setting cannot lift it into the dream-home band.
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€26,000 – €38,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated; currently storage rooms/cellars rather than a usable home.
- No finished kitchen or bathroom is shown, and utilities are unconfirmed.
- Very low internal height in parts, around 1.85 m.
- Access is via narrow pedestrian lanes in a compact mountain hamlet.
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 76/100The cluster is in the lower valley of the Lys and sits among steep Alpine slopes at the entrance to the Mont Avic area. The Chiusella stream and the Dora Baltea valley are nearby, and Mont Avic Natural Park begins a short distance to the east with high pastures, lakes and larch forests inside the park. The nearest substantial town is Pont-Saint-Martin, which has everyday services and the Roman bridge, and Ivrea is the nearest larger town beyond the regional boundary. The area is known for narrow stone villages and hamlets on the mountain sides, chestnut woods in the lower elevations, and hiking routes into the park and toward the Champorcher valley. The nearest ski area is Champorcher, roughly half an hour by road.
