At €31,000 for 300 m², the purchase price is low, but the stated renovation need implies roughly €210,000 of work, bringing the effective cost to about €803/m² versus €345/m² for comparable homes. The garage and independent heating help, but the renovation burden makes this a weak deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a surprisingly spacious, bright townhouse with polished floors, a modern bathroom, a mountain glimpse, and an impressive historic street facade. However, the property is officially listed as needing renovation, and the gallery does not prove that it is currently a complete, ready-to-live-in 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€59,000 – €105,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- The listing is explicitly described as needing renovation, despite several polished interior photos.
- The gallery does not show a kitchen, bedrooms, or a complete set of bathrooms; the facts list zero beds and baths.
- The attractive mountain glimpse is urban rather than a private countryside or terrace view.
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 68/100The cluster is on the first rise of the Maritime Alps, with Monte Bisalta and the surrounding alpine foothills close by. The Vermenagna and Gesso valleys are the main mountain corridors in this part of the province, and the Marguareis area of the Alpi Marittime is within the local mountain backdrop. The Parco Naturale delle Alpi Marittime lies to the south-west in the Entracque area. The nearest substantial town is Cuneo, which has the full range of services, a large historic centre and rail connections. This part of the Cuneo area is known for mixed farming, chestnuts and the foothill transition from the plain to the alpine valleys.
