At €34,000 (€309/m²), the property is only structurally renovated and remains at the rough stage; completing 110 m² at about €700/m² puts the effective cost near €1,009/m², well above the local €263/m² benchmark. Utilities and the 120+ m² garden add value, but the required change of use and substantial finishing work make the overall deal weak.
More on the house and the area
The farmhouse has some character from its exposed brick structure, old timber frontage, tiled roof, and private garden/courtyard. However, the interior is entirely unfinished and packed with storage, so this is a substantial renovation project rather than a usable home today.
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€22,000 – €39,000
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.
- This is an unfinished shell: interiors are raw and currently used as storage, with no bathroom, kitchen, or living spaces visible.
- A change of use to residential accommodation is required before it can become a home.
- Significant finishing work, clearance, insulation, heating, and fit-out will be needed despite the completed structural work.
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 53/100The cluster is on the first hills north-east of Turin, in the Po plain where it meets the lower slopes of the Torino hill country. The Po runs a few kilometres to the south, and the area is tied to the river corridor between Chivasso and Turin. Superga and the wooded ridge of the Collina Torinese are nearby, with the Basilica di Superga on the hill above Turin. Chivasso is the nearest larger town for daily services, and Turin is close enough for the full range of rail links, hospitals, universities and major shopping. This part of the province is known for mixed farming, small hill settlements and commuter villages on the edge of the Turin metropolitan area.
