Casa indipendente in Strada Senza Nome
La casa si trova a Logne, una piccola borgata montana immersa nel verde posta a circa 1300 metri di altitudine, poco distante dal borgo di Pornassino e raggiungibile tramite strada sterrata esclusivamente con un 4x4. Il centro di Ormea si trova a 20 minuti di distanza in auto ma i primi servizi che si incontrano,…

At €35,000 (€583/m²), the likely effective cost is about €783/m² after modest modernization, well above the €337/m² level of comparable low-cost homes. It is described as structurally solid and usable soon, but the remote 1,300 m mountain setting, 4x4-only dirt-road access, shared garden, and energy class G reduce the value.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable mountain home with a warm wood-beamed kitchen, two bedrooms, solid roofed construction, and a spectacular Alpine panorama. The flower-filled garden and colorful traditional façade create an exceptional dream-of-Italy setting, although the outdoor space is shared and the interiors are old-fashioned rather than polished.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Access is via an unpaved road reportedly suitable only for a 4x4.
- The garden is shared rather than private.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated and would benefit from modernization.
- Very remote mountain setting, with services and Ormea requiring a drive.
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 72/100The cluster is in the Ligurian Alps, in the upper Tanaro valley near Monte Antoroto and the watershed between Piedmont and Liguria. The Tanaro river runs through Ormea. The area touches the Parco naturale delle Alpi Liguri. The nearest ski terrain is at Garessio 2000, roughly half an hour by road, with the larger Mondolè ski area around Artesina and Prato Nevoso farther away. Ormea itself is a small mountain town with an arcaded centre and basic services, while Ceva is the nearest larger town for wider shopping and rail connections. This part of the upper Tanaro is known for mountain pasture, chestnut woods and road links over the Ligurian passes toward the coast.
