At €59,000 for 190 m², the property requires complete renovation, estimated at about €1,100/m², bringing the effective cost to roughly €268,000 (€1,411/m²). That is far above the local reference of €263/m², so the low asking price is outweighed by the substantial work required.
More on the house and the area
A photogenic 19th-century Canavese farmhouse with a lush palm-filled garden, pool, covered outdoor spaces, and distinctive historic masonry. However, the interiors are dated and deteriorated, while much of the upper level remains a raw hayloft, making this a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in home.
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€75,000 – €111,000
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.
- The property is explicitly entirely to be renovated, despite having existing floors and rooms.
- The large upper hayloft and covered structures are unfinished/raw and would require substantial conversion work.
- Only one bathroom is listed for 190 sqm; utilities, systems, roof condition, and pool compliance need verification.
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 58/100The cluster lies in the Canavese plain between the Po basin and the first Alpine foothills. The Dora Baltea runs nearby and shapes the broad valley east of the town. To the north and northwest, within this radius, there are views toward the Graian Alps and the lower entrance to the Aosta Valley, but the immediate surroundings are mainly flat farmland, roads and small settlements. Candia Lake is nearby, with the Parco Naturale del Lago di Candia on its shores. Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and the UNESCO industrial city of the 20th century linked to Olivetti. The area is known for Erbaluce di Caluso vineyards and for the transition from vineyard country to the morainic landscape around Ivrea.
