At €250/m², the asking price is about 26% below the local benchmark, and the central location with two bathrooms is attractive. However, the condition and construction age are not stated, while the old-style layout and ancillary structures suggest substantial updating; estimated effective cost is about €950/m².
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable, spacious two-level home with two bathrooms, a working kitchen, multiple bedrooms, balconies, vaulted ceilings, traditional floors, shutters, and plenty of old-world furnishings. It lacks a dramatic view or standout exterior, but the generous courtyard and large rural outbuilding add practical potential, while €50,000 for roughly 200 sqm is compelling.】【。
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€40,000 – €70,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but very dated, with likely cosmetic and systems upgrades needed.
- The external barn/storage buildings are substantially rougher and may require renovation.
- The courtyard is subject to a right of passage, limiting privacy.
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 52/100Mercenasco sits in the Canavese plain between Ivrea and the lower Alpine foothills. The Dora Baltea runs through this part of the province, with irrigated fields, canals and scattered villages across a flat agricultural landscape. Ivrea is the nearest town of size; it has a substantial historic centre and the industrial heritage linked to Olivetti, part of the UNESCO listing "Ivrea, industrial city of the 20th century." Toward the north and west the Alps close the horizon, but the main mountain valleys and ski lifts are outside the immediate 15 km landscape. This area is known locally for Canavese agriculture and for its position on the plain below the morainic hills of Ivrea.
