Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €44,990 for 560 m² (€80/m²), the purchase price looks low, but a substantial renovation estimated at about €700/m² brings the effective cost to roughly €781/m²—well above the local €279/m² benchmark. The remote location and absence of bathroom information add uncertainty, despite the 18 photos and listed heating, fireplace, balcony, and terrace.
More on the house and the area
The rural Piemonte setting and very large floor area at roughly €45,000 create strong project potential, with a terrace, fireplace and exposed roof beams adding character. However, this is clearly a renovation property: the livable portion is only part of the complex, while the remaining spaces are largely barn and storage areas, so it is not currently a dream move-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€111,000 – €197,000
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.
- Extensive renovation is required, with partially unfinished interiors and mixed residential/agricultural buildings.
- The advertised 560 m² includes a roughly 210 m² dwelling plus stable, storage and ancillary spaces—not 560 m² of ready living space.
- No interior or exterior property photos are provided, and this is a judicial auction requiring legal and technical due diligence.
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 61/100The area sits in the Langhe transition zone toward the Ligurian Apennines, with wooded ridges, small valleys and mixed vineyards, hazelnut groves and pasture. The Bormida valley system is the main river landscape in this part of southern Piedmont. Cortemilia is the nearest small town of note, with everyday services and a historic centre; Alba is the nearest larger town with a full range of services, rail connections and the main market town role for the Langhe. This part of the Alta Langa is known for hazelnuts, small-scale wine production and hill villages.
