See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €19,000 purchase price is attractive, but the completely unrestored three-level farmhouse likely needs about €77,000 of work, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,371/m² versus €362/m² for comparable homes. The listing does not state the bathroom situation or legal habitability details, adding uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
The setting is genuinely striking, with dramatic Alpine mountain views, a traditional stone village, small garden/land, and strong rustic character. However, this is a full renovation project rather than a usable home: the interiors are damp and degraded, the roof has visible gaps, and there is no bathroom. At €19,000 it has compelling project value, but it is not yet a livable dream house.
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€28,000 – €41,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated, with visibly deteriorated interiors and roof structure.
- No bathroom is shown or listed; utilities and habitability are unconfirmed.
- Steep external stairs and mountain-village access may limit practicality and raise renovation costs.
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 lower Lys Valley under the Monte Rosa side valleys, with steep alpine slopes and chestnut woods around the settlements. The Lys river runs through the valley floor. Much of the surrounding mountain area falls within the Mont Avic Natural Park on the Aosta side. The nearest ski lifts are in the Gressoney valley, roughly 25–40 minutes by road depending on the base station. The nearest town of size is Pont-Saint-Martin, with rail access, shops and daily services; Ivrea is farther south for a larger centre. This part of the valley is known for Walser-influenced alpine villages farther up the Lys valley and for stone hamlets on the slopes.
