See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €310/m² before works, the 258 m² farmhouse would cost roughly €1,010/m² all-in after estimated renovation, versus about €265/m² for comparable homes in the area. The large size and useful features help, but the renovation burden makes this weak value despite the independent building, garage, cellar and land.
More on the house and the area
A large traditional Piemonte farmhouse with a generous courtyard, balcony, shutters and attractive old brick agricultural buildings, offering genuine rural character. It is a real, roofed and functioning home with kitchen and bathroom, but the interiors are very dated and worn rather than move-in ready. The unusually low price per square metre is the main draw, provided the renovation scope is manageable.
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€51,000 – €90,000
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.

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 61/100Cavaglià sits on the plain at the edge of the Serra d’Ivrea, the long morainic ridge left by the ancient Balteo glacier, which runs just to the north and west. The Dora Baltea valley is nearby around Santhià and Ivrea. Lake Viverone is within this radius to the west, with a belt of villages on its shore. Ivrea is the nearest substantial town, with a full range of services and the Olivetti industrial city UNESCO site. This part of the Canavese and lower Biellese is known for mixed farmland, rice fields and the glacial landforms around the Serra and Viverone.
