The €45,000 asking price is only €118/m², but with an estimated €700/m² renovation budget the effective cost reaches about €819/m², well above comparable homes at €345/m². The listing does not state the condition, and its room and bathroom counts conflict with the recorded details, increasing renovation risk.
More on the house and the area
A very large rustic Piemonte property in a green hillside setting, with mature trees, surrounding land and strong traditional farmhouse character. The roof and main structure appear present, and the listing claims a kitchen, three bathrooms, heating and a terrace, but the exterior is clearly tired and the lack of interior photos makes the real condition uncertain. At €45,000, the size and setting create genuine bargain appeal, but this is more a substantial renovation opportunity than a ready-to-live-in dream 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€76,000 – €134,000
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 exterior is heavily weathered, with peeling plaster and exposed brick, suggesting substantial refurbishment.
- No interior photos are provided, so the claimed kitchen, three bathrooms, heating and overall livability cannot be verified.
- At 381 sqm, renovation, heating and maintenance costs could be significant despite the low purchase price.
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.
