See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €68,000 for 156 m², the house needs a total renovation estimated at about €172,000, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,536/m² versus €265/m² for comparable Piemonte homes. The 3,000 m² plot, garage potential and peaceful Agliè setting add value, but not enough to offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial traditional Piedmont farmhouse with attractive green shutters, a balcony, courtyard, outbuildings, and approximately 3,000 sqm of land. However, it is a renovation project rather than a usable home: the interiors are very dated and worn, while some images show proposed renders rather than reality. Its land and €68,000 price create potential, but the condition keeps it well below dream-home territory.
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€62,000 – €91,000
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 listing explicitly says the property is entirely in need of renovation; the polished interior and courtyard images are illustrative renders, not the current condition.
- The upper covered level is an unfinished/raw space, and the real interiors show worn floors, damp-looking walls, and dated utilities.
- Only one bathroom is listed for 156 sqm; renovation scope, permits, utilities, and structural condition need careful verification.
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 62/100The cluster sits in the Canavese, between the Morainic Amphitheatre of Ivrea and the first Alpine valleys of northern Piemonte. The Dora Baltea runs nearby through the Ivrea area, and the low morainic hills and plain around it are a marked feature of this part of the province. Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and the UNESCO-listed Olivetti industrial city. Turin is the main city for services and transport. This area is known for its Canavese vineyards and for the historic morainic landscape created by the ancient glacier.
