At €30,000 plus an estimated €35,000 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,300/m² versus €265/m² for comparable Piemonte homes. The remote location, zero listed bathrooms, and absence of legal, energy, and construction details make this a weak renovation bet despite the cellar, balcony, and heating.
More on the house and the area
The traditional stone farmhouse has strong alpine character, a balcony, small garden/land, and glimpses of mountain scenery. However, it is a genuine renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in home: there is no bathroom, the interiors are heavily cluttered and dated, and parts of the property are raw storage or cellar space.
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€10,000 – €18,000
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.

The area around
Location score 74/100The cluster is in the Val Germanasca in the Cottian Alps. The Germanasca river runs down the valley. The area is part of the Pinerolese mountain valleys, with steep wooded slopes, high side valleys and alpine ground above the villages. The nearest ski area is Prali, at the head of the valley, about a 20 minute drive from Perrero. Pinerolo is the nearest larger town, about 30 km away, with full services and rail links. This part of the valley is known for its Waldensian history and for the old talc mines around Prali.
