Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €30,000 plus an estimated €200/m² of work, the effective cost is about €564/m², well above the local €266/m² benchmark. The independent house has 3,300 m² of terraced land and 16 photos, but its condition is not stated and the small hill hamlet is relatively remote.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable hill-country farmhouse with a sunny tiled courtyard, abundant fruit trees, terraces, and around 3,300 sqm of land overlooking lush Piemonte hills. The house is fully furnished with functioning-looking kitchen, bathroom, heating, and bedrooms, so this is a liveable home rather than a renovation shell, though the interiors are distinctly old-fashioned. At €30,000, the land, garden lifestyle, and habitable structure create a very strong bargain effect.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Interiors and bathroom are highly dated and would benefit from modernization.
- The exterior includes aging sheds, canopies, and utility structures that may need maintenance.
- Energy class G and only one bathroom may limit year-round comfort for some buyers.
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 lies at the foot of the Cottian Alps, with Monte Bracco and the first Alpine slopes immediately above the plain. The Po rises nearby at Pian del Re under Monviso, and Monviso is the dominant mountain in this part of the province. The lower Valle Po begins within this radius. Crissolo is the nearest ski area, with small lifts roughly 30–40 minutes away depending on the exact point. Saluzzo is the nearest substantial town, with a walled historic centre, services and rail connection toward the plain. This area is known for the Monviso massif, the source of the Po, and fruit growing on the plain at the foot of the mountains.
