What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €29,000 asking price looks low at €121/m², but the property is completely to renovate; estimated works bring the effective cost to about €1,221/m², far above the local €266/m² reference. Its large size, rural location, and original farmhouse condition make this a substantial project rather than a cheap livable home.
More on the house and the area
This large Piemonte farmhouse has an excellent open mountain-and-field setting, 1,400 m² of land, a long balcony, stone details, vaulted rooms, and traditional beams. However, it is presented in its original condition with derelict agricultural interiors and major renovation needs, so it is a compelling restoration project rather than a realistically move-in-ready home.
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€95,000 – €140,000
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.
- Completely to renovate; the lower level is largely former agricultural space and storage.
- Very old roof structure and outbuildings may require substantial structural work.
- Only one bathroom is listed, and utilities/livability are not confirmed.
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 76/100The cluster is at the foot of the Cottian Alps, with Monte Bracco directly above Barge and the upper Po valley opening west toward Paesana and Crissolo. The Po rises at Pian del Re on Monviso, and Monviso is the dominant mountain of this part of the province; from Barge the high valley and the mountain massif are within the local 15 km landscape. The Monviso area is protected by the Parco del Monviso and includes the Monviso UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The nearest substantial town is Saluzzo, which has a preserved historic centre and services; Cuneo and the Turin plain are farther east. This area is known for the upper Po valley, views toward Monviso, and the stone quarrying around Monte Bracco.
