Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €79,000 (€527/m²), the asking price is already nearly twice the local €266/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €700/m² for an unspecified-condition farmhouse raises the effective cost to about €1,227/m². The property offers substantial land, garages and panoramic isolation, but the listing does not state its condition or renovation needs and is remote from town.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable mountain farmhouse with five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a working kitchen, tiled floors, fireplace, exposed beams and extensive outdoor space. The panoramic Alpine setting, large garden and deep privacy create a strong dream-of-living-there appeal, while the interiors feel solid but dated rather than polished.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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.
- Isolated hillside setting may mean difficult winter access and reliance on a car.
- Interiors are fully usable but quite dated and heavily furnished, with likely cosmetic updating needed.
- 11,000 m² of land will require substantial ongoing maintenance.
- Energy class F suggests potentially high heating costs.
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.
