What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable detached farmhouse at €278/m2, essentially in line with the local median (€264/m2, strong baseline), so priced fairly rather than a steal. Strengths: independent on four sides, private garden, panoramic view, fireplace, garage, cellar, terrace, plus a large warehouse/magazzino. 42 photos and a coherent description support the listing's credibility. Fresh listing (3 days). Being habitable, renovation is optional/cosmetic, so budget modestly. Missing energy class and build year are minor gaps. Overall a solid, realistic buy with upside if updated.
More on the house and the area
Detached hillside farmhouse in Piemonte with genuinely appealing panoramic mountain and forest views from balcony and terrace. Natural setting immersed in greenery is the main draw. However, interior is dated, cluttered and worn; exterior shows peeling render and unkempt grounds. Low price (€278/m2) reflects renovation needs rather than exceptional value. Views and nature provide charm but no scroll-stopping wow.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- Interior is dated and cluttered, needs full renovation
- Exterior tired with peeling paint and overgrown grounds
- Description claims habitable but photos suggest significant work needed

The area around
Location score 71/100The cluster lies at the foot of the Cottian Alps, where the plain around Saluzzo meets the mountain valleys leading toward Paesana and the upper Po. The Po rises on Monviso above Pian del Re, and Monviso dominates the skyline from this part of the valley. The Parco del Monviso begins up-valley, and the upper Po valley is the main named landscape feature of the area. The nearest ski lifts are the small facilities at Rucas near Bagnolo Piemonte, roughly 20–30 minutes by road, while the larger lifts of Crissolo are about 35–45 minutes away. Saluzzo is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and services, and Pinerolo is the nearest larger urban centre. The area is known for orchards and mixed Alpine foothill farming, with Bagnolo Piemonte nearby also known for stone quarrying.
