What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Farmhouse at 492 EUR/m2, ~1.86x the regional median (264) but justified by full renovation need, semi-detached free on three sides, private garden with fruit trees, and recoverable attic volume. 120sqm over two levels, needs complete renovation (est. ~1000 EUR/m2). Fresh listing (1 day), strong baseline, 21 photos. Priced above median but reasonable given size and expansion potential; no energy class disclosed. Solid opportunity for a full custom renovation with available tax incentives.
More on the house and the area
Typical Piedmontese semi-detached rustico to fully renovate near Chivasso. Exterior shows a characterful open-timber 'travata' loft (rural feature) and a generous private garden with fruit trees, the main selling points. Interiors are dated and worn: 1970s-tiled bathrooms, cluttered rooms, peeling plaster, basic kitchen. Low price/m2 (€492) reflects the heavy renovation needed. Charming rural potential but nothing scroll-stopping; verdict ordinary.
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, €1,000/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€24,000 – €42,000
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 37/100This is the flat lower Po plain between the Po and Dora Baltea corridors, with cultivated fields, poplar stands and scattered villages. The Po is nearby and the Dora Baltea joins it in this part of the Canavese. Chivasso is the nearest larger town and has rail services, shops and the usual town services. Turin is farther west and matters for work and transport, but it does not change the immediate landscape. The area is known mainly for agriculture and for being part of the plain at the eastern edge of the Turin hinterland.
