Uninhabited ~25 years with no heating plant, single-glazed windows, original wood floors/roof — full renovation needed (~700 EUR/m2). Energy class G. Solid discount and genuine habitable classification support a good deal; main negatives are heavy reno scope and mountain location (620m altitude) limiting resale demand. Missing energy field in structured data but stated G in description.
More on the house and the area
Traditional Alpine stone townhouse (built ~1800) in the historic centre of Calasca-Castiglione, Piemonte, at 620m altitude. Genuine historic character: exposed stone masonry, original wooden floors, characteristic piode (stone slab) roof, wood-beam covered balcony, and old open fireplaces. 213 sqm on two floors plus attic, free on four sides, with a paved courtyard and mountain backdrop. At €25,000 (€117/sqm) the price is very low, adding bargain appeal for a renovation project. However exterior/interior photos reveal significant wear, a damaged roof, and dated basic interiors requiring full renovation. Charming rustic mountain property rather than a jaw-dropping scroll-stopper.
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€42,000 – €75,000
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 78/100The cluster is in the upper Anzasca Valley in the Pennine Alps, with steep forested slopes and high peaks rising toward the Monte Rosa massif. The Anza river runs down the valley. Macugnaga and the Monte Rosa east face are up-valley within about 15 km, and the lifts at Macugnaga are roughly a 20-25 minute drive. Piedimulera is the nearest lower-valley service centre, while Domodossola is the nearest larger town with a railway station, wider shopping and hospitals. The area is known for alpine valleys, Walser settlement history further up the valley, and mountaineering linked to Monte Rosa.
