What it really costs

In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Cascinale of 320sqm at 247 EUR/m2 vs baseline 351 is ~30% below median, but property needs complete renovation ('completamente da ristrutturare'), which erodes the apparent discount. Full gut renovation of a 1900 farmhouse runs ~500-700 EUR/m2, meaning ~190k additional cost, pushing all-in near/above renovated market value. Positives: independent on 3 sides, 800sqm garden, quiet yet accessible, fresh listing (6 days), decent baseline sample. No energy class and only 5 photos limit assessment. Fair rather than good given the heavy renovation burden offsets the low entry price.
More on the house and the area
A c.1900 Piemonte farmhouse (cascina) in advanced ruin—collapsed roof sections, crumbling plaster and exposed masonry. The generous grassy plot with mature conifers and shade trees is the main appeal, alongside the rustic terracotta-tile character. At €79k for 320sqm (€247/m2) it's cheap, but the derelict condition demands a total rebuild rather than a renovation, capping the wow beyond restoration-project enthusiasts.
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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€63,000 – €112,000
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 57/100The cluster is on the Pinerolo plain at the foot of the Cottian Alps. The Chisone valley begins a short distance west around Pinerolo, and the Alpine chain is the main landscape element within reach. Pinerolo is the nearest substantial town and has a full set of services, a historic centre and rail links toward Turin. The nearest ski areas are in the upper Chisone valley around Pragelato and Sestriere, roughly an hour or more by road, so they are outside the immediate landscape. This part of the plain is known for mixed agriculture and for being in the orbit of Pinerolo rather than for a specific protected landscape or official tourist status.
