The key issue is legal use: the description states it is currently cadastral category deposito, so it is not a dwelling as sold. Although the asking price is only €119/m² versus a €264/m² baseline, a non-habitable storage-class property is a veto red flag and renovation would not solve the legal-risk question.
More on the house and the area
This has real dream material: a big stone farmhouse, lovely wooded setting, panoramic valley views and 14,000 sqm of land for only €32k. The exterior character is strong, but the photos show a rough, largely unfinished/utility-state property rather than a usable home. It feels like a beautiful renovation project, not a move-in rural retreat yet.
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€53,000 – €94,000
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.

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 67/100The cluster is in the Biellese prealps, with wooded slopes and small valleys at the entrance to the Serra morainic area. The Elvo valley is nearby, and the Oasi Zegna protected mountain area lies to the north within the wider Biella mountains. Bielmonte, the nearest ski area of note, is about 30–40 minutes by road. Biella is the nearest town of size, with full services and a historic upper town at the Piazzo. The area is known for former wool-textile districts and for the morainic landscape around the Serra d'Ivrea.
