At €90,000 for 62 sqm, the ask is €1,452/sqm; with a likely renovation budget around €850/sqm for a mixed-use building to refurbish, effective cost is about €2,302/sqm. That is vastly above your Piemonte farmhouse baseline of €264/sqm, and while the historic-center setting helps a little, the mixed commercial/storage components limit appeal as a straightforward livable home.
More on the house and the area
This has some modest old-town character in the facade, balcony and simple period finishes upstairs, but it is not a dream-setting property. The building is clearly a full renovation project, with the ground floor especially raw and damp-looking and no usable kitchen or bathroom visible. As shown, it feels more like a mixed-use shell than a home you could soon live in.
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, €850/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€12,000 – €22,000
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 38/100The area lies on the northern edge of the Turin plain near the lower course of the Po, with the first hills of Canavese to the north and west and the Alpine chain visible farther off. The Po plain and irrigation countryside dominate within the immediate surroundings, with smaller watercourses including the Malone in the local area. Turin is the nearest major city and provides the full range of services, rail connections, universities, museums and airport access. The Residences of the Royal House of Savoy in and around Turin are a UNESCO World Heritage site, including Venaria Reale outside the city to the west, but this is beyond the immediate landscape of the cluster. The area is known for mixed agriculture, logistics and industry along the Turin metropolitan fringe.
