What it really costs

In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €59,000 for 124 sqm, the ask is €476/sqm; with a full restoration estimate of about €1,100/sqm from 'completamente da ristrutturare', the effective cost is roughly €1,576/sqm. That is far above the low stock baseline of €265/sqm for Piemonte farmhouses, so despite the appealing rural setting and decent photo count, this looks weak on price.
More on the house and the area
The setting is pleasant, with green hill views, a little balcony and the feel of a traditional Piedmont farmhouse. But the condition is far beyond cosmetic: there is heavy decay, crumbling plaster, unsafe-looking stairs and at least one seriously damaged room, so this is a full renovation project rather than a livable home. At the price, the size and rural charm help, but the wow is limited by how unready it is for real life.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€49,000 – €73,000
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 58/100The cluster sits in the hills of the Basso Monferrato at the eastern edge of the province of Turin. The Po is the main river of the area and runs a few kilometres to the north below the hill belt. The nearest town of size is Chivasso, which has a station, shops and services. Turin is farther west and matters for commuting and higher-order services, but it is outside the immediate landscape. This part of the hills is known for mixed farmland, woods, small vineyards and scattered hamlets.
