What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €10,000 for 315 sqm, the asking price is just €32/sqm versus a €350/sqm local baseline, and the roof was redone in 2017. However only about 65 sqm is currently habitable while 200-250 sqm consists of barns/storage areas to recover, so this is a strong value-add project rather than a ready home; using ~€900/sqm renovation puts the effective cost near €932/sqm.
More on the house and the area
This has real rustic mountain-village charm: stone walls, old balconies, a private garden/courtyard, and hints of valley views. The redone roof is a big plus, and there seems to be a small usable living portion, but most of the 315 sqm is clearly still a serious renovation project rather than an easy move-in home. At €10k the bargain effect is strong, yet the condition keeps it firmly in project territory.
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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€62,000 – €111,000
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.

- Only about 65 sqm appears currently habitable; the majority is a major restoration project.
- Outdoor areas are overgrown and need substantial clearing and landscaping.
- Courtyard/balcony/outbuildings look aged and may need structural checks despite the redone roof.
- Historic-core setting is tight, with neighboring buildings close by.
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 68/100This area sits in the Canavese hills at the edge of the Alpine foreland, with the Graian Alps visible to the north and west. The Dora Baltea valley is nearby, and Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with services, a rail station and a substantial historic center. The Serra d'Ivrea, the long morainic ridge left by the ancient Balteo glacier, is one of the main landscape features of this part of Piemonte and lies within the surrounding area. The zone is known for wooded hills, small villages, vineyards and moraine landscapes rather than for a single monument or resort.
