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 €27,000 for 175 sqm, the ask is €154/sqm, but in 'needs renovation' condition the effective cost is about €854/sqm including ~€700/sqm works, far above the local baseline of €263/sqm. Big private garden, panoramic hill position and good photo coverage help, but the low ask is offset by the substantial renovation needed.
More on the house and the area
The hilltop position, wide valley views and large private plot give this farmhouse real dream potential, and the vaulted old agricultural spaces have genuine rustic character. But this is not a ready-to-live beauty: the house is structurally standing with roof, floors and basic rooms, yet it is clearly a full renovation project rather than an immediately usable home. At €27k for 175 sqm with land and panorama, the bargain effect is strong.
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€35,000 – €62,000
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.

- Full renovation needed before it feels comfortable
- Interiors look very basic, dated and partly utility/storage-like
- Outbuildings appear rough and may need major work
- Roadside setting is practical but not especially romantic

The area around
Location score 68/100The cluster is in the Ligurian Alps and Maritime Alps foothill zone, in the upper Tanaro valley system with wooded ridges and small agricultural clearings around the village. The Tanaro valley is the main landscape feature of this part of southern Cuneo, and the Ligurian Alps rise to the south within the local horizon. The area is close to the Alta Valle Tanaro and the margins of Parco del Marguareis, one of the main protected mountain areas in southern Piemonte. Ceva is the nearest town of some size for daily services, rail links and supermarkets. This part of southern Piemonte is known for hazelnuts, mixed woodland, stone villages and road access toward the mountain passes into Liguria.
