What it really costs

Not before the basics are done

At €9,000 for 80 sqm, the ask is only €112/sqm, but the building is explicitly described as a 'rustico collabente' to be fully recovered, with no utilities and access only on foot via a 2 km path. Using about €1,400/sqm renovation, effective cost is ~€1,512/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €263/sqm, and the severe access/utilities limits make it a very weak candidate for a normal livable home purchase.
More on the house and the area
The setting is genuinely beautiful: a secluded stone mountain rustico with sweeping valley views, forest all around, and strong old rural character. But this is not a usable home today — the interiors are primitive and damp, the balcony/structure looks fragile, and the listing itself describes a total recovery project. Dreamy for an off-grid restoration vision, not for someone wanting to move in and live soon.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,400/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€32,000 – €47,000
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 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.
