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 €60,000 for 352 sqm, the ask is only €170/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €350/sqm, but the house is completely to renovate and the description includes stables, open sheds and attic space that may not all be straightforward living area. Using about €900/sqm renovation, the effective cost is ~€1,070/sqm, which makes it more of a large restoration project than a bargain despite the private 600 sqm courtyard/garden and central village location.
More on the house and the area
This has real rustic Canavese character: a handsome long façade with arcaded balconies, big covered volumes, old cellars and a private 600 sqm courtyard/garden. But it is not a ready home: much of the building reads as agricultural/storage space, with raw open bays and worn interiors, so the beauty is mostly potential rather than immediate livability. At €60k for 352 sqm it feels like a compelling project, not yet a dream home you could simply move into.
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€70,000 – €124,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Completely to be renovated; large parts are raw or barn-like rather than finished living space.
- No bathroom is shown and the listing states 0 baths, so core services likely need creating/updating.
- Visible damp, peeling plaster and dated interiors mean substantial work before comfortable full-time living.
- Very large footprint can become costly to restore and maintain.
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 63/100The cluster is in the Serra morenica di Ivrea, the long glacial ridge that runs across this part of southern Biella and Canavese. The Dora Baltea plain and the Ivrea area are close to the south, and the first Biellese pre-Alps rise to the north. The nearest larger town is Biella, with the provincial services, shops and rail connections. Ivrea is also nearby, with a larger historic centre and the UNESCO-listed industrial city of Olivetti. This area is known for morainic hills, woodland, small vineyards and mixed farming.
