What it really costs
- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing ("in asta"), which is an automatic veto for this catalog despite the low ask of €19,120. Even assuming only light works at about €200/m2, the auction risk outweighs the price signal.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable small house rather than a shell: it has finished floors, a bathroom, wooden windows, a bedroom with balcony, and a bit of character from the vaulted ceiling and brick arch. The wow factor is limited, though, because the setting is ordinary and there are visible maintenance issues, especially damp staining and the incomplete heating system. At around €19k it feels more like a practical bargain starter home than a dream-Italian beauty.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Heating system is unfinished/absent, so year-round comfort needs work.
- Visible damp or water staining on interior wall/ceiling.
- Outdoor access and small garden area appear tight and modest rather than dreamy.
- Auction listing photos may be indicative, so details should be verified.
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 68/100The cluster sits at the foot of the Maritime Alps in the open plain just south-west of Cuneo. The Stura di Demonte runs through this part of the province, and the lower Valle Stura begins within a few kilometres to the west. The Parco naturale delle Alpi Marittime is in the mountains above Valdieri and Entracque, roughly within the wider 15 km radius from here. The nearest ski lifts are the small local areas in the valleys above Borgo San Dalmazzo and Demonte, with larger skiing farther away in the province. Cuneo is the nearest town of size and has the main services, rail connections and a substantial historic centre laid out on its wedge-shaped plateau. This area is known for mixed farming on the plain and as the gateway from Cuneo into the Alpine valleys toward the French border.
