What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €53,000 for 80 sqm, the ask is €662/sqm; for a rustico to customize, I estimate a full restoration at about €1,100/sqm, for an effective cost near €1,762/sqm. That is still attractive for this kind of independent farmhouse with 3,700 sqm of irrigated land, well and cellar, though the very low €263/sqm baseline for your sub-€100k stock makes it less of an extreme discount on this dataset.
More on the house and the area
The setting is genuinely lovely: open irrigated land, mature trees and broad mountain views give it real dream-value. The house itself has rustic 1885 character, but from the photos it reads as a small, tired shell needing major renovation before anyone could realistically live there. At this price the land and view help a lot, yet this is still more project than home today.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/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.
- Full renovation project; not currently a usable home
- Interior condition is not shown and likely very basic/empty
- Small rural farmhouse with limited existing volume
- Listing image includes expansion/rendering concept, not the current house
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 72/100The cluster sits at the foot of the Cottian Alps, with Monviso dominating the upper Po valley a short distance to the west. The Po rises nearby at Pian del Re above Crissolo, and this stretch of the Valle Po is the main natural frame of the area. Saluzzo is the nearest substantial town, with a large historic centre below the hill of the old town. The area is known for fruit growing on the plain and lower slopes, and for access into the Monviso side valleys.
