At EUR 75,000 for 160 sqm, the ask is about EUR 469/sqm; with recent renovation and modern upgrades, estimated renovation is EUR 0/sqm, so effective price stays EUR 469/sqm. That is about 47% above this catalog's Piemonte villa baseline of EUR 320/sqm, so despite the strong feature set it looks more ordinary-to-pricey than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home: renovated, furnished, and clearly ready to live in, with efficient upgrades like photovoltaic panels, heat pump and pellet boiler. The exterior is pleasant and family-friendly, and there are a few warm character touches such as wood ceilings and brick arches. But the setting is ordinary rather than dreamy, so the wow comes more from value and livability than from beauty.
The listing and its photos show a house you can move into. Anything you spend beyond the price is your choice, not a repair.
- No real view or standout setting; it is in a plain village context near the motorway.
- Interiors are practical rather than beautiful, with some dark/low-ceiling attic areas.
- Only one bathroom shown for a 160 sqm family house.
- Outdoor space is useful but not especially landscaped or romantic.
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 42/100This is the eastern Biella plain at the edge of the rice country around the Cervo and Sesia river systems, with flat farmland, irrigation channels and small woods. The Monte Rosa chain is the main mountain backdrop on clear days to the north-west, but it is outside the immediate 15 km landscape. Biella is the nearest town of size, with services, shops and the historic upper town of Biella Piazzo. The wider area is known for rice fields toward Vercelli and for the textile district of the Biella province.
