What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €39,000 for 73 sqm, the asking price is €534/sqm; assuming habitable condition from the description, a light renovation estimate of about €200/sqm brings effective cost to roughly €734/sqm. That sits above this catalog's Piemonte country-house baseline of €463/sqm, so it looks ordinary to slightly expensive rather than a standout deal.
More on the house and the area
The bell-tower setting adds a touch of old-village character, and the house appears structurally complete and basically usable rather than a shell. But inside it is very ordinary and dated, with limited beauty and some visible wear, so this feels more like a cheap practical townhouse than a dream-home scroll-stopper.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Very plain, dated interiors with little charm.
- Some visible staining/damp marks suggest maintenance work may be needed.
- Ground-floor street exposure reduces privacy.
- No proven views, garden, or outdoor lifestyle space beyond a small balcony.
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 52/100The cluster lies in the Canavese area at the edge of the Po plain, with the Graian Alps visible to the north and west. The Malone stream runs through Front and joins the Orco nearby; the Orco valley opens toward the lower Alpine valleys around Rivarolo Canavese and Cuorgnè. The nearest town of some size is Ciriè, with rail links, shops and services, and Rivarolo Canavese is the main small centre for the upper Canavese plain. Turin is the main city for work and transport, but it is outside the immediate landscape. This part of northern Canavese is known for mixed farming, small industrial settlements and villages spread between fields and low wooded rises.
