What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The description explicitly says the house is completely to be renovated, so I used about EUR 1,100/m2 renovation cost: effective cost is roughly EUR 123,700 total, or about EUR 1,606/m2. That is far above the local baseline of EUR 353/m2 for this stock, though the 10,000 sqm land and detached hill position add some appeal.
More on the house and the area
This has real rustic Piedmont character: stone walls, old timber ceilings, a wooden balcony and a peaceful green setting with substantial land. But it is not a ready dream home yet — the house is standing and partly furnished rather than a ruin, yet it clearly needs full renovation and basic service upgrades before comfortable living. At €39k with 10,000 sqm, the charm and bargain are strong, but the condition keeps it just below true wow territory.
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€30,000 – €45,000
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.
- Completely in need of renovation despite being roofed and standing
- No bathroom is shown/listed, so basic livability is very limited
- Some exterior structures and balconies look weathered and may need structural work
- Interiors show age, staining and likely outdated systems
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 74/100The cluster is at the foot of the Cottian Alps, with Monte Bracco above Bagnolo Piemonte and the upper Po valley close by. The Po rises on Monviso at Pian del Re within this part of the valley system, and the Monviso massif is the dominant mountain feature in the area. The Monviso Natural Park lies nearby around the upper valley. The nearest sizeable town is Saluzzo, which has a substantial historic centre and everyday services. This area is known for mountain foothill landscapes, stone villages and the Monviso-Po valley system.
