What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €28,000 for 100 sqm, the asking price is €280/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €263/sqm, but this is a "needs renovation" rustic; using about €600/sqm due to the 2018 rebuilt roof, the effective cost is roughly €880/sqm. The new roof, central position, private 300 sqm garden and outbuilding make it a solid renovation project, though not a deep discount once works are included.
More on the house and the area
There is some authentic rustic character here: brick vaults, old masonry and a large private courtyard/garden give it conversion potential. The 2018 roof is a real plus, but this is still largely an unfinished, non-livable shell rather than a home you could move into. At €28k it feels cheap for the volume and outdoor space, yet the wow is more project-based than dream-home ready.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€20,000 – €35,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 52/100Mercenasco sits in the Canavese plain between Ivrea and the lower Alpine foothills. The Dora Baltea runs through this part of the province, with irrigated fields, canals and scattered villages across a flat agricultural landscape. Ivrea is the nearest town of size; it has a substantial historic centre and the industrial heritage linked to Olivetti, part of the UNESCO listing "Ivrea, industrial city of the 20th century." Toward the north and west the Alps close the horizon, but the main mountain valleys and ski lifts are outside the immediate 15 km landscape. This area is known locally for Canavese agriculture and for its position on the plain below the morainic hills of Ivrea.
