What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €68,000 for 157 sqm, the ask is €433/sqm versus a low-stock baseline median of €459/sqm in Piemonte country houses, so the sticker price is only slightly below ordinary. With no clear claim of being renovated or fully habitable, I assume a needs-renovation level of about €700/sqm; that pushes the effective cost to roughly €1,133/sqm, making it a fair rural project rather than a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
The mountain setting is the real wow here: wide panoramic valley views, a handsome stone-roofed exterior, and over 7,000 sqm of land make it feel like a true Alpine hideaway. Crucially, this is not a ruin—the main rooms shown are furnished and usable, with kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms in place, though the house looks tired and partly uneven in finish. It feels like a real home with strong dream appeal, but one that would benefit from substantial cosmetic upgrading.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€31,000 – €55,000
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.
- Interiors are livable but dated and need refreshing.
- Some spaces appear rustic/unfinished, so usability may vary across the house.
- Exterior terraces and garden areas look a bit neglected.
- Semi-detached rather than fully detached.
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 68/100Rueglio sits in the Valchiusella area at the edge of the Piedmont Alps, with wooded slopes and mid-mountain pasture above the Canavese plain. The Chiusella valley and stream are the main local natural feature. The nearest larger centre is Ivrea, which has a full set of services and a well-preserved historic core; Ivrea is on the UNESCO list for its twentieth-century Olivetti industrial city. This part of Canavese is known for chestnut woods, small stone villages and low Alpine walking country.
