At €39,000 for 80 sqm, the ask is €488/sqm; with a light habitable/refresh estimate of about €200/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €688/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €353/sqm, so it does not screen as a discount buy. The description sounds more well-kept and partly updated than truly renovated (heating by stoves, 1980s house, scope to personalise), but 17 photos and a private garden are positives.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, livable house rather than a project: solid structure, functioning kitchen and bathroom, decent bedroom space, and a usable balcony. The best wow comes from the open green setting and mountain/valley views, plus private outdoor space at a very low price. Visually it is more simple than romantic, so the dream factor is modest rather than striking.
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 – €9,000
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 very dated and fairly plain despite being usable.
- Heating appears to rely on stoves rather than a full central system.
- Outdoor space is modest and sloping rather than a flat garden.
- Mountain view is pleasant but partly affected by nearby buildings and wires.
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 71/100The cluster is in the Canavese uplands at the edge of the Graian Alps, with wooded slopes and mountain valleys close by. The Soana valley and Orco valley are within this radius, and the western side of Gran Paradiso National Park begins nearby in the upper valleys. Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with a full service centre and the UNESCO industrial city of the 20th century linked to Olivetti. The area is known in general for chestnut woods, small alpine hamlets and the transition from the Canavese hills into the high valleys of the Turin Alps.
