This is explicitly an auction listing ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a hard veto for this catalog. Even ignoring that, the property is only partially renovated and includes non-residential outbuildings and land, so the headline €193/m² is not directly comparable to the €318/m² baseline.
More on the house and the area
This is a large rural Piedmont property with some outdoor space and a simple farmhouse feel, but the setting and architecture are not especially striking in the photos. It appears roofed and structurally present rather than a ruin, yet the interiors are sparse, dated and visibly degraded, so it feels like a substantial project rather than an easy move-in home. The very low price for 435 sqm adds value appeal more than wow.
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€86,000 – €153,000
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 look very basic and partly stripped, needing significant renovation.
- Visible damp/deterioration inside suggests more than cosmetic work.
- Auction sale: legal/doc condition should be checked carefully.
- No bathroom is shown/listed, so immediate livability is uncertain.
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 58/100The cluster lies in the Bormida valley in the hills between the Langhe and Monferrato systems, with vineyard and woodland slopes around the river plain. The Bormida river runs through the area. Acqui Terme is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and thermal baths. This part of southern Piemonte is known for wine landscapes and mixed vine-covered hills, but the strongest named wine zones are outside the immediate 15 km radius.
