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
At €79,000 for 150 sqm, the ask is €527/sqm; with only light refresh estimated at about €100/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €627/sqm. That is above this catalog’s Piemonte townhouse baseline of €353/sqm, but the house is detached on four sides, includes 3 independent units in good condition with 3 baths, garden and terrace, which supports a solid but not bargain-level score.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, ready-to-use mountain home with a striking alpine backdrop, wraparound balconies and a lovely covered terrace. The interiors are simple but bright, spacious and fully habitable, so the wow comes more from the setting and usability than from architectural character. At this price for 150 sqm and three self-contained units, it has strong dream-to-own appeal.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/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 – €8,000
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 clean and usable but fairly plain, with limited historic charm.
- Heating appears to rely on stoves rather than a full conventional system.
- Mountain setting may feel isolated and access could be less convenient in winter.
- Outdoor space is modest rather than a large private estate.
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 84/100The cluster is in the Graian Alps, in the upper Soana valley side, with steep forested slopes and high alpine relief immediately around it. The Soana torrent runs through the valley below. This area is inside Gran Paradiso National Park, which covers the upper valleys here and the high mountains on the Piedmont side of the massif. The nearest ski lifts are the small facilities at Alpe Cialma above Locana, roughly 25–35 minutes by road, while the larger resort system of Ceresole Reale is farther up the Orco valley. The nearest town of some size is Cuorgnè, which has the main day-to-day services for this part of the Canavese. The area is known for alpine walking, wildlife linked to the Gran Paradiso park, and stone mountain villages of the Canavese valleys.
