What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €79,000 for 360 sqm, the ask is just €219/sqm versus a €353/sqm baseline in Piemonte townhouses, and it includes 3 apartments, garages and 4,000 sqm of land. The description says the buildings need modernization, so I estimate about €700/sqm renovation; even with that, the package looks notably cheap for a large multi-unit property with mountain views and good access.
More on the house and the area
This is a big, real, usable mountain property rather than a ruin: solid structure, finished floors, bathrooms, stairwell, balconies and garages are all in place. The wow comes from the panoramic Alpine setting, private land and the sheer scale for the price. It needs substantial updating and cosmetic work, but it already reads as a livable house with strong potential.
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€71,000 – €126,000
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 dated and need broad modernization.
- Some rooms appear empty/incomplete, including kitchens to install.
- Exterior style is more functional 1970s than romantic historic.
- Large multi-unit layout may mean higher heating and maintenance costs.
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 sits in the Valli di Lanzo, with the Graian Alps around the valley and the upper valley rising toward peaks on the French border. The Stura di Lanzo runs through this part of the valley. Ceres is one of the main small centres of the Val Grande di Lanzo, with everyday services and the Torino–Ceres rail link toward the plain. The nearest larger town is Lanzo Torinese, and Turin is the main city for higher-order services. This area is known for alpine valley settlements, hiking and summer access into the Lanzo valleys.
