What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 for 230 sqm, the ask is just €300/sqm versus a €433/sqm local baseline, but the description says da riammodernare, so I estimate about €700/sqm renovation; that puts the effective cost near €1,000/sqm, well above baseline. Big size, independence, garden/terrace and 37 photos are positives, but mechanically this looks more like a normal renovation project than a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, large, usable country house with terrace, garden space and a pleasant green setting, not a shell. The exterior has some rustic charm and the price-to-size ratio is striking, but interiors are simple and dated rather than beautiful, with visible wear and some damp marks. It feels livable now with room to improve, not an instant dream home.
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€46,000 – €81,000
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.
- Needs updating and cosmetic modernization throughout
- Some rooms show moisture marks/staining on walls
- Exterior is partly unfinished/rough in places
- No truly standout view shown in the photos
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 66/100The area sits in the lower Biellese valleys at the edge of the Pennine Alps, with wooded slopes and small settlements along the Sessera valley. The Sessera river runs through this part of the valley. The nearest substantial mountain area is the Oasi Zegna and the Bielmonte zone, with ski lifts around Bielmonte at roughly a 25-minute drive. The nearest town of size is Biella, which has full services, rail connections and a historic centre. This part of the province is known for textile mills and for the transition from the Po-side plain into the alpine foothills.
