What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The text describes a small independent ground-floor house with bathroom, kitchen and 30 photos, so it looks habitable rather than a ruin; I estimate about €200/m² renovation, giving an effective price of about €72,600 or €1,068/m². That is far above this catalog baseline for Piemonte country houses (€433/m²), so despite the garden/buildable land and fresh listing, it looks expensive for the segment.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable little home, not a shell: furnished, with kitchen, bathroom, covered terrace and a pretty green outlook. The big arched windows and woodland setting give it real charm, though the house itself is simple and somewhat dated rather than a knockout dream property. At €59k it has a nice bargain feel for a liveable detached retreat with garden.
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 – €7,000
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.
- Single-room studio layout may feel limited for full-time living
- Interiors are basic and dated rather than truly characterful
- Garden is pleasant but somewhat sloped/wooded and partly shaded
- Road sits very close above the house
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 Val Sangone at the foot of the Cottian Alps, with wooded lower slopes rising quickly west of the town. The Sangone stream runs through the valley. The Natural Park of Monte San Giorgio lies by Giaveno, and the Sacra di San Michele on Monte Pirchiriano is within the surrounding area and is one of the main historic landmarks of the lower Susa-Val Sangone hills. The nearest substantial town is Avigliana, with lakes and a medieval centre; Turin is the main city for services and work. This part of the province is known for prealpine valley landscapes, chestnut woods, and access to hiking into the lower Alps.
