This 70 sqm mountain farmhouse is €43,000 (€614/sqm), but the text says it needs a full restoration including redoing the stone roof, so I estimate about €1,100/sqm renovation. That brings the effective cost to about €1,714/sqm, far above the very low local baseline of €263/sqm; the 2,202 sqm land and panoramic setting help, but not enough to offset the heavy works and remote location 2.3 km from the center.
More on the house and the area
The setting is genuinely dreamy: a tiny stone mountain farmhouse in open meadowland with wide alpine valley views and lots of private green space. It has strong rustic character outside, but inside it is still a bare old shell with rough rooms and no visible finished living facilities. This is a romantic project rather than a ready home, so the wow comes from the setting more than present livability.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €41,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 62/100The cluster is in the Canavese at the mouth of the Valle Orco, with the Graian Alps closing the northern horizon and the first Alpine slopes starting immediately above the plain. The Orco river runs through the area. The Parco Nazionale del Gran Paradiso begins farther up the valley, with its nearest access around Ceresole Reale beyond the 15 km radius. Cuorgnè is the nearest town of size for daily needs, and Ivrea is the nearest larger centre with a railway station, hospitals and a fuller set of services. The area is known for the transition from the Canavese plain to the Alpine valleys and for hydroelectric valleys farther up the Orco basin.
