What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €89,000 for 200 sqm, the ask is €445/sqm; assuming a basically habitable house at about €200/sqm renovation, the effective cost is about €645/sqm. That sits above this catalog's Piemonte country-house baseline of €426/sqm, but the large size, independent house setup, garden/terrace, and 29 photos support a solid rather than exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, large country house with a handsome balcony-heavy facade, covered outdoor space and clearly usable interiors. The photos show a solid, fully livable home, with several rooms virtually refreshed to modern standards while others remain more traditional and dated. At €89k for 200 sqm, it has genuine dream-home appeal because it feels like a house you could actually move into, not just a romantic project.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- No proven panoramic view from the photos.
- Detached land means the garden is not directly around the house.
- Some rooms/bathroom still look dated despite the refreshed finishes elsewhere.
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 68/100The cluster lies at the mouth of Val Sangone, with the Cottian Alps immediately to the west and the lower wooded slopes of Monte Aquila and the Colle Braida side within the local landscape. The Sangone valley and its streams shape the area. The Orsiera-Rocciavrè Natural Park is nearby on the valley side above Giaveno and covers much of the mountain backdrop of this part of the valley. The nearest ski lifts are the small Pian Neiret area above Forno di Coazze, roughly half an hour away, while the larger Via Lattea resorts are much farther and do not belong to the immediate setting. Giaveno itself is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, services, and a role as the main settlement of the valley. The area is known for chestnut woods and for being the first Alpine valley reached from the Turin side.
