What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000 for 240 sqm, the ask is just €167/sqm; with a prudent renovation estimate of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €867/sqm. That is still reasonable for a large detached country house with garden/terrace and 48 photos, though not below your low-stock baseline of €426/sqm once works are included; the very low entry price and strong size/location appeal support a high score.
More on the house and the area
The riverfront corner setting is the real hook here: balcony views over the Tanaro, the old arched bridge and green hills make it genuinely memorable. The house is no ruin at all—large, roofed, with floors, kitchen and bathrooms in place—but it feels very dated and would need a proper refresh before becoming a dream home. At €40k for 240 sqm, the price adds real appeal.
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€48,000 – €84,000
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 significant cosmetic updating
- some rooms appear empty or former-service spaces rather than finished living areas
- position directly by the river may raise humidity/flood-risk questions
- house sits on a roadside corner, so privacy is limited
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 61/100The cluster sits in the upper Val Bormida at the Ligurian Apennine edge, with wooded hills and low mountain ridges rising around the valley. The Bormida di Millesimo runs through this part of the valley. The Ligurian Alps begin a short distance to the south and west, with higher ground toward Garessio and Ormea. Ceva is the nearest town of size, with rail links, basic services and a historic centre. This part of southern Cuneo is known for mixed woodland, hayfields and small hill villages on the Piedmont-Liguria transition.
