What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly a judicial auction ('asta giudiziaria'), which is an automatic veto. The description also includes a ground-floor warehouse and a non-habitable attic within a rural farmhouse, so despite the low 332 €/m2 vs 353 €/m2 baseline, it is not a normal marketable dwelling deal.
More on the house and the area
This has real rustic-cascina appeal: a long brick farmhouse, covered balcony, vaulted spaces and a surprisingly large green setting with mature trees. It does look like a genuine habitable house rather than a shell, with kitchen and finished floors, but the interiors shown are dated, cluttered and only partially documented. Dreamy more for space and rural character than for views or polished beauty.
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€19,000 – €33,000
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.
- Auction listing with limited/illustrative photo reliability
- Interiors look dated and partly cluttered, likely needing significant refresh
- Attic is marked non-habitable
- Bathrooms/bedrooms are not clearly shown in 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 68/100The area is in the Canavese, with the morainic hills left by the ancient glacier of the Dora Baltea and the first Alpine reliefs visible to the north. The Dora Baltea runs nearby, and the Ivrea morainic amphitheatre lies within the local landscape. Castello di Masino is in Caravino itself on the ridge above the plain. Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with services, a historic centre and UNESCO recognition for the 20th-century industrial city of Olivetti. The area is known for mixed farmland, vineyards on the morainic slopes, and the transition from the Po plain to the Aosta valley corridor.
