What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €59,000 (€843/m²), the estimated all-in cost is about €73,000, or €1,043/m² after allowance for ordinary habitable-home upgrades—well above the local €315/m² reference. The sound roof, heating, garage, cellar and mountain setting support the price, but the remote location and limited one-bathroom layout make this a fair rather than standout deal.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable mountain home with a balcony, garden/vegetable plot, dramatic wooded peaks, and a beautiful rocky stream nearby. The roof was fully renewed in 2015, heating is present, and the house has a practical layout, though the interiors are distinctly dated rather than move-in stylish.
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 – €8,000
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 would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- An adjoining old stone structure appears partially deteriorated.
- Energy class is not provided.
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 67/100The cluster sits in the Orco Valley at the entrance to the Gran Paradiso side valleys, with the Graian Alps close around the upper valley. The Orco river runs through this stretch of valley. Gran Paradiso National Park begins farther up the valley around Noasca and Ceresole Reale, outside the immediate 15 km radius. The nearest substantial town is Cuorgnè, which provides everyday shops and services; Ivrea is the larger centre for hospitals, rail links and a fuller set of services. This part of the Canavese is known for alpine valley scenery and for access up-valley toward Ceresole Reale and the Gran Paradiso area.
