What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €58,000 for 96 sqm, the asking price is €604/sqm; assuming habitable condition from the description, about €200/sqm renovation brings the effective cost to roughly €804/sqm. That is well above the local baseline of €413/sqm, so despite 20 photos and some appeal as a mountain second home near sports facilities/pool, the deal looks only fair.
More on the house and the area
The real wow here is the mountain panorama: snowy peaks and open green space right in front of the house give it a genuinely dreamy Alpine setting. The home itself looks solid, furnished, and usable now, with kitchen, bathrooms, floors and bedrooms all in place, but it is clearly dated and would benefit from cosmetic refreshing. At €58k for 96 sqm, it feels like a very livable bargain with scenery doing most of the emotional heavy lifting.
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€6,000 – €11,000
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 wood-heavy, so most buyers will want cosmetic updating.
- Bathroom appears old and compact rather than modern.
- Exterior is functional rather than especially charming or historic.
- Mountain setting is beautiful, but this looks more like a practical second home than a polished dream interior.
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 85/100The Maritime Alps surround Entracque, with high valleys and peaks including the Argentera group within the local landscape. The area lies in the Parco Naturale delle Alpi Marittime, contiguous with the Mercantour protected area across the French border. The Gesso stream runs through the valley. The nearest ski lifts are at Entracque itself for small local skiing, with the larger Limone Piemonte lifts roughly 30–40 minutes away by road. Cuneo is the nearest town of size, with full services, rail connections and a historic centre. The area is known for alpine hiking, wildlife and mountain reservoirs such as the Chiotas and della Rovina dams in the upper valley.
