What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 for 150 sqm, the asking price is €500/sqm; assuming a renovation-level cost of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,200/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €414/sqm in Piemonte country houses. The large size, independence on 4 sides, garden/terrace/parking and strong photo set help, but the description does not support 'habitable' and the last 150 m are unpaved, so this looks like a solid renovation project rather than an exceptional bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable detached house with a pleasant garden, balconies and mountain outlooks, and at €75k for 150 sqm it has strong value. The exterior is appealing and the structure looks intact, but inside it is plainly dated with visible moisture marks and tired finishes, so it feels livable now yet in need of meaningful refreshing. Dream factor comes more from the independent house-and-garden life than from interior beauty.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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 clear cosmetic renovation.
- Visible damp/staining and worn finishes suggest maintenance work is needed.
- Only one bathroom for a large three-storey house.
- The last 150 m access road is unpaved and the house is reached alongside the railway.
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 is in the Valli di Lanzo on the first Alpine slopes north-west of Turin, with wooded ridges and side valleys rising toward the Graian Alps. The Stura di Lanzo valley system is the main physical feature of the area. Lanzo Torinese is the nearest town of size, with everyday services and rail links toward Turin. Turin is the main city for higher-level services and work, but it lies outside the local 15 km landscape. The area is known for its pre-Alpine valley setting and for access farther up the Lanzo valleys toward higher mountain country.
