What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a cadastral F/2 unit, which is typically a collabente/ruin and not currently habitable; the text also confirms no electricity, no sewer connection, and major restoration is needed. Even before utility works, the estimated effective cost is about €1,380/m² (€280/m² price + ~€1,100/m² renovation), far above the very low €353/m² baseline for this stock.
More on the house and the area
This has real alpine-rustic charm: stone exterior, timber details, mountain outlook and a large, private natural setting. But the house is only partly recovered inside and still feels semi-raw, with incomplete rooms and basic utility issues, so it reads as a beautiful project rather than an immediately usable home. At €42k with 18,000 sqm, the value helps the dream.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€59,000 – €88,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Category F/2 and clearly a major renovation project, not move-in ready.
- No electricity currently connected.
- No public sewer; a septic/biological system will be needed.
- Roof was revised but not fully redone, so condition needs checking.
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 70/100The cluster is in the Valli di Lanzo, with the Graian Alps around it and side valleys rising quickly above the valley floor. The Stura di Viù runs through the valley. Colle del Lys is nearby and marks the ridge toward the Susa side. The nearest ski area is the small Pian Benot lift area above Usseglio, roughly 30–40 minutes by road from Viù. Lanzo Torinese is the nearest town of some size in the lower valleys, with rail access toward Turin and the main everyday services; Turin is the main city for hospitals, universities and a full range of shops and work. This part of the valleys is known for alpine pasture, second-home villages and summer walking routes.
