At €39,000 (€195/m²), the purchase looks cheap, but estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €895/m²—well above the €263/m² local comparison level. Utilities, land, and access to Mondovì are positives, but the listing does not clarify structural condition, roof condition, or whether all 200 m² can be used as a dwelling.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly atmospheric Piemonte farmhouse with authentic terracotta roofing, exposed brick, deep arcades, balconies, and attractive vaulted interiors. However, it is fundamentally a renovation project rather than a usable home today: the rooms are unfinished, dusty, and lacking modern kitchen and bathroom infrastructure. At €39,000 for 200 sqm with land and utilities already connected, it has strong project potential but limited immediate livability.
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€40,000 – €70,000
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.
- Major renovation is needed; the interiors are bare and not move-in ready.
- No finished kitchen is visible, and only one bathroom is listed for approximately 200 sqm.
- The old roof structure and timber elements should be professionally inspected before purchase.
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 58/100The cluster sits in the plain at the foot of the Ligurian Alps and the first Maritime Alpine valleys, with open views toward the alpine arc around Mondovì and Cuneo. The Corsaglia valley and the lower Tanaro basin are the main nearby landforms. The nearest town of size is Mondovì, which has a substantial upper historic centre, services and rail connections. The Langhe hills begin not far to the east, but the immediate surroundings are mainly agricultural plain and low foothills.
