See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction with a €28,500 minimum bid, and the property needs substantial renovation: dated systems, no water, sewer or gas connections, and cadastral and planning discrepancies. The listing describes two bathrooms, while the recorded facts show none, adding uncertainty to the 316 m² property.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, genuinely usable three-storey country house with a photogenic grassy setting, wooded land, balconies, a traditional brick-vaulted ceiling, and a fireplace. The interiors are dated and cluttered rather than beautiful, but the house appears habitable rather than an empty shell; its low price and 3,560 sqm of woodland create real potential. Its remote utilities and legal/maintenance issues make it a renovation-minded purchase, not an effortless dream home.
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€125,000 – €185,000
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.

- Auction purchase and access to parts of the outbuilding require careful technical and legal checks.
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 62/100Cassinasco sits in the Langa Astigiana, on the hill country between the Bormida valley and the higher Langhe. The Bormida di Millesimo valley is nearby, and the area is known for woodland, vineyards, hazelnut groves and small hill villages. Canelli is the nearest town of size, with rail services, wine cellars and the core of the Asti Spumante and Moscato area. This part of southern Asti is tied to the wine landscape that continues toward the Langhe, with rolling ridges rather than major alpine relief.
