Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €500/m², the asking price is already above the local €397/m² benchmark, and allowing roughly €700/m² for an unspecified renovation condition raises the effective cost to about €1,200/m². The private garden and mountain setting are positives, but the listing does not say whether the house is currently habitable or what work is required.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable, attractively updated mountain home with a furnished kitchen, working wood stove, finished floors, and abundant outdoor space. The private stone-paved terrace and garden command an exceptional open panorama of the surrounding Alpine valleys and peaks, making the setting the main dream factor. At €49,000 for 98 sqm, it has unusually strong bargain appeal, although it feels more like a charming retreat than a spacious full-time family house.
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€19,000 – €34,000
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.
- The listing shows only one bathroom and a compact mountain-house layout.
- Access appears stepped and potentially challenging for reduced mobility.
- The exterior is well maintained but practical details such as insulation, heating efficiency, and year-round access should be verified.
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 72/100The Maritime Alps rise immediately around Roccavione at the entrance to the Vermenagna valley. The Gesso torrent and the lower Vermenagna valley are the main local landforms, with wooded slopes and valley-floor settlement. The Parco Naturale delle Alpi Marittime lies nearby to the south-west, with the Entracque side of the protected alpine area within local reach. The nearest ski area is Limone Piemonte and the Riserva Bianca lifts, roughly half an hour by road depending on the exact starting point. Cuneo is the nearest town of size, with full services, a rail station and a substantial historic centre. This part of the province is known for alpine valleys, chestnut and beech woods, and routes toward the Colle di Tenda and the French border.
