Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €748/m², the asking price is already nearly three times the local €263/m² benchmark, and the listing does not state the condition or renovation requirements. Allowing roughly €700/m² for an unspecified farmhouse renovation makes the effective cost far above comparable stock, despite the panoramic setting, garden, garage and extensive photo coverage.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable Monferrato farmhouse with a generous private garden, mature trees, panoramic countryside setting, and attractive brick arcades. The interior is fully furnished with a functional fitted kitchen and two bathrooms, though the style is dated rather than turnkey-modern. At €83,000, the combination of space, land, and usable condition is compelling.
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€22,000 – €39,000
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 house appears solid and usable, but finishes and furnishings are dated.
- The large grounds are dry and would need regular landscaping and maintenance.
- Utilities, energy performance, and exact renovation history are not shown.
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 66/100This is the Monferrato hill country, with rolling cultivated hills, vineyards and mixed farmland. The Po plain lies to the north and the Tanaro valley is part of the wider area around Alessandria. Casale Monferrato is the nearest town of size, with services and a substantial historic centre; Alessandria is also nearby for wider rail, shopping and administrative functions. Parts of Monferrato are UNESCO-listed as the vineyard landscape of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, though the core recognised wine landscapes are not all centered on Fubine itself. The area is known for wine growing, especially Barbera and Grignolino, and for the broader food-and-wine landscape of the Casalese and Monferrato.
