Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €300/m², the asking price is only slightly above the local €263/m² benchmark, but allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified condition brings the effective cost to about €500/m². The large 13-room farmhouse has strong space and tourism potential near Val Sarmassa, though the listing does not say whether it is immediately habitable.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, well-kept farmhouse with a generous private courtyard/garden, mature greenery, shutters, patterned floors, wood paneling, and a working-looking fireplace. The house appears fully roofed, furnished, and genuinely livable rather than a renovation shell, though its interiors are distinctly old-fashioned and the setting offers nature more than a proven panoramic view.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€20,000 – €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.
- Interiors are very dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- Only two bathrooms for a 13-room, 300 sqm property may be limiting.
- Roof, heating, utilities, and structural condition are not confirmed by the photos.
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 61/100The area sits in the hills of the Alto Monferrato, with vine-covered ridges, small woods and cultivated valleys. The Bormida valley is the main river landscape nearby. Nizza Monferrato is the nearest town of size, with a working historic centre and services; Asti is the larger city in the wider area. This part of Monferrato is known for vineyards and wine production, especially Barbera. The core UNESCO wine landscape of Monferrato is farther east around Nizza Monferrato and does not lie directly on this cluster.
