The €47,000 asking price looks exceptionally low at €93/m² versus €263/m² locally, but this 504 m² rustic farmhouse is presented as having major potential rather than being habitable. Assuming comprehensive restoration at about €1,100/m², the effective cost is roughly €1,193/m², before accounting for the 2,500 m² plot.
More on the house and the area
The setting is genuinely appealing, with broad mountain-valley views, extensive land and a characterful Piemonte farmhouse built around old stone, brick and timber elements. However, the photos suggest a mixed-use rural compound with significant unfinished/storage areas rather than a fully usable home, so its beauty is strongest as a renovation project.
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€200,000 – €295,000
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.
- This is presented as a rustico with substantial renovation potential, not a clearly move-in-ready home.
- The gallery shows mainly agricultural/storage spaces and garages, with no finished living interiors.
- Verify which rooms are legally habitable, plus roof, utilities, access and renovation costs.
- The large rural lot is attractive but appears partly overgrown and requires ongoing maintenance.
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 66/100The cluster is in the lower Valli di Lanzo at the first rise from the Turin plain, with the Graian Alps closing the northern and western horizon. The Ceronda valley is local here, and the Stura di Lanzo valley system begins a short distance north and west. The Lanzo valleys are within the 15 km landscape, with woods, slopes and mountain villages rather than open plain. Venaria Reale and the north-west edge of Turin are the nearest larger urban areas, with full services and rail links toward the city. The area is known as the approach to the Lanzo valleys from Turin.
