What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €58,000 for 80 m², the asking price is €725/m²; adding an estimated €16,000 for remaining work gives an effective €925/m², about 3.5× the Piemonte farmhouse baseline of €263/m². The home is largely renovated and habitable, with 12 photos and no major legal red flags, but the price premium is substantial for a remote Caprie location.
More on the house and the area
A highly characterful, habitable stone farmhouse with beautifully renovated interiors, exposed beams, a substantial fireplace, quality kitchen and an unusual resin-finished wooden bathtub. Mountain scenery, private green areas and a picturesque stone-borgata setting give it genuine dream-home appeal, while the unfinished room and rougher outbuildings keep it just below the very top tier.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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 exterior of some adjoining structures and the outdoor areas need tidying and improvement.
- One bedroom still needs its final flooring, and another room remains unfinished.
- The separate rustico requires renovation and garage conversion depends on planning approval.
- Wood-only heating may be less convenient for full-time winter living.
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 cluster is in the lower Susa Valley with the Graian Alps and the entrances to the Orsiera-Rocciavrè Natural Park close by. The Dora Riparia runs along the valley floor. Sacra di San Michele stands on Monte Pirchiriano a few kilometres away and is one of the main historic landmarks of this part of Piemonte. Avigliana, the nearest larger town, has services, a rail connection, and the Lakes of Avigliana just to the east. The valley is known for its Alpine setting, old abbeys and forts, and as the main route from Turin toward the Mont Cenis and Fréjus passes.
