What it really costs

At €67/m², the €12,000 asking price looks cheap, but a 180 m² three-level former hayloft/deposit needing major renovation implies roughly €1100/m², or about €210,000 all-in—far above the €263/m² Piemonte baseline. Only one 20 m² room is described as residential, with no baths or beds, so substantial habitability and permitting work remains uncertain.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine historic appeal, with rough stone walls, vaulted masonry, old timber beams, and a characterful village setting. However, the photos show an empty former hayloft and storage building rather than a usable home: interiors are raw and dark, the roof and balcony look compromised, and there are no bathrooms or living facilities.
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€71,000 – €105,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 72/100The cluster sits in the upper Susa Valley with the Cottian Alps around it. The Dora Riparia runs through the valley. The Gran Bosco di Salbertrand Regional Park is nearby on the valley side between Chiomonte and Salbertrand. The nearest ski lifts are in the Via Lattea system around Oulx and Sauze d’Oulx, roughly 20–30 minutes by road, with Claviere and Montgenèvre farther up the valley toward the French border. Susa is the nearest town of some size down-valley, with rail services, Roman remains and the main valley services; Oulx up-valley is the practical service centre for the upper valley and has the station for trains toward Turin and France. The area is known for its alpine valley landscape, cross-border route through the Moncenisio and Fréjus corridors, and the local Ramìe mountain wine grown on terraces around Chiomonte.
