What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €35,000 (€565/m²), the effective cost rises to about €1,129/m² after assuming €700/m² renovation, versus a Piemonte farmhouse baseline of €263/m². The description suggests a rustic mountain property but gives no condition, legal or systems details, so the apparent low price is not enough to qualify as a strong deal.
More on the house and the area
A highly atmospheric stone mountain house with exposed beams, traditional masonry, a vine-covered balcony, wood-burning stove, and a warm, fully furnished interior. It appears move-in ready rather than a ruin, with a working kitchen, bathroom, bedroom area, and solid roof, though the compact layout and remote high-altitude setting make it better suited to a couple or vacation retreat than a large household. At €35,000, the preserved character and livability create a strong bargain effect.
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€12,000 – €22,000
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.
- Mountain access and winter usability should be checked at approximately 1,100m altitude.
- The compact 62 sqm layout and single bedroom may limit full-time living space.
- Roof, insulation, heating, and utilities should be verified despite the home appearing usable.
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 Val di Susa with the Graian Alps and the Susa Valley slopes immediately around it. The Dora Riparia runs through the valley. The Parco naturale Orsiera-Rocciavrè lies nearby on the south side of the valley. The Sacra di San Michele stands on Monte Pirchiriano within roughly this radius and is the main landmark of the lower valley. Bussoleno and Susa are the nearest larger valley towns with rail services, shops and daily services; Turin is farther down-valley for major urban functions. The area is known for the Val di Susa alpine corridor, mountain hiking and fortifications and religious sites linked to the valley.
