What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €59,000 for 210 m² (€281/m²), the purchase price is close to Piemonte's €263/m² baseline, but the farmhouse is completely to renovate. Estimated renovation cost is about €231,000, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,381/m², far above the baseline.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely characterful Piemonte farmhouse with old brick arches, shutters, a balcony, fireplace and a large private garden overlooking rolling hills. The roof, floors, kitchen and bathroom appear present, but the house is clearly a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home.
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€83,000 – €123,000
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 farmhouse is explicitly sold as completely needing renovation, with peeling plaster, cracks and visibly dated interiors.
- The garden is large but currently overgrown and will need substantial clearing and landscaping.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 210 sqm, four-bedroom property; utilities and structural condition require verification.
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 68/100Ferrere sits in the Roero hill country, with cultivated ridges, small woods and a landscape shaped by vineyards and orchards. The Banna stream runs through the area, and the Tanaro valley lies to the south-west within this part of Asti and Roero.

Govone, with its Savoy castle that forms part of the UNESCO wine landscape of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, is within the wider surrounding area. This part of Piemonte is known for wine production, especially the transition between the Astigiano hills and the Roero.
