What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €59,000 (€766/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €1,166/m² after allowing €400/m² for unspecified works, versus a Piemonte farmhouse baseline of €263/m². The private garden, garage, connected utilities and 21 photos are positives, but the missing condition data makes the price difficult to justify.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, livable Piedmont farmhouse with a large private courtyard/garden, outdoor dining space, and a charming traditional living room with vaulted details, antique furnishings, and a fireplace. Interiors are solid and functional, including a kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms, tiled floors, and utilities; the main drawback is dated décor and basic finishes rather than structural dereliction. At €59,000, the combination of character, outdoor space, garage, and immediate usability is highly appealing.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€9,000 – €15,000
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 home looks fully usable but dated, with cosmetic modernization likely needed.
- The bathroom and kitchen are compact and basic.
- The private courtyard appears enclosed and somewhat utilitarian rather than scenic.
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 54/100The cluster lies on the flat plain between Cuneo and Turin, with the Cottian Alps visible to the west on clear days but outside the immediate landscape. The area is crossed by the Maira and by irrigation canals of the lower Piedmont plain. Racconigi is a small service town with shops and rail links, and it is known above all for the Castello Reale di Racconigi and its park, part of the UNESCO Savoy residences. The surrounding land is mainly agricultural, with fields and farmsteads across the plain.
