What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €50,000 (€357/m²), the entry price is attractive, but the rustic condition is unspecified and access requires approximately 1 km of farm road. Assuming substantial renovation, effective cost is about €176,000 (€1,257/m²); the regional baseline is weak, so absolute plausibility is more relevant than the €362/m² comparison.
More on the house and the area
This independent mountain farmhouse has strong character, extensive greenery and impressive Alpine valley views, with usable-looking surrounding land. However, the interior is essentially a raw rustic shell rather than a livable home, so the appeal is primarily as a substantial renovation project.
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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €49,000
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 interior is an empty, unfinished shell with dirt floors, debris and no visible kitchen or usable bathroom.
- The roof and masonry show age, cracking and possible water-intrusion risks; a major renovation is likely.
- Access includes approximately 1 km of farm road, and utilities/connectivity are not confirmed.
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 74/100The cluster is in the upper Valpelline/Gran San Bernardo side of the Aosta Valley, with the Pennine Alps around it. The Buthier river system runs through this side valley and the main Dora Baltea valley is close by. The Gran San Bernardo route and pass are the defining corridor of the area, with high alpine slopes, conifer woods and pasture above the valley floor. Pila, the main ski area above Aosta, is the nearest substantial lift system and is reached by road to Aosta and the cableway in roughly half an hour; Crevacol on the Gran San Bernardo road is also nearby and usually a shorter drive. Aosta is the nearest town of size and has the full range of services as the regional capital, along with major Roman remains and the historic centre. The area is known for alpine pasture landscapes, Fontina production and the road connection toward the Great St Bernard.
