What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €25,000 (€185/m²), this 135 m² farmhouse needs renovation, estimated at about €700/m², bringing the effective cost to roughly €885/m² versus the Piemonte baseline of €263/m². The large 500 m² plot and 140 m² of ancillary sheds add utility, but not enough to offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This Piemonte farmhouse has genuine historic character, with old brickwork, stone walls, timber framing, terracotta roofing and around 500 sqm of flat private land. However, the interiors are essentially a dark storage cellar and deteriorated agricultural spaces, while the roof and structure appear to need substantial rebuilding. It is a compelling restoration project at €25,000, not a home someone could realistically move into soon.
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€27,000 – €48,000
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.
- Major renovation is required; this is not currently a livable home.
- Visible roof, beams, masonry and interior surfaces show serious deterioration and possible structural work.
- No usable kitchen or bathroom is shown; utilities and legal conversion should be verified.
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 68/100Cumiana sits at the foot of the Cottian Alps, where the plain around Pinerolo rises into the first wooded valleys and ridges of the lower Chisone-Sangone area. The Noce stream runs through the area and the Chisola rises nearby on the slopes above the town. The Monte Tre Denti–Freidour Regional Natural Park lies partly in the commune, protecting the wooded ridge between Cumiana and Val Noce. The nearest substantial mountain skiing is in the upper Val Chisone around Pragelato and Sestriere, roughly an hour or more by road, so it is not part of the immediate landscape. Pinerolo is the nearest town of size, with a full set of services, a railway connection and a historic centre. The area is known locally for its position between the Turin plain and the first Alpine valleys, with chestnut woods, lower mountain pastures and walking routes on Monte Freidour and Tre Denti.
