At €35,000 (€438/m²), this farmhouse is described as totally to restore; using roughly €1,100/m² for renovation puts the effective cost near €123,000 (€1,538/m²), far above the limited local comparison point of €367/m². Its remote 1,300m hamlet setting and the lack of condition or energy details further weaken the case.
More on the house and the area
This is a striking traditional Valle d’Aosta stone-and-wood alpine farmhouse in a remote mountain hamlet, with strong historic character and an atmospheric setting. However, the photos show a severely deteriorated rustico with damaged timber structures and raw, unusable interiors, so it is a substantial restoration project rather than a livable 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€32,000 – €47,000
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.
- Total renovation is required, not a move-in home.
- Wooden balconies, floors and roof structures appear heavily deteriorated.
- Interiors are raw and dark, with no visible kitchen or usable bathroom.
- High-altitude snowy access and utility availability 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 76/100The cluster is in the lower valley of the Lys and sits among steep Alpine slopes at the entrance to the Mont Avic area. The Chiusella stream and the Dora Baltea valley are nearby, and Mont Avic Natural Park begins a short distance to the east with high pastures, lakes and larch forests inside the park. The nearest substantial town is Pont-Saint-Martin, which has everyday services and the Roman bridge, and Ivrea is the nearest larger town beyond the regional boundary. The area is known for narrow stone villages and hamlets on the mountain sides, chestnut woods in the lower elevations, and hiking routes into the park and toward the Champorcher valley. The nearest ski area is Champorcher, roughly half an hour by road.
