Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €395/m², the asking price is slightly above the local €356/m² benchmark, and the listing does not say whether the 200 m² house is habitable or needs renovation. Allowing roughly €700/m² for its unspecified condition puts the effective cost near €1,095/m², though the 1,600 m² plot, garden, parking and terrace add value.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable Piedmont country home, not a renovation shell: the interiors are furnished, functional, and include a working kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, and a traditional fireplace. Its strongest appeal is the peaceful rural setting, broad agricultural views, generous 1,600 sqm of land, mature greenery, terraces, and a substantial cluster of roofed outbuildings. The style is dated and practical rather than luxurious, but at €79,000 the amount of usable space and land creates a strong dream-of-country-life effect.
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€40,000 – €70,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated, with older kitchen and bathroom finishes.
- The property appears semi-independent rather than fully detached.
- Rural access and the condition of outbuildings/utilities 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 60/100The cluster lies in the rolling farmland of the lower Langhe at the edge of the Tanaro plain, with the Ligurian Alps visible to the south in clear weather. The Tanaro runs nearby, and the Stura di Demonte meets it at Cherasco. The nearest larger towns are Fossano and Bra, which provide rail links, shops and everyday services; Cuneo is the main provincial city farther south-west. Cherasco, a few kilometres away, has a preserved historic centre and is known for snails and chocolate. The wider area is known for wine hills around Dogliani and Barolo, but those core vineyard landscapes begin farther east.
