At €100,000 for 193 m² (€518/m²), major restoration could add about €1,100/m², bringing the estimated all-in cost to roughly €1,618/m² versus a local sub-€100k farmhouse median of €263/m². The 3,000 m² grounds and proximity to Piozzo are attractive, but the extensive works and very large price gap outweigh them.
More on the house and the area
This is an authentic Piedmontese farmhouse with attractive old brickwork, traditional timber-and-tile roofs, vaulted ceilings, parquet floors, and around 3,000 sqm of land. However, the property is a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in home: the former stable and hayloft are raw, interiors are dated, and key modern facilities are not evident.
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€77,000 – €113,000
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 property is explicitly sold as needing renovation, with visibly rough agricultural spaces, worn finishes, and no modern kitchen shown.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a large 193 sqm house with many rooms.
- The roof structure and utilities should be professionally checked before purchase.
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.
