The asking price is attractive at €247/m² versus about €398/m² for comparable Piemonte country houses, with 1,500 m² of garden, garage and multiple independent units. However, only one apartment is described as recently renovated; allowing roughly €600/m² for the remaining 320 m² brings the effective cost to about €847/m², and the listing does not clearly state the condition of the other units.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, highly usable multi-unit home with a spectacular panoramic view over the Oropa valley, around 1,500 sqm of private garden, terraces, garage and parking. The interiors shown are dated but functional, while the recently renovated apartment, good roof and multiple independent units make it livable rather than a renovation shell. At €79,000, the size, setting and income/family potential create a very strong bargain 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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€63,000 – €112,000
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.
- Several apartments appear older and their exact condition is not fully shown.
- The five-level, 320 sqm layout may require significant upkeep and heating costs.
- The property is directly on a public road rather than in a secluded rural setting.
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 72/100The Biellese Prealps rise immediately above Sordevolo, with the Mucrone ridge and the Oropa valley within the local landscape. The area is inside the Parco Naturale della Burcina Felice Piacenza, and the Oasi Zegna begins a short distance to the north-west in the upper Cervo valley. The nearest ski lifts are the Bielmonte lifts in the Oasi Zegna area, roughly a 35 to 45 minute drive depending on the exact starting point. Biella is the nearest town of size, with full services, a historic upper town at Biella Piazzo, and rail connections. The wider area is known for wool-textile manufacturing, for the Sacro Monte di Oropa above Biella, which is part of the UNESCO Sacri Monti of Piedmont and Lombardy, and for the long-running Passione di Sordevolo religious performance.
