Asking €68,000 plus an estimated €700/m² renovation (100 m²) gives an effective €1,380/m² versus the Piemonte median of €263/m², so this farmhouse is well above typical regional cost. The listing does not state the property's condition or energy class, leaving the renovation scope uncertain.
More on the house and the area
Lovely rustic farmhouse with a huge covered terrace and panoramic, uninterrupted views of the Alps — very photogenic. The building appears roofed and largely sound with garage and cellar, but the façade, balconies and interiors need a thorough renovation. Great bargain for someone who wants a characterful, livable country home after sensible works.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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.
- façade and plaster peeling; cosmetic and some structural repairs needed
- possible damp/repair in lower level/cellar areas
- balconies, railings and external stairs will need safety upgrade
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 74/100The cluster sits at the mouth of the Valle Maira, with the Cottian Alps immediately to the west and the first alpine relief rising within a few kilometres. The Maira river runs through this area. The Riserva naturale dei Ciciu del Villar is in the comune, with its erosion columns at the base of Monte San Bernardo. Dronero is the nearest town of size and has the valley’s main services and a substantial historic centre. Cuneo is the nearest larger city for full urban services. The area is known for the entrance to the Maira valley and for the Ciciu rock formations.
