In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Large 600 m² property with mixed conditions; I estimate full-renovation cost ~€700/m² → €420,000 renovation + €70,000 price = effective €490,000 (≈€817/m²), vs regional baseline €355/m², so this is expensive for the area. Listing states parts are habitable but also describes whole blocks “da ristrutturare,” which is a contradiction to watch.
More on the house and the area
Lovely stone-and-wood alpine property with forested mountains and turquoise reservoir views and a large private lawn. Part of the complex is habitable today, but much of the building needs substantial renovation — ideal as a live-in house plus B&B project if you budget for works and heating upgrades.
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€119,000 – €211,000
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.
- Significant renovation required in large sections — only part is currently habitable
- Property sits directly on a roadside (noise/privacy and parking considerations)
- Heating is by individual wood stoves now — modern heating and electrical upgrades likely needed
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 is in the upper Valle Maira in the Cottian Alps. The Maira river runs through the valley. This is mountain country with narrow valley floors, larch woods, pasture and high side valleys; the road continues upvalley toward Acceglio and the alpine passes near the French border. The nearest ski area is at Maddalena / Rucas di Bagnolo farther away outside the local radius, so there are no major lift systems in the immediate 15 km area. Dronero is the nearest town of some size downvalley, with everyday shops and services. The valley is known for hiking, small stone hamlets and Occitan culture.
