Estimating modest updates at €200/m² gives an effective price of €67,000 (≈€744/m²), which is far above the regional median of €263/m²; the two-unit layout and mountain/tourist location are positives, but the high effective €/m² makes this an overpriced offer.
More on the house and the area
A charming pair of adjacent alpine baite with classic stone roofs, a private paved courtyard and wooden balconies offering open mountain views. Interiors are solid and immediately habitable with rustic fireplaces and wood panelling, though bathrooms/kitchen and some finishes are dated and would benefit from modernization. Excellent low-price opportunity for a second home or rental with relatively little structural work required.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Cosmetic updating needed (dated bathrooms and some finishes).
- Some low ceilings and visible cracks—recommend structural/roof checks before purchase.
- Heating appears to rely on wood stoves; modern heating upgrade may be required.
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 76/100The cluster is in the Valli di Lanzo in the Graian Alps, with high alpine slopes and peaks around the upper Valle di Viù. The Stura di Viù runs through the valley, and Lago di Malciaussia lies above Usseglio in the same mountain basin. The area is next to the Parco Naturale di Malciaussia, and the larger Parco Naturale Orsiera-Rocciavrè is farther south across the mountain sector. Small ski facilities have existed at Pian Benot above Usseglio, about a 15–20 minute drive from the village area when operating. The nearest larger town is Lanzo Torinese down-valley, while Turin is the main city for services. Usseglio is known in the Lanzo valleys as a high mountain village and summer base for alpine routes and passes toward the French border sector.
