The asking price €60,000 equals 732 €/m2, well above the regional median of 398 €/m2; adding a modest €200/m2 renovation gives an effective ~€76,400 total (~€932/m2), so this sits expensive for Piemonte. Positives are 6,400 m2 of land, recent roof and photovoltaic panels; negatives include only a wood stove for heating and a contradiction between the description’s “completely ristrutturato” claim and the listed condition, reducing confidence.
More on the house and the area
A very photogenic stone mountain house with a recent roof, wood‑clad cozy interiors, working bathroom and an enormous private plot (≈6,400 m²) with spectacular panoramic views. The property is habitable as shown but needs modern upgrades (heating, double glazing and some finishes) to be comfortable year‑round — an excellent bargain for someone who wants an immediate rustic home in nature.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Access is on foot ~500 m from the public road (no direct vehicle access to the door).
- Heating is currently only a wood stove — install/upgrade needed for year‑round comfort.
- Windows are single‑glazed metal; replacing or insulating them is recommended.
- Remote mountain location — services and shops are about 10 km away.
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 78/100The cluster is in the Valle Intrasca in the Lepontine Alps above Lake Maggiore. Lake Maggiore is within about 10 km, and the Val Grande National Park begins nearby to the west with steep forested valleys and ridges. Verbania is the nearest town of size, on the lake, with the main services and ferry connections. The area is known for chestnut woods, stone hamlets and access into the Val Grande backcountry.
