This is a judicial auction (purchase via auction procedures). Asking price €23,500 and estimated renovation €200/m² gives an effective cost of ~€156,100 (~€236/m²) versus the regional median ~€263/m².
More on the house and the area
A large traditional Piedmont farmhouse with stables, silos and pleasant open-country views — the setting and agricultural outbuildings give it genuine rural character. The main building appears structurally intact and is listed as habitable, but the photos show peeling plaster, overgrown yards and some roof/maintenance work needed. Excellent low‑price opportunity for a buyer ready to do renovation and cleanup.
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€44,000 – €74,000
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.
- Sold at judicial auction — special purchase process and checks needed
- Exterior plaster and some roof areas show wear; likely cosmetic and roof repairs required
- Yards and outbuildings are overgrown and will need clearing/repairs
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 67/100The cluster sits in the Langhe hills on the Tanaro valley side, with vineyard and mixed farm country around it. The Tanaro runs by Clavesana. The nearest substantial town is Mondovì, which has a larger historic centre, rail access and the usual services. This part of southern Piedmont is known for wine, hazelnuts and hill villages; the core Barolo vineyard zone lies farther north and does not fall inside the immediate area.
