See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a tribunal auction (RGE/PVP advertised) for a 726 m2 cascinale listed at €86,432 and the ad warns the photos are indicative/not real. 'Needs renovation' at ~€700/m2 (~€508k) yields an effective ≈€820/m2 vs regional median €260/m2, so the auction status and huge refurbishment cost make this a non-viable bargain for typical buyers.
More on the house and the area
Attractive – the photos show bright, contemporary interiors, high-quality finishes and large light-filled rooms, plus an exterior with character and some private outdoor area. However the actual property is a multi-building cascinale that needs renovation (parts habitable but many outbuildings/fienile/stalla to restore) and is sold at auction, so it’s a charming project rather than a move-in-ready dream home.
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€144,000 – €255,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Photos in the ad are stated to be indicative and may not be the real images of this farmhouse.
- Listed condition is "Needs renovation" — parts are disused and some volumes (fienile/stalla) will require real restoration work.
- This is a judicial/auction listing (RGE/Tribunale) — expect legal/administrative complexity and the need to verify utilities and certificates.
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 62/100The cluster is in the plain at the foot of the Maritime Alps, with the Cottian Alps also closing the western horizon. The Stura di Demonte and the Gesso meet at Cuneo, and the valleys of both rivers open directly into the mountains within a short drive. The Parco fluviale Gesso e Stura runs along the rivers by the town. Limone Piemonte is the nearest ski area, about 30–40 minutes up the Vermenagna valley. Cuneo is the nearest town of size and has a long arcaded centre, services, rail links and the large Piazza Galimberti. The area is known for the wedge-shaped plateau between the rivers and for access to several Alpine valleys rather than for a single protected landmark inside the immediate radius.
