- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is a judicial auction (Tribunale: Asti / "asta"), which is treated as a veto. Price €96,802 for 393 m² but condition "Needs renovation" (estimated €700/m² → renovation ≈€275,100 → effective ≈€371,902 total, ≈€946/m²), so this is an auction risk rather than a straightforward buy.
More on the house and the area
Big Piedmont farmhouse (≈393 m²) with substantial surrounding land (over 1 ha) — strong potential for a characterful country home and a clear bargain at the price. Interiors in the photos look attractive, but the listing states the building needs renovation and no bathrooms are recorded, and the sale is through a court auction, so expect refurbishment work and administrative steps before moving in.
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€78,000 – €138,000
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.

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 61/100This is low hill country of the Monferrato and Astigiano, with vineyards, mixed fields and small woods. The area is shaped by ridges and shallow valleys rather than by mountains or a major river. Asti is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, services and rail connections. This part of the province is known for wine, especially Barbera and other Monferrato wines, and for a landscape of vine-covered hills and farm villages.
