This is a judicial auction lot; with estimated renovation €700/m² (150 m² → €105,000) the effective price is about €810/m² (€121,490 total), well above the regional baseline of €308/m², making it a high‑risk auction purchase.
More on the house and the area
Large independent house in a quiet rural setting with a private garden and access to communal facilities, offered at a very low auction price. The building is currently abandoned/partly unfinished with no heating and only partial systems — a significant renovation project rather than a move-in 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€30,000 – €53,000
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.

- Property is in an interrupted/abandoned state of renovation — works unfinished
- No heating and building systems are absent or only partially predisposed (limited electrical pre-wiring)
- Some subunits are sold as ‘al rustico’ (unfinished) and there are hydrogeological planning restrictions
- Likely substantial cost to make fully habitable despite low purchase price
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 74/100The cluster lies in the Roero hills, with vineyard slopes, wooded ridges and small valleys cut by the Tanaro basin. The Tanaro river runs nearby below the hills. This is wine country known for Roero Arneis and for nebbiolo from the Roero side of the Alba area. Alba is the nearest substantial town, with a full service centre and a notable historic core. Much of the surrounding hill country is shaped by vine cultivation and scattered hamlets rather than by a single dominant monument or protected natural area.
