This is being sold at judicial auction and is described 'allo stato grezzo' (shell) needing full renovation. At an estimated €700/m² the renovation adds ≈€188,300 so effective price ≈€242,300 (≈€901/m²) vs regional median €306/m², making it poor value and auction purchases carry extra risk.
More on the house and the area
A roofed, two‑storey semi‑finished villa with a small private garden and clear potential, but shown as a raw brick shell. Good for a budget renovation project or investor buying at auction, not a move‑in home without substantial work.
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€53,000 – €94,000
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 allo stato grezzo (raw shell) — no finished interiors, bathrooms or kitchen.
- Purchase via auction can involve legal/administrative complexity and delays.
- Likely needs full systems (electric, plumbing, heating) and interior fit‑out, adding significant cost.
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 52/100The cluster sits in the flat to gently rolling countryside of the lower Bormida and Orba area, between the Monferrato hills and the plain around Alessandria. The Bormida runs a few kilometres east of Gamalero, and the Tanaro is also nearby in the wider Alessandria plain. Within about 15 km the main centres are Alessandria and Acqui Terme; Alessandria has the full range of city services and rail connections, while Acqui Terme is a spa town with a substantial historic centre. This part of Piemonte is known for mixed farming and for the wine landscape of the wider Monferrato area, but the core scenery around the village itself is ordinary lowland and cultivated fields rather than a singular named landscape.
