Large independent Piedmont farmhouse 402 m² at €89,000; assuming habitable-standard works at €200/m² gives an effective price ≈ €169,400 (≈€422/m²) which is well above the local median €260/m². Listing has many photos and an E energy class, but the high effective €/m² makes this only a fair value versus regional norms.
More on the house and the area
A large, independent Piedmontese farmhouse with courtyard, garden/orto and a generous 59 m² garage — lots of character (exposed beams, big fireplace) and real outdoor space. The house is habitable now but quite dated inside and needs cosmetic modernisation and system upgrades to become a comfortable long‑term home.
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€26,000 – €45,000
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.
- Dated interiors and finishes — kitchen and bathrooms will need modernising
- Possible updates to systems (electrics/heating) and some plaster/damp repairs visible
- Large footprint means renovation costs add up despite low 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 61/100The cluster sits in the Roero–Monferrato hill country, with cultivated ridges and small valleys typical of the Asti area. The Tanaro river lies to the west, and the nearest larger towns are Asti and Alba, which provide the main services, rail links, and a substantial historic centre. This part of Piemonte is known for vineyards, hazelnuts, and mixed wine-and-farm countryside.
