See what needs doing and what each job costs
300 m2 farmhouse at EUR98k with an estimated renovation cost of EUR700/m2 yields an effective price ≈ EUR1,027/m2 (total ≈ EUR308k), far above the local median of EUR260/m2. The property has 32 photos and a panoramic Monferrato location, but the heavy restoration needed makes this an overpriced project for the area.
More on the house and the area
Lovely, solid farmhouse with an intact roof, large courtyard and 9,000 m² of land overlooking the rolling Monferrato vineyards — a genuine panoramic setting. Interior is usable but dated and requires renovation; excellent bargain for someone wanting a character home with space to add a pool/garden.
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€59,000 – €105,000
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.

The area around
Location score 72/100This is in the vine-covered hills between Asti and the Belbo valley, in the transition between Monferrato and the Langhe. The Tanaro river valley lies nearby to the south-west. Nizza Monferrato is the nearest town of some size, with everyday services and a substantial historic centre; Asti is the larger city in the wider area. The landscape around Montegrosso d'Asti is known for vineyards and wine production, including the Barbera area around Nizza. Parts of the wider Monferrato vineyard landscape have UNESCO World Heritage status, and this area sits within that wine-country setting.
