The 95,000 EUR asking price already equals 655 EUR/m², well above the local 369 EUR/m² reference, and extensive conversion/renovation could bring the effective cost to roughly 1,310 EUR/m². The property is currently registered as C2 storage rather than a dwelling; the listing mentions a renovation project but does not confirm planning approval, residential conversion, or utility costs.
More on the house and the area
The old stone-and-timber farmhouse has genuine Alpine character, a private garden, and an impressive mountain setting near Chamois and Cervinia. However, the gallery shows a cluttered storage barn with heavily weathered wood, no bathroom or kitchen, and no finished living space, so this is a photogenic renovation project rather than a usable home today.
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, €1,000/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€29,000 – €51,000
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.

- This is a substantial renovation project, not a move-in home: it is registered as C2 storage/rustic use and has no bathrooms or living interiors shown.
- The roof structure, wooden decks and exterior outbuildings appear significantly aged and may require major structural work.
- Access is beside a regional road, and utilities and residential-use permissions are not confirmed.
- The attractive garden and mountain setting are real strengths, but the property’s livability depends heavily on executing the supplied renovation 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 78/100The cluster is in the Valtournenche side valley under the Pennine Alps, with Monte Zerbion above the area and the Matterhorn/Cervino group dominating the upper valley views farther up. The Marmore stream runs down the valley below. The area sits within the mountain belt that leads to Breuil-Cervinia, and the nearest major ski domain is Cervinia-Valtournenche at roughly 25–35 km by road depending on the access point. Châtillon is the nearest town of size, with rail access, shops and services, and Saint-Vincent is nearby with additional services and the casino. The area is known for alpine pasture, larch woodland and the long-established mountain tourism of the Cervino valley.
