Farmhouses for sale in Piedmont: the cascina, restored or waiting.

The Piedmont cascina

The cascina is Piedmont’s farmhouse: a long building of brick and stone, often with a hayloft, porticoes and a courtyard, set among vineyards or hazelnut groves. You will also see casale and rustico, Italian terms for a country house and a rural building, often to restore.

Prices vary with condition and position. Listings show farmhouses to renovate in the Alta Langa and around Santo Stefano Belbo at around €500 per m², some under €100,000 in total, and simple village houses needing renovation from around €19,000. Restored farmhouses near La Morra have been listed at about €1,700 per m², and the finest country houses at the top of the market reach about €3,000 per m².

Renovation typically costs about €1,000 to €2,000 or more per m², depending on the roof, structure and systems. We arrange a surveyor’s inspection before you commit, so you know what you are buying.

Buying a farmhouse in Piedmont

How much does a farmhouse cost in Piedmont?

As a broad guide drawn from current listings, a cascina to renovate often costs €300–700 per m² (frequently €40,000–250,000 in total), while restored farmhouses tend to run €1,000–1,800 per m², with premium vineyard-view homes at €3,000 or more. Treat these as indications, not valuations.

What is the difference between a cascina, a casale and a rustico?

A cascina is the traditional Piedmontese farmhouse, usually with outbuildings around a courtyard. Casale is a general Italian word for a country house; rustico usually means a rural building, often to be restored or converted.

Are there tax incentives for renovating?

In 2026 Italy’s renovation bonuses give a deduction of 50% for a main home and 36% for second homes, on up to €96,000 per unit over ten years. They reduce Italian income tax, so they mainly help buyers who pay tax in Italy.
