What can you get for 60000 euro in the center of Frassinello Monferrato Italy

- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Up until this point, we've left the price as a surprise. Well this one, I'll just come right out and tell you. It's on the market for 60,000 euro. Comparing it to the previous properties we've toured through, what would you expect. I didn't expect a huge property in the middle of town. The town did feel pretty empty at the moment of touring it, but it did have some awesome features to boast regarding the exterior facade of the majority of properties.
Not only is the house huge, the bottom section used to be a Butcher's shop! It comes equipped with vaulted ceiling in-laid with brick, while its walls are tufo mixed with bricks to match.
I was fortunate that Alberto with Tecnocasa was able to spend the day with me touring real estate. In this video you will experience the second property he took me to in Frassinello Monferrato, Italy. An Independent home with a great potential for use as a holiday home.

the bedroom furniture is beautiful! This property is lovely, so many possibilities
Loved this property. It does have many possibilities. Incredible views! The trompe l'oeil ceiling was incredible. Thank you for the tour.
Thanks for your comment! I really loved this property as well!
OMG I'd love to see this one renovated. So much character!
This is an amazing property. Yes it needs renovated, but it is livable. Gorgeous curved ceilings, painted ceilings, spacious rooms and plenty of storage options. Nice!
I wonder if it comes with the furniture. Such a great collection of different periods.
Loving Alberto's looks and vibes! Ah yes and the house with some love and $ could be a dream home. Thanks for the video. Love from Brazil!
Thankyou for sharing this with me
The painted ceiling is a treasure. Although it needs updating, I would move right in with a long term plan to renovate.
Even the cracks and moisture spots I find characteristic
It’s now listed for 50,000 €. I love it! Such potential. I like the idea that someone posted below of opening some kind of coffee shop. To big for my retirement plans but feel that if I were younger moving to Italy, this would be an Amazing home.
Is this still
For sale ?

A coffee shop in Italy? Now that's funny really funny! Italians go to a bar for their coffee, so I hope you can survive the other 5 months of the year when there's no Americans
You'll need 500,00 Euro to get it up to code to make it livable, the roof the crumbling walls, etc. according to the regulations. Opening a food business including a coffee shop or any shop is mired under huge redtape. You are better off spending 300,00 to find something to move into that's liveable.
That’s an amazing property. I can see the potential.
Definitely! It was a great to experience it.
I like this one. Looking forward to our spring visit to look at properties. We want to be in the Piedmont area. It will be great to wander around different towns and see how they feel. This will also be important to us. Thank you for your work. It is very helpful.
Beautiful home lots of potential. When can you do inexpensive homes in and on the beach, thank you so Much DauvO and Alberto.
I've always said I want too live close too the Alps, but this house is awesome! Thank you again for a beautiful video David.
Glad to share. Once you start getting an idea of the real estate possibilities, it becomes harder to make final decisions.. haha gotta catch em all!
@@DauvO Have to be honest love the more rustic ones, it's just to beautiful! Lol my personal opinion
I share that opinion
Oh wow, that living room is gorgeous
This was informative,and real without the fast-moving annoying,distracting music and nonsense of most of these types of videos. Please continue to feature more properties like this in this low key manner. I watch these videos and never subscribe but I am actually gonna subscribe to your channel😄👍
Happy Saturday morning from LA. Thank you and Alberto for tour of these homes.
Thanks for saying hi, Alice!
Really interesting. It is so large it could be spectacular, with putting end maybe 100,000, I'm guessing, to fully restore it.
I agree. The costs, I'm trying to get some realistic data and then I will be sharing it. So we'll see how your estimate compares
yes that's my ballpark guestimate too. If you have fat in the budget bonus for when some ridiculous Italian rule or delay catches you out
It is very nicely located near Turin about 40 minutes Milano is about 1h Genoa about 45 minutes I drove a truck 🚛 from Ireland to Italy for many years and know that part of Italy very well
Interesting. I’m a big city boy and I would never live in a small town, or an old house.
I get to see Italy, thanks to you. Thanks again!
Please keep these videos coming! Love these house views! Do you have any plans to go to the Abruzzo area?
Eventually. I'm organizing the schedule for the coming months and Abruzzo is in there.
This is a good home. Lots of work but you can see the potential.
It would also be nice if you gave us a look at the view out all the windows of each bedroom!
That is a good idea!
Ciao DauvO, are you planning on doing a video on property in Ragusa (Sicily) as well? Prices dropped a lot the past years and small fixer uppers in the city centre start for as little as 12.000 EUR... I'd be happy to show you around!
Well I am now! It'd be great to have a local guide!
@@DauvO Great :-D! The historic center is packed with cheap houses and potential, and at the same time Ragusa has so much to offer. I managed to do my little renovation project in one year even without a car. It can tell you about the city and I would like to show you around. So let me know when you plan to head down south (all good except the last week of September) and let's meet up to for an excellent Sicilian coffee to start with!
Great teamwork, thanks for sharing. Keep it up might see you guys next year. Always stay safe and healthy together with your family.
Thanks. Looking forward to it!
I love this home!
I wonder if this is still available? Very very small population in Frasinello but gorgeous home!
From what I know.. It's long gone. You're absolutely right about the village.
Hi Dave Love the introduction of your videos and the music Lol!!! Thank you for showing us the great places! Im so happy to see the euro houses !!! Thank you again.
I love the ceilings 💖 would love to see the property with the original brick work
nice property, love the decorative ceiling
Davo..the properties keep getting more interesting! I loved the ceiling in the living room!! I’m thinking you would need all new plumbing to start...I have a few questions perhaps you have the answers. The water source? Well or city? If city where? And septic or sewer? Thank you for sharing all of the properties with us. Do you think you will go back to Lake Garda and surrounding area and perhaps show some turn key properties? Thank you for all of your help leading us to a new adventure in Italy!!
This would be city sourced. The Sewer should be city as well, but I didn't confirm that. I should make it to Lake Garda. It's a beautiful area. Thanks for making the request.
DauvO..You’re awesome! Thank you for your quick reply!!
No problem. Truth is, I'm way behind on comments. You guys comment so much! But I try to catch when I can
Love the property, and the restoration would be challenging. But I love it
I would turn shop into cafe with piazza in courtyard area with tables, lovely
Gosh, I can see that front porch entrance being a beautiful entrance, with fountains and gardens. Wish I could convince my husband to invest and purchase a property. If only I could win lotto, I'd buy this one in a heartbeat. One of my MAIN concerns with buying properties like this is structural integrity as well as the constant problem with mold. The terrace, so grand and also can see beautiful tiles, and upgrade the rusted metal fence on this terrace to an amazing ornate new one.
Dauvo, how much does it cost for an architect to review and get a blueprint of the property? Is it easy to find / hire architects, plumbers, electrician and masonry people?
A few hundred euro is sufficient to check out the property from a structural perspective. Some architects if they know you'll be using them for the future project will give you advice for free.
Finding Subcontractors in small towns specifically is more difficult, but in the monferrato area, you should be able to find competent people within a 30 minute radius.
Unless it has hidden structural damage, the house is sound. Now, the ''deferred maintenance'' on the property may have led to structural problems in the foundation, walls, roof and\or floors. It's one of the gambles you take when purchasing a centuries old building.
Very beautiful property
Thanks for this tour. I have ended up in the rabbit hole and now totally interested in finding a property. This area is near Asti? I think this is the area that I am interested in.
Yes it is. I have a friend from Asti, but i still haven't actually been to that city. Have you?
@@DauvO no, I've never been to Europe. I like the area for its proximity to other countries. I am a chocolatier by passion and Turin is the Italian center for it. And of course hazelnuts not too faraway in Tuscany. I'd be interested in a small store and apartment above in city, and/or a countryside vacation HQ.
That was a nice property such a beautiful ceiling, I personally would use that old freezer box to store pottery.
That's a cool use for it!
I would add a ground floor restroom and make it a shower
Nice bed and breakfast and balcony sweet😄
The covering is called "rendering" here in the UK. Thank you for the tour!!!!
Are you referring to the red and white stone look? or the 'intonaco' that is typically over it?
@@DauvO The thin covering over the stone or bricks. It's sometimes"pebbledash" over here-supposed to keep out the rain! Nice property actually.
Thanks for specifying
Thanks @Bee nice description
In the U S. it is called stucco.
love how Alberto wears that tie.
He's got style! Very professional
kay6096 Standard work apparel, not even the likes of Google would accept their employees coming to work in a tee shirt
@@LizMcNamara47 are you always a b?
@@ShweMyaukMyauk I think DauvO should dress appropriately, Alberto knows how to dress.
@@LizMcNamara47 je
I love all the arched ceilings. The living areas could be awesome.
$400,000 for renovations and 40 years for permits...Would be beautiful!
Love it..I can see coffee shop
Wow that property is gorgeous
I know this is three years old and most likely long gone but even though it needs a ton of restoration it's a very impressive. seems like a maze, but I really liked the lower level cantinas. the town is actually pretty and I loved the town views from the upstairs. I even really liked the furniture that I saw. usually I hate it. So do you guys who show houses, all have an old singer to stage with? I see it all over Italy. hahah some Italian joke?
I'm dreaming here, but I'd want a property big enough to put up family, maybe 12 to 14 with the kids. That would be if we literally moved there full time. that's the only way I could afford it. And truly I would like to do that, convincing my wife is another matter. How many sq m is that place?
It would be interesting to see this renovated but I would not fund such a project. The structure has a few (and I mean a few) interesting features. The layout of the building is awkward at best. It appears the building was originally used as a butcher shop and the apartments on the upper floor are malformed additions. It looks like it could refurbished into a basic Air B&B type property. While not remote it is outside of the nearby major cities of Turin and Milan. Selling points are: close to the town square, nice views on the two upper floors, beautiful ceiling in the living room, 4 bedrooms (Air B&B) suitable, lobby/reception area on the ground floor, and (wine) cellar. Not mentioned, but it would be nice to know if the building is earthquake resistant.
Wow, I really like this place. Do offerings like this move quickly?
You know, I need to follow up with him about the property if it has sold. He said that turn around was 8 months I think? That area is interesting though, It is an area where people have a second house for getting out of the city and a bit of a slow lifestyle from what I could tell, but I definitely enjoy a slow lifestyle personally.
I live in the area and for the past 15 yearn nothing has moved quickly, I believe a turn around of 8 months is optimistic even at that price
Thanks for the videos, appreciate it. My wife is from Calabria but has family in Albenga and we plan on retiring somewhere in the North in the next few years, so your videos are very helpful! Do you plan on checking out any rural properties or have you? We envision finding a little hobby farm (or smaller) near to a comune such as this. Perhaps a cycle ride into town as an example.
edit: Found a few on your channel, apologies.
HI Cal. Thanks for the comment. I am always looking around, even I like the idea of rural living. My wife preferred apartments before we met, now we've sort of compromised but I think I'll convince her on the rural idea someday.
Are you from Italy? How and why are you living there? We love Italy and would love to have a 2nd home there.
There could be an issue with the back wall which stacks up to the road,hence the damp. Still a good project. I'm veggie but would enjoy the re-purposing of the property somewhat cleansing I'd say.
Right. The best way to avoid it is to create an air space between the wall and the road, but most likely that isn't feasible due to the area. Worth looking into some solutions. I would hope people could look past the history enough to realize the property can be whatever you want it to be in the future. We as people are not fixed, we are dynamic, in the same way as anything else can be repurposed. Thanks Maggie!
@ Maggie Gray The damp can be treated, had a similar issue in a house not far from here. The builder stripped back the walls, treated them with a special coating and then dry lined them.
Interesting point of view regarding it being an old butchers shop,
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Eccezionale!! I love this special house!
Nice! There are too many options to pick just one, but this is a personal favorite so far
I love this place and theres plenty of rustic industrial elements that can really work. I wonder if it's still available too. Is there an active listing?
This one has 'moved on to better pastures'... 😄 i suppose that sounds like it died...
It seems this house has central heating? I can see radiators in every room. This is a big plus
Mostly. It seems a few of the upper rooms were lacking them, but they could be added.
60K euro? it probably needs 150k euro to fix it.
300k to fix it..outside alone and roof would be 100k
@@geoffdundee based on Italian construction prices that sounds unlikely, are you talking from experience renovatig in Italy?
If the geometra doesn't say the integrity of the structure is faulty, and one is willing to put in some work personally, what I see costing most is new heating, plumbing, bathrooms, and yes, the roof. Also nobody buys at selling price, you offer 25 percent under in Italy if it's not prime perfect property.
Lovely!!!!
Ciao DauvO! I've recently stumbled across your channel and have enjoyed your tours! I look forward to following you and wish you great success in connecting people to their "slice of paradise" here in Italy! I have my own "slice" here in central Italy and am grateful to be here!
Thanks! I'd love to know more about where you've laid roots. What region are you in?
DauvO I’m in the countryside of Tuscany. My husband is Italian (born in Firenze, but has lived in the US for 30 years). I’d love to chat offline about the real estate situation! I believe your timing is very good to help people find places ~ I’m sure you saw the CNN report about Italian Americans looking for property and passports as a result of COVID.
Hermoso video, Italia es hermoso. Gracias por mostrarnos este bello país. 😀
This property is great. How far from the lakes, in particular, Lake Como? Do you have a link to the property details, please?
I've just realised this was posted last year. Sorry.
Best Regards
Adele
You could make that property a fantastic large lock up and leave holiday home....
That's a good option!
Hey Dauvo, can explain me what are the requirements for an American to buy a house in Italy? I would appreciate if you can tell us the steps needed to buy a home.
Alright I will consider preparing something. Thanks for the request
DauvO , thanks for the reply. Just watched your adriatic coast video. I am planning to buy some property in the southern part of Italy like Naples or Calabaria. Can you assist me or give me advice which area is better for the investment?
Step one. Open Google. Step two research and spend an inordinate amount of time on self-education. Boots on the ground. More research research research. Or leave it to self-touted 'experts' and get fleeced if you are so green. You are flashing beacon, my friend. Caveat emptor.
This as a buy to develop and split into different income sources could be a good project. From what I have seen you could probably make 3 to 4 small apartments and maybe still have the shop.
There's some potential. I'd say it's based a bit on the community as well. Good thoughts!
Who would live in small apartments in Frassinello?
This is a good point Buck. There is probably too few people in the area to justify a division into four units in this community.
Smart play. I'm looking for similar plays. Somewhere to live but also to let out rooms or Air B n B. Being a hotelier is a risky business but one always needs a place to live so do the numbers off of PPOR play. Other sources of income great for when you get hit with some crazy structural issue or some crappy change in the tax code to CGT, Land Tax or Stamp Duty....hmm wonder if Italy has land lords insurance as well as building insurance
@@DauvO A rooming house or bed and breakfast may be a better use, provided it's within reasonable proximity of some tourist attractions.
The exterior wall cement covering is called exterior rendering or stucco.
Ya you are right. 'intonaco' in Italian. Sometimes I forget English hah
Or Putz in German.
The house is beautiful . 'The area is beautiful and quiet i like it a lot . I like the view from the balcony. The reconstruction to such a big house it"s toooo expensive . My estimate to reconstruction to this house is al least 80 000 euros.
That's probably one reason it remains unused. I think someone will pick it up soon. Maybe not from this channel, but I hope for it
Che bel paesino !
Sono d'accordo!
You should explain to people how you can change the property as in maybe turn it into different rental properties or a bed and breakfast, or rent one level to a care taker and the other vacation home. It might help sell them. Any no no’s would be useful too.
How much do you think would it cost to fix roof, plumbing, electrical and modernize kitchen and bathrooms? Including the cracks on walls? Give me max price to renovate, please.
Really beautiful! Wasn't there a problem with industrial contamination in Casale Monferrato?
That's something to look into. I know they had an asbestos plant there up until the mid 80's. Thanks for pointing that out.
I believe so too, the source was a cement factory in casale which closed in 1986. The company was called Eternit if anyone wants to look it up.
Exactly, eternit made fiber cement roof panels that you can find all over the place. My house has some on the garage up until last winter when we replaced them due to them breaking in a storm.
DauvO There’s a 2015 film called ‘Un Posto Sicuro’ based on what happened and the legal battle that ensued. I have not seen it myself, but am told that while the storyline is fiction, the underlying facts of the case are accurate.
@@ElibelDublin Italian homeownership is always fun for sure.
Hi everyone, look these beautiful old houses are really magnificent but most of these properties are pull down jobs because its way too expensive to renovate. So, 60K is quite expensive. All these properties were great back in the day but not in 2021, full of mould which is a killer, you all new plumbing, all new gas pipeline & electricity wiring....tiur better off starting from scratch.....so the asking prices are way to high......they need to come down in price.....
I would think that foundation issues on these properties would be the most expensive part of the reno?
Quick question. In Italy is it land tax paid quarterly and or rates or is it stamp duty on entry and exit? I think CGT is around 28% there too right?
In Italy most transactions are subject to Imposta di Registro upon purchase plus two minor taxes at the same moment. Upon sale it is 26% if sold in less than 5 years. Aside from some other exclusions. There is also a property tax paid twice per year on luxury property and second home/investment property.
I am interested and would like to connect with you about buying one of these houses. Thank you.
Hi, Dauvo good day. Just wondering if you're going to hit Tuscany ? Thank you...
How far is it from the ocean. Very good possibilities here
Ocean? In Italy? Let me guess.......American?
Of your American purchasers, do most Americans buy fixer-uppers like this one and try to work with local contractors, or do they buy move-in ready properties?
a 'fixer upper' thats for sure.. but Im sure the wiring is up to code!
Any estimates on how much it would take to renovate into a modern living?
That'll be in an upcoming video. It's complex enough it deserves it's own video
@@DauvO Good work. I'm ballparking another 60K on top of purchase as an out of my hat budget.
Hi Duvo.
Which cities are safer?
Love your videos....
Wow 🤩
Love your show. Please keep the mic close to you as you fade in and out. It is very hard to hear and follow.
You're right. I've learned to talk with my hands since moving here. Better a mic that is fixed to my shirt haha
Interesting how in a lot of these homes they left all the furniture and pictures on the walls.
I agree, Most likely due to inheritance. You take first things of value and the rest is disposed of in time.
What’s a rough estimate on how much it would cost to renovate the inside? Fix the cracks, finish the kitchen, etc...
Taylor makes sense! Definitely not looking to DIY or lose its charm, and I can be flexible on time to complete. Doesn’t have to be super high end but livable in a way where I feel I didn’t lose the look and feel of the place.
At 15:48 what did they say that door was?
That door was too the 'sottotetto' which means attic
Can you let me know the Italian court auction website?
It's best you watch the video how to buy an Italian villa on auction. There isn't really just one, but you can try portalevenditepubbliche.giustizia.it/
why many places sold with furniture? isnt there anyplace to throw away?
It's just an extra step. Of course there is a place to take old furniture. You can request it to be removed before you purchase
I would used it for B&B beautiful 😍 ❤ 💕
Wow. Can't believe the price for the amount of space.
It was definitely a lot of real estate from what I'm used to seeing here.
Of course it's priced that low because it needs repairs and is located probably far from the tourist trail.
Why do they cover the bricks with render?
The bigger the more it cost to remodel. What would be the cost to fix it?
Can you introduce a $1 / month Patron level as I find your existing levels are too high for me?
Surely. I wasn't sure if that was possible due to microtransactions of credit cards, but I will look into it! Thanks for making your thoughts known
Love this place and can afford it but probably too late.
Would put some sort of retail space in the old butcher shop and live/rent out upstairs. Yep yep yep.
I WANT that ceiling.
Is this still available?
I will reach out and ask. But you can always use the contact info from the screenshots in the video if you'd like to go direct
@@DauvO Thank you--just found your channel and could not see any way to contact anyone other than email. I don't like giving out my emails, unless I'm communicating directly to the person. Sorry. This will help.
Great video! People should understand - One tiny earth quake and your house is rubble-
Don't worry, those plants will keep the whole house together with theyr roots
Why do so many homes not have garages? Are there less cars there?
A lot of the houses we show were built before cars were available to the majority of people. There are plenty of cars in Italy, but not everyone in these small villages would invest in converting a neighboring house into a garage.
I love this realtor because he talks-a like-a Mario and Luigi - don't hate me. Alberto - I love you! :P
He shared his french accent impression with me in the car. It was awesome
How much does it cost to restore that house?
I like this property but would prefer a property on its own small plot.
Alot of people work from home or retiring and are looking for a place, not everyone needs to be in a big city for work
I'd buy it for the ceiling fresco!
That was pretty cool! I don't often see those here.
DauvO It’s quite common in the area, my sister has a very similar one on the living room and another in the master bedroom, have seen them in other houses of a certain age too. They are so beautiful.
Not sure what the background is, they appear in all types of houses, it’s not just the grander ones.
What’s new to me in this house is the decoration on the wall, looks like it’s paint and not wallpaper, have not seen that before in a normal house.
Cool to know. I did see it a few times that trip. It's really not common for me to see them. But I assume moving forward I will see them much more often.
DauvO Hopefully you’ll see more of them, some are really quite stunning. Unfortunately for me, I don’t have them in our house, wish we did.
I want to build a BnB w/ a bar downstairs on the 1st floor.
What a concept, you can't do anything that reduces your neighbors property value. So different from the US, I can do whatever the F I want, attitude. Something I really found out about moving from urban to rural America. These people out here cannot coexist. Everything has to be their way.
Is this property close to the sea
Not relatively, how close is close for you?
