Caramagna Piemonte, flat farmland in northern Cuneo province

On the plain of northern Cuneo province, towards the province of Turin, Caramagna Piemonte is a farming town surrounded by fields, farmsteads and rows of trees. The centre is compact and flat, with brick houses and inner courtyards, and the land around it is mostly farms and scattered houses.

For buyers, the larger towns of the area are the reference for work and services, reached by car; Turin is less than an hour away. The homes on offer are largely traditional houses, farmhouses in need of renovation and newer detached houses on the edge of the town. On the plain, gradients are no issue; the irrigation canals and nearby watercourses are worth a look, and the report checks the official flood maps for the address.

According to Istat, the national statistics office, there were 3,015 residents in 2023, practically unchanged since 2011 (down 0.6%). The average age of 44.9 is below the provincial 46.3; over-65s are 24.4% and foreign nationals 8.9%. Declared incomes are close to the provincial average.

The municipality is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.060 g, a moderate level. With a farmhouse or a solid brick house, have the roof, timber floors and walls checked, as these are the costliest items in a renovation. Winters are climate zone E, cold and often foggy.
