you can buy whole villages in Spain for that sort of $$ aswell.

13 buildings and ALL need Major repairs.. now depending on the amount of land it may be worth it.

Yeah, but it's in the middle of a national park. If you've got the money....

Nothing unusual,when it's shitty location and shitty condition then price go to zero almost.

If you have the money and want to retire to somewhere really quiet, it sounds great.

Where's the informetion I need. LOL

Anyone interested in buying the village should contact Giacomo Ciapanna, the surveyor in charge of the sale, by emailing [email protected] or calling +39 3384754099.

In the middle of the 1990's I helped an American investor in France buy a similar deal, it was 20 buildings or so and you had to follow strict rules in order to restore the buildings. He turned it into a bed and breakfast with around 10 different houses/rooms. Last I heard, he was still living with his family in the biggest house while running the place.
At the time I thought to myself, who would want to live in a hole like that in the middle of nowhere, but now that I passed the 40 y/o mark, I wouldn't mind doing the same...

probably got some crappy internet access over there :)

I live in something like that now in Italy ;)

I just bought it and plan to make it the red light district of Italy..

I guess I am alone with the irresistible urge to buy the place and every morning run through the streets buck naked screaming "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! OFF WITH THEIR FREAKING HEADS" while swinging a giant troll doll...

oh well

how many pizzas are included?

Just the one.

Needs a lot of work. Probably no running water or electricity.
