Staying in Southern Italy there is the village of Sambuca in the province of Agrigento, in Sicily. The Municipality had started to put up for sale in 2018 as many as 17 properties for 1 euro and, after the first success, has decided to repeat the project in 2021.
In these next few months will be available on the site the call to be able to attend and win a property at the price of a coffee in a beautiful corner of Sicily.
Ollolai, Sardinia
From Sicily let’s go to the other Italian island: Sardinia. Ollolai, in the province of Nuoro, has decided to participate in the initiative but with specific conditions. The Mayor explains the reasons:
“Owners of unused or underutilized houses, for whom the property represents only a cost, give up their condemned houses at a cheap price to the Municipality that inserts it in the circuit of the1 Euro houses to promote new buyers who become owners, with the agreement to renovate and use them“.
Montieri, Tuscany
In the province of Grosseto you can find the village of Montieri, where the 1 Euro houses campaign was very successful in 2016 and was therefore proposed again this year.
Unfortunately, it has recently ended but it could become active again in the short run.
Gangi, Sicily
Let’s now move to Gangi, in the province of Palermo, where it is possible to buy a house for 1 euro as long as the renovation work begins within a year and is completed within 3.
The aim is to repopulate but also regenerate the village from the tourist point of view and, for this reason, the call on 1 Euro houses website is also aimed at companies or those who want to open a hotel, a restaurant or a b&b in the small town.
Pietramelara, Campania
One of the latest new entries in the project is the town of Pietramelara, in the province of Caserta, which dominates the plain of the 5 castles from its top.
The town has put up for sale a property at the price of a coffee and on the website you can find all the information and requirements, which, if you think about it, are very limited:
it is sufficient to support all the expenses for the drafting of the transfer act, draw up a renovation and recovery project, start the works within a deadline from the date of purchase.
Castropignano, Molise
Elevated more than 500 meters and dominated by the Evoli Castle, there is the village of Castropignano. The town, in the province of Campobasso, is considered one of Italy’s most beautiful, yet it has been depopulating for years.
In order to attract new inhabitants and to refurbish the historical center buildings, the Mayor has put on sale more than 100 real estates at the symbolic price of 1 euro.
Fabbriche di Vergemoli, Tuscany
After a virtual walk among the islands, we return to the mainland to go to Tuscany.
The village of Fabbriche di Vergemoli, halfway between the Park of the Apuan Alps and Lucca, has decided to join the initiative to repopulate since at the moment there are only 779 people living there.
Borgomezzavalle, Piedmont
From Tuscany we go up the peninsula to stop in Piedmont, in Borgomezzavalle.
Here, too, the Municipality has decided to combat the progressive decline in population and has therefore joined the “1 Euro houses” project.
But that’s not all: the Mayor, in order to stimulate the start of new activities, he promised 2,000 euros for those who open a new VAT number and for newborns 1,000 euros, free kindergarten and refectory.
Salemi, Sicily
Another Sicilian village joining the project is Salemi, this one in the province of Trapani.
The Municipality had already put properties up for sale at the symbolic price of a coffee 12 years ago and now the opportunity has come up again.
Several houses will be put up for auction starting from auction base of 1 euro: at what price will they be sold?
Biccari, Apulia
This town in the province of Foggia is also known as “Apulia roof” and to fight depopulation, the Municipality has offered for sale multiple properties with prices that differ depending on the type.
The houses involved in the “1 Euro houses” project are obviously to be renovated, but there are also ready-to-use houses for sale up to 15,000 euros.
