Why to buy a house if you can, not wasting time on trifles, buy 70 houses, an entire village? Moreover, the European real estate market have offers for every taste and budget.
For example, in Tuscany, just 20 minutes drive from Siena and an hour - from Florence, 800-year-old village of Poggio Santa Cecila is sold, with the church of Madonna Ferrata, 70 residential houses, outbuildings and a luxurious Italian villa. The area of land, "supplied" with the village, is almost 1,800 acres, including vineyards and fruit groves.
If the spending of 40 million euros is not included in your plans, you can always buy a more economical variant - for example, in the Spanish municipality of Ortigueira is for sale a small village just for €220K. For this money you get a villa with 5 bedrooms, living room and kitchen, three barns and outbuildings, a barn for cattle, 100 acres of forest and ponds. It has running water and electricity.
In Galicia, in the area with a pleasant name Costa da Morte, or "Coast of Death" there is another settlement for sale - for € 370K. You will become the owner of 0.7 acres of land, four houses, several barns, threshing machines, household buildings and several horreos (typical for Spain premises for storage of crops and protection from rodents). The village is located 100 meters above sea level, it offers stunning views of the coast. Electricity and water are also running.
And finally, the most affordable of the options we are considering today, is also located in Spain, in the province of Asturias. For € 215K. is on sale village near the National park of Redes, 11 km from the city Infesto. The settlement consists of 11 houses, barns and sheds for animals, as well as a half acre of land. Serious estoration will be required - the village is in a very unsatisfied condition, even the asphalt road ends 230 meters from the entrance.
Many European villages suffered during the economic downturn the same sad fate - residents and the owners went to the city in search of a better life, and the villages were abandoned.
