Sicily: Houses for €1 😍😮

Mussomeli: a pearl in the heart of Sicily 🍋

Located in the heart of the island, Mussomeli is a small treasure of culture and history. Characterized by a hilly landscape and a genuine atmosphere, it offers those who visit it:

• A charming historic center, with charming alleys and panoramic views.

• The famous Castello Manfredonico, a medieval fortress perched on a rocky spur overlooking the valley.

• Authentic food and wine traditions, where you can savor the flavors of Sicilian cuisine, including arancini, cannoli and quality local products.

Euro Houses: A Rebirth Project 🏡

Like many other Italian villages, Mussomeli has experienced the phenomenon of depopulation. To combat it and give new life to the town, local institutions have decided to:

1. Offer abandoned properties for 1 euro: a symbolic price to encourage new residents or tourism investments.

2. Set renovation requirements: Houses must be renovated within defined timeframes (usually 1 to 3 years) to restore the historic center.

3. Involving enthusiasts from all over the world: the goal is to create a diverse and international community, without losing the local charm and traditions.

How to join the initiative 🤑

Expression of interest: a renovation project and an economic plan that guarantees its feasibility must be presented.

Security deposit (if required): some municipalities require a guarantee, which is then returned upon completion of the work.

Legal formalities : as in any sale, taxes and notary fees are paid; the buyer is then responsible for the renovation costs, which vary according to the state of the property.
