Gangi is an almost entirely abandoned Sicilian town, and it’s giving away houses for free.
Gangi is a picturesque central town surrounded by the
Madonie Mountains. Seems to good to be true? Well there is a catch
off-course, most buildings are neglected and dilapidated.
The
offer smells like fresh opportunity, luring in dozens of holiday home
hunters from all over the world. Exactly what the Comune di Gangi is
trying to reach, breathe life back into this ghost town.
“Those
who will be assigned the free houses have to bear the expenses for the
transfer of ownership and must undertake to present the project of
renovation of the property within one year of purchase and complete
renovations within three years.”Comune di Gangi
So you have roughly 4 years to complete your own DIY dream project. How awesome is this.
