The scenic village of Ollolai in Sardinia, Italy, is offering homes for just $1, aiming to reverse its population decline by luring new residents, especially Americans disenchanted post-election.
Mayor Francesco Columbu announced the initiative as part of the “bring life back” campaign, inviting those “worn out by global politics” to embrace a fresh start in Sardinia’s idyllic paradise. The campaign’s website specifically appeals to U.S. citizens, tying the offer to post-election sentiments.
Buyers must commit to renovating the homes, which are often in disrepair, with renovation costs estimated between $21,200 and $31,800. Renovations must be completed within three years, ensuring buyers contribute to the town’s rejuvenation.
For those seeking less commitment, Ollolai also offers move-in-ready homes for $105,000 and temporary free housing for remote workers. The village highlights its tranquil lifestyle, breathtaking mountain views, and rich Italian traditions as irresistible draws for new residents.
This bold plan targets both those seeking refuge from political turbulence and those dreaming of a life immersed in Sardinia’s culture and beauty.
