Entire village in Spain is being sold for Rs 2.1 crore

Most of us dream of buying a house or a villa, but have you ever dreamed of buying an entire village? In interesting news, a Spanish village that has been uninhabited for over 30 years is currently on sale for 227,000 Euros (Rs 2,16,87,831), according to a report. BBC,

The village is located on the border with Portugal in the province of Salto de Castro, Zamora, and is a three-hour drive from Madrid, Spain. It includes 44 homes, a hotel, a church, a school, a municipal swimming pool and even a barracks building that housed civil guards, the outlet further said.

In the early 2000s, the owner bought the village with the goal of turning the village into a popular tourist destination. However, the Eurozone crisis made it difficult for the plan to succeed. Ronnie Rodriguez, who works for Royal Invest, the company that represents the owner, told BBC“The owner had a dream of having a hotel here but it all got shelved. He would still like to make the project a reality.”

The property has been listed on Idealista, a Spanish property retail website. The website mentions the owner as saying, “I’m selling because I’m an urbanite and can’t take care of the legacy or the charity.”

The property website further noted, “The investment required to make the village 100% viable and profitable will not exceed 2 million euros.”

The retail page has reportedly been viewed over 50,000 times. More than 300 parties from Britain, France, Belgium and Russia have also shown interest in this. “A potential buyer has already put down money to reserve it,” said Mr. Rodriguez. BBC,

Since the 1950s, a power generation firm, Iberaduro, had been housing workers building the nearby reservoir in Salto de Castro. However, once the work was completed, the staff left the village and it was completely abandoned by the 1980s.
