Mussomeli is a town of 11,000 people, located in the heart of Sicily.

Two bucks will buy you a house in the Italian countryside.

Many of Italy’s ancient towns are losing residents so community leaders are taking action.

The city of Mussomeli, in Sicily, is an example of a place desperate to rebuild its population. In fact, they will give you a house for about $2 if you promise to live there. And fix it up. And pay a few fees.

The program requires that you renovate the home within three years of purchase. You can do the renovation work yourself.

The fees are estimated to run up to $4,500 and you can expect annual taxes of $400.

This just might be a great way to make that life change you’ve been dreaming about.
