DIY TUSCAN MEDIEVAL HILLTOP VILLAGE - Fancy the ultimate in DIY? Well what about renovating a Medieval Village? If you are one of those people who relishes at the chance to get your hammer and drill out, and the thought of a renovation project or complete remodel is just the thing, then you might want to consider this amazing Tuscan Medieval Hilltop Village that is available on eBay for the princely sum of £2 million.
While the asking price is not bad, considering it is an entire Village of 25 properties and adjoining farmlands, you could quite easily spend 10 times this amount restoring this 800 year old village to its former glory.
So what sort of state is the village in? Are we talking a little plasterwork and a good cleaning? Unfortunately the answer is “no” as this tiny hamlet has been abandoned for over 50 years and is why it will probably take several millions more to bring it back to life.

It goes without saying that if you neglect a building, or in this case buildings, then over time they will become ramshackled and eventually, as with many of the buildings in the village, collapse.
Regardless of the price, this wonderful hamlet sits on a rolling Tuscan countryside with views that alone are worth every penny.

Maybe now is the time to invest in property again due to the massive downturn in the property market and surely if you can afford and renovate a property such as this Tuscan Village then you should be on to a fairly good return once the property market starts to recover.
So there you have it… if you’re up for some serious DIY and you’ve got the odd few million lying about, this could be just the property you’ve been looking for.
