Ever dreamed of packing up and moving abroad — to, say, a rustic Italian village? Now may be the time to make it happen.

Ollolai, a village on the Mediterranean isle of Sardinia, is, according to CNN, offering up its empty housing stock for the bargain price of just €1, or about $1.25.

Of course, there is a catch. Buyers must commit to refurbishing their bargain-basement house within three years, which is likely to carry an estimated additional expense of $25,000 or more.

It’s all part of a plan to bring life back into a town that has watched its population sink from 2,250 to 1,300 over the past half decade, according to CNN. Most of the homes are in poor condition.

“We need to bring our grandmas’ homes back from the grave,” Ollolai Mayor Efisio Arbau reportedly told CNN.

If the plan works, the town, comprising a virtual maze of alleys and mural-adorned piazzas surrounded by stone dwellings, could turn the city into a stereotypically picturesque Italian village once more. And for homeowners, it could be an opportunity to retire to a more relaxing way of life. The town is known for its locally made premium sheep cheese, Casu Fiore Sardo; handwoven baskets; and traditional celebrations.

But if you think you might want to move to Ollolai, you’ll have to act fast. The €1 pricing is only available through Feb. 7, according to the city’s website.
