I was on a Realestate website a few years ago looking at property in other countries for the heck of it and saw a farm for sale with a house and a river going though the property for $800. Is it that cheap? Or close?
Yes it's true.
I was offered a cottage for $100. What happens is the oldies who live in them die and their kids who now live in the cities want nothing to do with the houses they inherit. You see thousands of abandoned houses throughout the countryside there. If you spent a $1000 you'd get something half decent but they have no inside toilet or central heating and they're only cheap when far from Minsk.
I have thought of buying one,doing it up and running Russian language courses out of it in the summer months or more likely just fucking the local Kolkhoz girls in it.
