I'm in awe, and I think somebody is going to get a good deal with this beauty! Personally I would fix up that bottom rock room w/fireplace into my apartment and boutique hotel the rest. I would do the cooking and cleaning etc. What great potential! Thanks for sharing this palace with us. Just spectacular! 🏯 ❤

[@BradsWorld]

It is. Just so amazing. Opens your eyes to the whole world and what is possible!!

[@randomvintagefilm273]

04:45 wow just love the design of the ceilings and arches inside these older homes. Those Roman columns are unreal!

[@BradsWorld]

Imagine installing them before powered machines. Just getting them up that hill.

[@Isimud]

That’s a really beautiful palazzo! Structurally it seems in good condition, amazing view, amenities nearby and not far from the unspoilt amazing beaches of Sabaudia.

[@alko_xo]

I just love the way you describe everything. And the passion you do it with.

[@BradsWorld]

Thanks!! I love looking at places and presenting them. Thanks for watching!

[@artbronny3432]

I have to say...I love the sixties and seventies bathrooms etc, those round lights in the "crash-pad" bathroom😍. Rooms with great light, views, love the atrium, garage, and nooks and crannies. Artist's retreat as is👍. Thanks for the tour.😊 And all those Full sized bathtubs!🎉

[@BradsWorld]

Nice thing is you can be you!! It’s a great canvas to work on.

[@yusufabukaarmen270]

Yea I kind of love them too! Love the size of the great big one but the tile is really drab and square. This house could be so damn BEAUTIFUL!

Let me guess - your were born beginning of march or april 1932. Right?

WOW!!! truly amazing property for that price ($209,300 USD) -- for another $100K ther bathrooms could be updated and the garage / wine storage cleaned out 👍👍👍👍 👍👍👍👍👍

[@annedodd5888]

That atrium and ancient columns - stunning. Inside rooms have great potential but all need work. The terrace is a major bonus & the views are wonderful. Thank you

Your welcome. Fun to film all of this great living space. Thanks for watching!!

[@lawilder2059]

So beautiful. The ancient fireplaces ❤

[@lilide2729]

Wow gorgeous beautiful, people don’t realize how strong those buildings are, you can’t have noise from outside, when raining and thunderstorms outside you don’t care, I live in Florida and every hurricane I am scared of destroying my roof. Those walls are fantastic and everything is perfect, you can change little by little if you want cosmetic things and the price??????? I paid for my house $320.000 in 2006 and I changed the roof already. I really love the house and I want to buy something for vacation but not now, I hope I be lucky to find something like this ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤and low cost 🙏🙏

[@BradsWorld]

Italy is waiting for you. When you are ready there will always be great places and people waiting for you!

[@anaanastasoglou9498]

Terrific place brad for that kind of money? With good imagination, smart planning, and vision you can turn this property into an amazing place! And those telling you sometimes that " oh well real state in Italy is cheap cause is in the middle of no where" these are people with no vision at all and will never accomplish anything in their life 😢 cause they always put barriers in front of them, and criticize those that dare to think out the box!!! Good job brad keep it up!! 😊

[@BradsWorld]

Thanks a million!! I shot three other videos of other places near here that will post in the coming days! Thanks for watching!!

[@calgal5752]

Sad but true. I hope they stay put…more for us to choose from!

[@glorgau]

Nice! Love those pillars ... and the terrace.

[@BradsWorld]

I was thinking to myself imagine the people in the year 1500 thinking “Man, we should get some really old Roman pillars to use in the place that would be cool!“

[@mediolanumhibernicus3353]

The atrium and Roman columns are the star attractions. The rest is a little ordinary.

[@laurihines300]

Amazing!

[@BradsWorld]

Yeah! I shot a video of a 16,000 square-foot palace the next day… I’ve been editing the video since. It’s a little overwhelming trying to get everything into these concisely. Thanks so much for watching! Brad

[@finniganyork9608]

❤❤❤ I love it, and I love all the furniture too.

[@BradsWorld]

Hi! And a lot of times they will make a deal to include the furniture! Because what would they do with all of it? Usually these places are left to a family member so they don’t need the furniture.

[@joyce2077]

Thank you!

I love the property! Really wish we got to see the outside 😊

[@Chrisharrison-tf7mg]

I want a place in the country. That being said this place really gives me cause to pause. Well shown.

[@BradsWorld]

Thanks! It’s hard to wrap your head around these places at these prices.

[@redwoods7370]

You have the most amazing properties for the best prices I've seen. I could buy most of them and it's so frustrating that I'm not in a place to move to Italy. Such is life. I can dream. Best to you and all your viewers.

[@BradsWorld]

Keep dreaming! It can happen it’s not that hard, and if it stays a dream that’s Ok too! You could have worse ones…! Thanks for watching and subscribing. I’ll try to keep finding neat places to show. -Brad

Brad, Bloody great mate... Really love these tours. Bet lots of US citizens showing up in Italy. Let's just hope it all remains reasonably stable. Thanks again, ==BOZE==

Incredible e in Una ottima condizione.ill buy this and convert it into Air B and B😮

[@ingevansand9180]

Wow!

[@mcognito]

Nice find Brad!

[@BradsWorld]

Thanks!!! There is so much neat stuff down there!

[@torilea8104]

I love this house, I would seriously buy it if I had the cash. The possibilities, oh the imagination goes wild.

[@markwalker3499]

I love this place, but, cannot do the stairs anymore. It has so much character. But, all places have their pro's and con's. And the laws are different, here fixed wired appliances and light fixtures stay with the property, but in other countries you may look at a place and be bowled over only to find the place has been stripped of everything down to the paint, no sinks, no chandeliers, and clearly the place needs a lot of updating. One thing that would worry me is Italy is a very active seismic area and while the place is centuries old we often see images of whole mountain villages laying in ruins. Being from California and having gone through several large quakes I take that seriously.

[@Selamalia08]

😍😍wow I love it ❤❤❤

[@BradsWorld]

Yea this was a really neat find. Hopefully in a few weeks I will be back there looking at more.

[@mremy8813]

Great architecture and location.

[@BradsWorld]

A truly unique home. That’s for damn sure. Who gets a house with Roman columns?!?! For under €200.000!

[@Sam-gl6bm]

Thanks for the video! Would absolutely love longer more in depth tours of a property like this, super curious what the entire unfinished floor looks like. Also, helps for continuity to not make any cuts so that viewers can get an idea of the layout more clearly. Nonetheless, hyper thankful for this tour and in absolute love with the magnitude of the rooms and the atrium is absolutely nuts. Whats the property market like in that town? We’re there a lot of for sale signs and a new wave of investment or still quiet and untouched. Wondering if we can get in there for 150 😅

[@BradsWorld]

Hey Sam! So it was so dark in there that even with light on camera it was difficult to see much. Imagine a concrete box with a closed up window... The problem with the no cut video for me is that these places on are multiple floors and different spaces, but I will try to keep that in mind for future videos. As you can tell I am not a professional video guy, just a pretty good real estate guy! Finally this is a town and area that is having a big uptick as people are discovering it. Where I live in Southern Tuscany this would be $2 million. But it is always important to make sure the area is a good fit for you personally or it doesnt matter how much something costs. I like the idea of being so close to Rome and FCO the big airport. Then you can fly to Morocco or London for $40 RT and do all sorts of trips to Adriatic cost or Greece by ferry etc etc. Hope you can come join the good life!! BRAD

[@Sam-gl6bm]

@@BradsWorld100% understandable. Yea I checked out the location on google maps, nuts that its 1 hour from Rome, Naples, AND the beach. Better yet, you’re in a quaint little town, but 5ish minutes drive away you’ve got Acre for all your major needs/supermarkets etc. Definitely checks off so many boxes for the wife and I. If it had a land/garden/fruit trees, Id be buying a flight to purchase today 😅 In your experience, what’s the wiggle room from that asking price?

[@jimmydingo7138]

Wow?!!! Totally badass! I love it!

[@BradsWorld]

Glad you like it! Yeah it would make quite the statement home when you were done! Heck, even before you start!!!

[@jimmydingo7138]

@BradsWorld it sure has tons of potential. I just happen to be an Interiors Finishing Contractor in the US. So I can spot things right away that most others don't see. It's definitely built for the ages. The ground entrance alone is a selling point.

[@andreawalser1166]

Love it❤

[@BradsWorld]

It’s always amazing here!

[@valguilla7127]

@bradsworld, do you have this property on a website??? I would love to get more info

[@Kim-J312]

This one is gorgeous, and amazing place for the price. I'm from US , so everything is very expensive depends on city/state but it's pretty bad . I see tons of ex-pats from UK leaving to Spain, Italy, Portugal due to nice weather and affordability. Some of us like the ppl from UK just give up on our home countries of origin. Nice videos just subscribed 👍

[@BradsWorld]

Thanks for subscribing. I left Texas this year after a few years of part time living here. All in now and super happy. Easy lifestyle and feel like I am getting healthier everyday. Walked 20km today between historic towns in Tuscany (and 80 flights!). Temps in low 70’s to start and topped out at 80 at noon. Better than 105° for the last 8 weeks in Texas… 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@ch784]

What a great price for that size of a home. I would love to live there.

[@BradsWorld]

Once you really start to look around the general area, you find there is a lot of stuff going on down there. There might not be in the small town, but close by in other towns there is everything you need and tons of people.

[@attilaszilagyi4177]

It's like dream. :)

[@gerriwetherhold6369]

Beautiful piece of history. This would be a very interesting B&B. Does all furniture come with it?

[@BradsWorld]

Everything is negotiable but it not included in the price

[@marcocarlson1693]

You are in a good business, I mean the business you stated in the video. This place is an exceptional value for the money. People have no idea the absolute total bargain these places and many others are around certain parts of Italy. There is no bad place to live in Italy, all places are good. So when you can get a place this cheap that has at least some of the things you are looking for near you, you are Lucky as heck to get one. I am pretty certain you know what I am talking about since you are working there and are going to retire there. Compared to living in metropolitan areas of the U.S., and for the price, it's 10x better. I'm American but what is true is true. Period. Speaking of people killing to buy a home in the boonies of Sicily, I will soon be in Sicily, hopefully for good, but not exactly in the boonies. Take care and best of luck, which I doubt you will need.

[@BradsWorld]

Thanks for all of that. And I don’t mean to dump on Italy, it’s a fabulous place with some of the best wine around. And that’s from my wine broker friends here in Tuscany. But I get so many emails from people that think they can buy a one dollar house somewhere in the countryside and it’s all going to be easy free living… Well you get the idea. I just like to get real info out to people. But I hope to make it to Sicily in the fall to do some videos. Good luck in your endeavors.

[@marcocarlson1693]

@@BradsWorld Certainly. Well I am sure you are getting real info. out to people, nothing more to do on your side. People who think what you said about the $1 homes would have to be in their own fantasy world only. That said, I think it is a pretty good concept and some of these places can be restored to very nice properties quite cheaply, at least by American standards. That's up to a buyer's skill set as to how he can refurbish a place within a budget. If you do get to Sicily I hope you really enjoy. Appreciate your reply, best wishes.

[@elizabethhale5323]

Amazing Property

[@BradsWorld]

I was just back there last week about five or six months after filming it the first time. It of course sold right away. But when you walk in that courtyard and see 2000 year-old columns that were repurposed five or 600 years ago it gives you a really good understanding of the unique place that you’re in. The depth of the history!

It was a really neat one. So many people have contacted the broker about this video.

[@darenbyers4291]

Its fantastic spot but sure will be gone by the time get over there but is exactly the kind of historic place I am looking for. My Piranesi engravings would suit that place well.

[@BradsWorld]

Probably will be but there is a lot of this type of properties in many of the villages and towns throughout the area. It is just being discovered I think. Watch AlfanoRealEstate.com for more like this. Come September I will be making more videos with them if new finds! Thanks for watching! Brad

[@Italiana911]

“Rocca” also means fortress, and there are indeed the remains of a fortress right on top of Rocca D’Arce. I live South East from here, and can confirm that Ciociaria is indeed a wonderful place, steeped in tradition and old values. Many people, including my family emigrated from this area, and it’s seeing a revival of people coming back, to sample a way of life that is bought down by several notches in pace. The property is an absolute dream, but one criticism is the kitchen as soon as you walk in. Many houses in Italy have this, and it would fill me with dread for someone to see my pots and pans, dishes half made etc. I would definitely be ripping that out on day one of purchase, and just use the purpose built kitchen at the back. Such a nice little courtyard, where I would imagine sitting whilst waiting for the sugo to cook. 😉 Whoever lives here in the future is a very fortunate person.

[@BradsWorld]

Hi! Great Question! In future videos I’ll try to put more demographics. The town probably has about 4500 people living there. There’s a coffee shop and a small market. 3 mins by car is Arce which is much bigger, and have some restaurants numerous coffee shops a bigger market and some professional services. Widen out a little bit more you’ll have medical and major services within 15 minutes.

Hey, I do real estate, I'd like to get into the market in Italy from a Sales perspective. Let me know how to work together? Thanks!

You would need to pass the Italian real estate exam. It’s in Italian and very difficult.

[@davidallen1418]

That is a to good to be true price, must be a catch somewhere?

[@johnsonrepp]

Compared to the USA, what is the cost per SF for remodeling there?

[@BradsWorld]

Short answer is generally cheaper but not cheap. Simple labor can be found for €12-14/hour. I find quality fixtures to be a 20-30% cheaper. Paint is the same. Professionals don’t charge as much. Sq ft pricing is hard to pin down because the variations in work needed. The current quote I hear to take a shell farmhouse (no windows, doors, flooring, some structural, plumbing and electrical rebuild) goes for about €2.000/MQ or $220 Sq Ft. I rebuilt my biggest apt from Ok shape but needing a total remodel for about €110.000 for 2200 Sq ft. $50/sq ft. That included the travertine floors or solid oak throughout the house, a new kitchen, four new bathrooms from scratch with high end fixtures, painting entire place with lime wash, hanging new chandeliers, two new split systems that had to be tunneled through 50’ of stone and plaster walls. Etc. Took a year to get it all put together. You can see the end result on my website for my rentals at www.TuscanPalace.com and click on Burati Apt. Came out great and place is renting very very well.

Do they have some sort of residency or citizenship by investment thing going on? How do people come to renovate and live?

[@BradsWorld]

I don’t think that real estate investment is an option here. You could work remotely and apply for a visa for that if you are able. If you have about $3500/mo in residual income from non work activities (pension, stock dividends, SS payments) that would qualify you. Or starting a business here that employs people is a possibility. But your allowed to stay 180 days a year (90 out of 180 days) without doing anything except showing up so that is a lot of time too.

What would be the fixed costs per year? Tax, water, power (avg.) would be great to have unless the taxes are unreasonable.

[@BradsWorld]

I can only give you a good idea on the yearly property tax. Cadastral values in Italy are set very low, and property tax rates run around 1%. I’m guessing the property tax on this property would be about €500-800 PER YEAR! My very biggest apartment that was many times more costly than this one is only $1000 per year for property tax. It’s insane. I paid double that on my house in Texas per MONTH!

Water bill couldn’t be much as there’s no lawn or pool and water is just not that expensive in Italy. Electrical I’m not sure, it would be a real trick to heat this whole thing. But that being said my total electric bill for a three bedroom apartment and another separate one bedroom apartment was €350 for July and that was with running AC. I think people hear complain a lot about energy cost especially in the house even though it’s not too much more than in the US because people just make a lot less here and it is a much bigger percentage of the income. 🤷🏼‍♂️
