Renovating Two Stone Cabins In The Italian Alps (v inspiring!) ❤️️ ► https://off-grid.info/blog/renovating-two-beautiful-stone-cabins-in-the-italian-alps/ Would you do this? This amazing video documents the adventures of a man purchasing a fantastic off grid property in the Italian Alps. 🙂 There are still incredible bargains to be had - and Italy is one of several countries that are very encouraging towards people seeking rural properties. There has been a big exodus toward urban life in modern times, but now that high speed internet and off grid power are a realistic possibility in more remote locations, there is considerable appeal to going off grid in this way. Check out the prices too! These old barns need a lot of work but they were built the traditional way (wait til you see the stone roof) which means they were built to last. They have “good bones”.
