I find undervalued properties across Europe that would cost 3-5x more elsewhere. Currently covering: 🇮🇹 🇫🇷 🇬🇷 🇪🇸 Questions about buying? DM me.

A Sardinian villa with sea views, a pool, and space to breathe.
1,000 m² of Mediterranean garden and a terrace built for summer dinners.

€740,000 (~$866,000)

📍Costa Paradiso, Sardinia 🇮🇹

A reminder that Europe’s countryside still hides big asymmetries between value and price 🇪🇺

Not a second-home type, but still the kind of undervalued opportunity I look for 🌞

For more info, comment or DM me, and share the first tweet if you found it interesting 🙏

135 hectares of land sold at a closed bankruptcy auction.

Starting bid €615,000, roughly €0.45 per m² for hills, olive groves, forests and a 1900s noble villa.

One of the extremer cases of undervaluation and value distortion I’ve seen.

📍Moiano | Umbria 🇮🇹

[Marcel @emra_cc]

Right on the Tuscany–Umbria border.

- Lago Trasimeno nearby
- Train and bus: 1.4 km, highway: 7.4 km
- Hospital: 7.7 km, airport: 41.6 km
- Local services (banks, schools, post office) within 1–2 km

Seems like a historic problem that turned into a self-reinforcing structural one:

Before the unified kingdom in 1861:
• The North was tied into European trade and finance networks and began industrializing early
• The South was a feudal, agrarian monarchy with large estates and little middle class

After unification:
• Education lagged early on; literacy in the South was only about half of the North’s level (or much lower)
• Northern elites dominated the new state and its policies
• The new tax system weighed heavily on the South and helped service national debt
• Capital and banking were concentrated in the North, so profits rarely circulated back into the South
• Public spending mostly went to northern and central regions

Post-war:
• The Cassa per il Mezzogiorno law (1950) tried to fix it, investing billions in southern infrastructure
• But corruption and short political cycles meant few lasting industries took root
• It was abolished in 1984 and replaced by regional development programs with similar issues

I have never understood the massive economic divide in Italy.

Why is the North with its various industries one of the wealthiest areas in Europe, but the South so extremely poor? Same country, same language, same laws and taxes. Can someone please explain?

@FabianoSolana Italy 🌞

[Marcel @emra_cc]

@GreyBearLtd That’s amazing! Have you found a place yet with enough land for your family?

[Marcel @emra_cc]

@Maro2Bear Me too! The pool and jacuzzi are amazing. Perfect for anyone who loves rural peace but doesn’t mind a 90-minute drive to Seville for a bit more urban life. Would you consider it?

[Marcel @emra_cc]

@ShelleySul70445 It’s stunning 🤩 Thank you for sharing!

[Marcel @emra_cc]

@MillennialGuy Love Cadiz. I went there once for a friend’s wedding and it was beautiful.

[Marcel @emra_cc]

Own 50,311 m² of Andalusian land with olive trees and Sierra views.

A 457 m² estate with pool, jacuzzi and a guest house.

~$922,080 (€795,000)

📍Madrigueras 🇪🇸

[Marcel @emra_cc]

@zerotaxmindset Thank you! Do you think it’s mostly for the residency perks, or just lack of awareness about what you can get elsewhere?

[Marcel @emra_cc]

@MillennialGuy Absolutely. Do you have a favorite spot in Andalusia?
