There were lots of abandoned homes in my village, or maybe owned by people who were working in Europe. I also observed a new home being built at the top of the river bluff (fantastic view), I assume hands-on by the people who would be living in it. (With cars, hilltop properties are no longer for the poor.) Maybe some builders will even resurrect the wood-carving skills that I suspect lasted until the Soviet days.
The film and photos, including the gates and ornamented tin well roofs made me nostalgic for Moldova.
Hey Nick! so foreigners are not allowed to own agricultural land in Moldova. But these restrictions do not apply to houses or land zoned non-agricultural. So you can absolutely buy a village home or Dacha!

This was so beautiful in more ways than one.
Charming. Thanks for writing this.
Thanks to the Journo Birds team! The reported and wrote it. I think we'll get a lot more great article from them in the future!
Is this something that only citizens of Moldova can legally do, or is it open to foreign nationals?
