A COUPLE shared a glimpse into the abandoned Italian mansion they purchased for less than half the asking price.
And while the stunning was definitely a steal, they revealed one major downside to their plans.
TikTok user Jordan Kamelleri (@jordankamelleri) and his partner Emmanuele are no strangers to rennovating old buildings and them into high-end properties.
Their latest purchase is an “abandoned Italian palace”; which hasn’t been inhabited in 40 years.
The couple have been documenting their rennovation work on the 14-bedroom space, amassing eight million views on one of their clips.
“When I was younger, I would have dreamed of a place like this,”; Jordan told his followers, revealing that features such as the property’s armoury immediately sold him.
Now, the pair plan to convert the 16th-century Italian palaceinto a private residence, reports People.
They have been working to renovate various properties together since 2018, eventually leading them to their most restoration yet.
Their new estate was built sometime in the 1500s and has over 21,500 square feet of living space.
With years of experience navigating real estate market, the couple were able to negotiate the purchase price down to roughly half the original listing.
They revealed that they ultimately paid the equivalent of £557,000 for the property, plus additional fees and taxes.
The pair are now focused on clearing out the vast spaces and salvaging what they can.
However, the long-abandoned property comes with one major drawback.
They revealed that they have had to deal with “decades of decay”; in their efforts to do up the space.
But there are significantly more pros than cons with this property, as well as being a steal with magnificent views of the Italian countryside, it remarkably also has functional plumbing.
While the current plan is to convert the space into a private property, the couple are remaining flexible and allowing for the possibility of opening one wing to guests as a vacation rental.
They added that they are also considering opening parts of the palace for events such as weddings.
The vast property has an array of indoor-outdoor spaces, a favourite feature for the couple.
These include several verandas, loggias, and panoramic atriums offering exposure to the Italian sun throughout the day.
TikTok users shared their thoughts on the stunning property in the comments section.
“This has SO MUCH potential as not only a home but also a wedding venue,”; wrote one viewer.
“I’ve never been so jealous in my entire life,”; said another impressed follower.
“People are really out there living my dream,”; commented a third person.
