The Block’s Shaynna Blaze and Darren Palmer have listed an Italian house they renovated on television’s 1 Euro House with an asking price of about $316,000 in Australian dollars.
The two reality show judges and interior designers purchased the dilapidated home, which had stood empty for decades, for €1 in the Sicilian town of Castronovo, about 77km from Palermo.
The creative duo proceeded to renovate the property with their adventures including the discovery that half of the abode, believed to date back about 400 to 500 years, had to be demolished because it was structurally unsound.

As Australia’s deepening housing crisis forces many to rethink homeownership within our borders, a growing number of Aussies are exploring buying property in Italy, trading climbing mortgages and cramped, one-bedroom apartments for crumbling Italian villas and entirely new lives on the other side of the world. Drawn by the promise of a slower pace of life and more affordable property prices, many are taking the popular one euro home route – purchasing residential renovation projects for just one euro – while others are buying European chateaus and villas through more traditional channels. This global exodus has even hit prime-time television, with The Block judges bringing the movement straight to our screens in Shaynna and Darren’s One Euro House. Whatever the method, they’re all taking on the challenge of a lifetime. “Everyone tells me that I’m living their dream, and I’m very grateful that I get to live my own,” says Kate Christie, an Aussie author who’s restoring a Sicilian palazzo. “When I turned 50, I made big decisions about designing and living my best life while I’m still young enough to enjoy it.”But, as Elly and Imy Domin point out, moving to another country isn’t all picturesque villages, pasta and sunsets. “We’ve had to navigate unfamiliar systems, language barriers and some unexpected emergencies, all while finding our feet in a completely new environment. But the overwhelming feeling has been one of possibility.”While there’s plenty that people won’t tell you about purchasing property in Italy, these Australians have learned firsthand what it takes to turn a dream into a reality. For a firsthand account of their Italian renovation journeys – €1 or otherwise – we spoke to Amanda Nedza, an Australian mum renovating an abandoned home in Lazio, Elly and Imy Domin, sisters who are exploring Italy for a place to call home, Sophie Bouali and her husband Adam, who swapped Brisbane’s property market for a renovated home in Acquapendente, and Kate Christie, who bought and is transforming a century-old palazzo in Sicily.
