Imagine this: American influencer Justus Reid buys a house for just 5,000 euros deep in the Zagorje forest and decides to turn it into a dream home. Yes, you read that right – 5,000 euros! But as usual, it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. The house was in terrible shape, and Justus had to battle everything from a bad road to no electricity and water. Yet, this guy didn’t give up. With the help of neighbors and the local community, he worked every day to renovate, turning the ruin into his own cozy spot for rest and work.
But it’s not just about renovation! Justus shared his journey on social media, showing how much it means to have his own space to recharge after a hard day. Though there were moments he wanted to quit, persistence and neighborly support kept him going. He even got help from the local mayor who promised assistance with water and graveling the road, because, of course, how else would you drive to the house without access?
This American influencer didn’t just buy a house, he bought a dream and is now living it. He plans to add a bathroom, convert the attic into an extra bedroom, and create a real paradise for himself in the heart of Croatia. All that for just 5,000 euros! Is this inspiration or madness? Maybe a bit of both. But one thing’s for sure – Justus Reid proves that with willpower and a little help, even a wreck can become a dream home.
If you’ve ever dreamed of buying a house in nature and fixing it up, Justus’s story is like a gauntlet thrown at your feet. Would you have the guts and patience to take on such a challenge? Or is it safer to stay in your apartment? Share your thoughts, maybe Justus will inspire us all to start our own life adventure!
