One of the big problems in central and eastern Europe, although it's
getting less likely as the years go by, is that someone related to the
original owner may turn up to take it off you. That's what they meant
by "successful outcome". At the time, there were quite a few cases of
relatives of people deceased in concentration camps turning up to claim
family properties, now lived in by others. Not to mention those
reclaiming places appropriated by "the Party". Which I was never in.
There are websites dedicated to the European races that were dealt with
by forcible migration during the 20th century. This is one group that I
know of <http://www.lemko.org/>

I would guess the legalities have changed now that they're part of the

My brother's house in France is on the edge of a NP (Mercantour). His house
and land were surprisingly cheap, but it still took several months to buy
the place.

Everyone I spoke to about it over there told me that the
legalities would take a solid six months work and there would
be no guarantee of a successful outcome.
Polish rural land prices are still the big sleeper of Europe.

I hope you bought the farm (so to speak). If you did, and
want to make
a tidy profit, I'll give you £120- for it. It could change
my opinion
about the Common Agricultural Policy.

About a decade ago, I was offered a small farm in a
national park in
Poland for ~£60.
