Buyers must build a home on the land with plans to either live there permanently or use it as a vacation property, according to CNN. The plots being put up for sale had been on the market for many years, Månsson said. Since the town launched the scheme in May, it has received thousands of requests and the government has decided to pause buying until early August so they can fine-tune the process.
