Strongly, I believe that you did such a marvelous job in searching, due diligence and buying the right property. Not everyone can do the same as you did. You used your wisdom and logic. Congratulations and wish you the best.
As a Portuguese born , and now a Canadian living in Canada , saddens me to see so many of these old farms just being abandoned , thank God for brave people like yourselves that are bringing these "Old Beauties " back to life , as for myself, a farm that size would overwhelm me , as I was born in Lisbon and I am a city girl. God bless you both and best of Luck .
Thank you for watching! How wonderful, I've always wanted to visit Canada. John too! We are doing our very best and will continue to do so as long as we are able. The farm is my favourite place in the world. We will explain more about how we manage the farm over forthcoming videos. Your luck and support is much appreciated! Igualmente, muito obrigaga.
You are such a kind friends 😊 thank you for the publicity! Your cherries were the sweetest cherries I ever taste! And you have a beautiful farm!!! Love you guys! And it was really cheap let me say! 😊
Your property is beautiful! You did good. Love the river, waterfalls, and the fruit and nut trees. All the best of luck as you continue to make progress around the place.
I am exactly just like you: i did the opposite road, I left the big city - Lisboa- and chose to live in a small village in alentejo. It's very difficult to explain to the majority of people that this is what I always wanted. I don't want malls, crowds, traffic, night life, etc. Having a house - a house, not an apartment! - with a fireplace, a big garden, a swimming pool, a big storage and plenty of fruit trees makes me feel privileged and rich. There are of course disadvantages, but I wouldn't trade this for any Lisbon or Oporto. Good luck to your life, and feel free to change your mind❤
@tommyjames789 yes, i am a teacher. There are several jobs that allow you to choose the place where you want to live. It just so happens that the rural life is not attractive to the majority of people, these days. Meaning no disrespect, of course. My grandmother was a die-hard city person and J am a die-hard nature lover 😀
Really an amazing buy. The land is beautiful and the location too. I was looking at that time too and was offered a bare field (one hectare) and a three walled stone ruin for €50.000. And I've seen many other places not even compareable to yours, for between 50 and 100k. So for sure you can be proud and I think it was an amazing find for that price, even in Portugal. Good luck with it, from Serra da Estrela
Thank you so much for watching! Wow, that is really great to hear and glad you agree! We love it with all our hearts! Did you manage to find your own little paradise then?😁
Lovely clear thoughtful video. Love the inspiration you have and give. Love your gratitude for life. Long may you enjoy abundant harvests. Look after yersels.
Great video once again - it's lovely seeing new parts of the farm revealed with each one and marvelling at just how much joy and wonder there is there! xx
Lot of work there. We farmed 800 olive trees in Crete, gave it up finally when I reached 64. Loved it. Now in Ireland, where we did up a house empty for 12 years. Wish you all the joy of it. xxx

@@seanwhite7189 Thank you so much for watching and your comment! We really appreciate it. We also agree! We've 2 other videos that let you see the land in more detail, check them out if interest you! 😊🙏
Hi folks. personally I think you did well. with all the amenities and structures and land use. You have a true paradise. And given some hard work and vision. I can see you having a self sustaining property for many years to come. In the end it is what it is worth to you that matters. Plus it looks as though it is perfect for what I believe is your vision for the place. Given what things cost here in North America. It is a true steal as we would say. "Fortan Leat".
@@davidwhite6617 thank you!! Personal worth is always what matters most! I'm glad you can see our vision and we are glad to have you along for the journey! ❤️🙏
That's Amazing! Like you said 'worth' is different to value. And what you guys are doing with that beautiful place is definitely worth it. Well done both of you! Keep living that dream & minding yersels💕
You are planning to have an elevator in the house? Is possible of course. Anything is possible. But probably easier, to build something like a ramp, outside with an entrance into the top floor. Maybe straight from the road or the street even.
@@petervermeer.4904 It would be our first choice if possible, but unfortunately it's not from the outside (it's too high meaning the ramp would be extraordinarily long). Nothing on the inside is set in stone of course and at this stage it's just floating ideas but yes, a lift designed for homes would be our first choice and long term goal. Thank you for watching and your suggestion! We appreciate them a lot! 😊

You got a great deal what else do you want? Question do you have a forest to harvest wood for the rebuild of your house. How far do you live from the next town?
Thank you for watching and your questions! We are 10 minutes away from the local village! We will go into detail about your other question in an upcoming video so I'm unable to share too much here at present haha! 😋

I love it & I think you got it at an absolute steal! Like someone else said it’s what it’s worth to you, hope you have a great harvest this year, do you get locals in to help pit or does everything harvest at different times? I know when we were in Corfu a few years ago we hired a quad for the day to see it properly and they had nets under all the olive trees so I’m guessing that’s around harvest time, it’s now around £8 for a bottle of Olive Oil in Scotland !!! Look forward to the next tour! Xx
@@margaretcockburn9531 Thank you so much!! We agree. I also hope we have a great harvest haha! Our olive harvest is December normally but this year there weren't many. Still recovering from the fires of 2022. We have had many locals yes, as well as ourselves and volunteers! It's all learning. Don't forget to subscribe, if you haven't already then check out our other 2 videos! Big love ❤️
wow amazing place Portugal, just about all European nations, is in Portugal buying land.

16 วันที่ผ่านมา +2
we need young people that are not afraid of rolling up their sleaves; no jock has ever left us down! 😜 good price! taking good care of so much land is going to be hard work! take it easy, plan ahead. stay strong. 🤠😎
Thank you so much for watching and yes, it is hard work, but so far we are managing well. Check our first 2 videos if you haven't already! We hope you continue to follow our journey! 😊
You could easily spend double the purchase price to make it a decent livable space. To put it into context, I have a 50sq meter granite property in Portugal and I have had to put 40k into it to make it a home. Yes, In comparison with the UK you have a bargain but it may become a financial millstone around your neck unless you have a lot of resources.
Thank you for watching and yes, the prices of materials is at least 3x higher than when we bought. We were aware at the considerable investment it would be and whilst it may take us some time, we plan to enjoy the journey. Luckily we are not in a great rush and why will become clearer throughout the videos. Good luck with your renovation, do you have a channel we could watch? Boa ano! ☺
LABOR, it seems that a lot of hard labor is going to be the big factor next to financial resources. A bountiful farm requires much labor that would require strong workers, do you feel yourself up to the tasks? Even if you acquired the place at a bargain, the costs of remodeling and maintaining a stone structure it very difficult and expensive. There’s a very good reason why local people leave these farms, old age and lack of financial reserves, isolation, medical ETC. Wish you good luck
@@DonAntoniodetucum Thank you for watching and your comments. We spent many years looking for property & land so I feel we done as much due diligence as we possibly could before buying. There are of course always surprises on the journey and we accept that and the hard work required. Our project Mind Yersel' has actually been ongoing for 4 years and over the last 2 years we have had many visitors to the farm and have built a team who are very well equipped and skilled. We will explain more about this throughout the videos but it definitely has been worth it's weight in gold. In our area as John mentioned the aging population is really the key factor, luckily we have many years ahead and we have managed to make good friendships and connections with the locals and try to employ them when able. Finding them is often the trouble haha! We have achieved so much since buying in May 2021 and will continue to keep at it to make our dream the reality. Hope you continue to follow our progress!
Despite Portugal's positives safety, healthcare and climate many UK expats are leaving due to unmet expectations and negative attitudes. Their reality didn't align with their dreams, leading to disappointment. While financial benefits and opportunities draw expats to Portugal, the report found many do not plan ahead so need to be careful before the benefits run out. They may also struggle with language barriers, work culture differences, and visa restrictions, which can make it hard to settle down and establish themselves. The banking and tax system is very different. Maintaining a positive attitude, even in difficult situations, can help you navigate the challenges of expat life and make the most of your experience. See the small things, want to be in Portugal - and see it for what it is, not what you want it to be. You have your work cut out for you? Do you have the fortitude to carry on and succeed?
Ok heres the number one question in my home and its probably manys query. I s there a means test of your finances to wether or not the Portuguese authorities allow you to live in Portugal? Im reading theres a certain amount of financial security you must be either earning or have stacked away in your bank before they'll concider giving you a residency permit. What were your circumstances and how long was the process?
@@dieselmum1 Thank you for watching and I love these questions, they're really important. The options available have changed a lot since we applied for our visa, so we will share our experience based on requirements at that time in outr future Q&A video coming soon. I will include these questions from you to be answered if that's ok? 😊
Great property, thanks for sharing. Just curious, what do you plan to do for income whilst living in Portugal? You mentioned you'd spent everything on the property (which is great btw), but do you still need to earn to pay ongoing expenses? Thanks
Thank you for watching! May I add your question to our upcoming Q&A video? It would be great if we could answer so the full audience get the reply? It's a very important issue so thank you for raising it! Let us know 🙂
@@TheBendyBarnPortugal-22 Yes of course. I feel like many people looking to do something similar to you will worry about income, so it would be an interesting topic to discuss. I'm not sure if you've also covered this, but do you have any property related experience / building experience? Are you planning on renovating yourself or getting pros to help?
Thank you for watching! There will be opportunities to visit in the future so you might get to spend a little time here, you never know. Your kind wishes are appreciated! 🙂
ps... if u ever see a lovely little cottage for sale in village or rural, please do let me know. I also have been looking for years . my budget is very smalll, but i love the land so much, and I too want to grow fruit trees, and have honey bees 🙂
There are never a shortage of properties, we may show some in the future. No matter your budget there seems to be something here to meet all needs. Good luck and keep us up to date! 😁
@@TheBendyBarnPortugal-22 Thanx a million for reply. i keep looking on idealista,, can never seem to find close to what i need.. but yes i will defo keep looking 🙂
Now the financial fun starts. The easy part was the initial purchase, the hardest part is the cost of renovations and upkeep for years to come which will be never ending. You will probably never own the farm.
@@tommyjames789 I guess we view the world very differently, and that's ok 😊 We own the farm in as much as a person can own a piece of the earth. We've been here for 3 years and have never been happier, our fun is found in happiness! There is a lot of work ahead of course (we've done a huge amount already) and the work will continue, but so will the fun and happiness 😊 Thank you for watching!
@@TheBendyBarnPortugal-22 The largest contributors to housing costs are consistently non-mortgage ongoing costs, which collectively are about half of total purchase costs over the ownership period. Indeed, the largest expenses are utilities, property taxes, home insurance, and home improvement expenses. Homes can be wonderful investments that bring years of joy for both of you, but they can also bring on added stress. Plan carefully and make sound judgement decisions that your finances can withstand the real cost of homeownership especially in a foreign land.
I guess the TH-cam algorithm has brought me here, based on my search history! I have experience in fruit farming and I'm looking for a medium sized property, 50 acres or so, in Portugal! I'd also like a large reservoir, I'd like to run a campsite with fishing! The business doesn't need to generate any money as I'm financially secure, it would be more of a hobby! I will follow you with interest!
Thank you for watching! Your project sounds great! It is a country full of many spectacular lands so no doubt you will find what you need. Good luck and keep us up to date with your progress! 😁
Campsites are heavily regulated in Portugal, so make sure you understand the minimum requirements to get a license and do your search with regulations in mind. The best way to go about it is to contact each local Camara(s) of the area(s) you are interested. In rural areas of the interior the Camaras are very keen to attract new start-ups and there are certain EU grants for development you may be able to access. TIP: Check the map of the basin of the river ZEZERE, good fishing with annual competitions. I think the Camaras of VILA DE REI and FEREIRA DO ZEZERE would be interested and could help & direct you. There's no other campsites nearby. Good luck!
Seems like a very good price but I'm not inside the value of property in rural Portugal. In Lisbon area near the beach, in 2015 my mom sold a two bedroom apartment with a "box" garage for 100k, what a bad deal, even for that time, now the price is almost 4 times that.
@@ConstructionFamilyUA We bought in May 2021 and have been here permanently since Nov 22, so we definitely have a good idea. One of the reasons we bought the farm is that it's set up incredibly well so the workload might surprise you. Keep watching as we explain in the videos to come. An excellent point! ❤️🙏
@@TheBendyBarnPortugal-22 we have less than 0.15 hectar now (less than 1 acre). 50 fruit trees, 50 grapes, 300 roses. And it is not so easy to cut it all ;)
@ConstructionFamilyUA we've been looking at these! A couple of friends recommended also but we haven't checked out the brands yet. Do you have a favourite?
@@TheBendyBarnPortugal-22 we use china noname. I think that there nothing from space technology so just use any. Also it is cheap enought for not to worry about it much. But even china made simply changed our lives. It was one of the best purchases of the year.
We have a D7 visa, we will discuss more about our experience of this on our future Q&A video. Thank you for asking a very important question, I hope you continue to follow our journey to find out more! 😊
I hate to prove you wrong but as your age, the zest for living and maintaining a farm diminishes. Age is not a barrier to working, but physical and cognitive abilities can change with age. Just the stress alone to keep the farm ship shape will be very taxing. From an outsider looking inward, I feel that you were too ambitious starting this venture at your age without farm skills and experience. I hope your dream comes true, you are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream. Please accept this as constructive criticism. Good luck in your daring journey, you'll need it.
Hello Dougie, firstly thank you for watching and engaging by commenting. Secondly, for making us laugh. I'm not certain what age you think John or I actually are but it is not something that concerns us at present, thank you for your concern though. It has been 3 years since we bought the farm and I can honestly say the maintenance has caused no stress. There have been other stressful situations, me breaking my back as an example , but one of the reasons we bought the farm was because of it's set up and the maintenance being manageable, we were very thorough in our research and ultimately decision making. I wonder if you could answer me this though, you state you hate to prove us wrong, to the best of my knowledge proof requires evidence - what evidence do you have the we have made a wrong decision? It is quite a strong suggestion and whilst I value your opinion, it is simply that, just an opinion. You also state that a person is never too old to set another dream, why would we when ours is in action and succeeding? 55 people have come to ease their mental health. So far, all for free. That is literally our dream. It seems a little contradictory to say our dream is not doable because of our age, but choose another. I hope you accept this as constructive criticism of your comment. I thank you very much for you good luck wishes and I wish you the same. I hope you are not putting off dreams for fear of failing. We certainly chose not to. I hope you continue to follow our journey and realise we are younger than you think! Haha. Mind Yersel'.
I love your accents but understanding is difficult so if I don't understand I don't feel need to watch.is nice your property .you have a nice start to previous ownership
@@Roger-lf6ln Thank you for watching 😊 There is a transcript / subtitles available on the videos if this would help! Scottish accents can be difficult at first, but practice makes perfect. Regardless, we're glad you liked the property. Boa ano ❤️🙏
HELLO. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU TALK TO 1 SOLICITOR, THEY ARE CLOSE TO THE CITY COUNCIL. THERE IS 1 LAW DONE AGO THAT FACILITATES CONSTRUCTION ETC ON RUSTIC LAND, THERE ARE CITY COUNCILS THAT GIVE EXEMPTIONS FROM TAXES, TAXES ON FOREIGN INCOME ARE EXEMPT FROM PAYMENT. TRY TO KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! HUGS
@@antoniocarvalho6160 Thank you for watching! We have a very good solicitor who advised about these matters. The information is much appreciated. Obrigada 😊
Nice property 🍊🍒🍋🍎🍏The price is good but you'll likely need to spend another 75K to make it perfect. You didn't mention location: if not too far from good services such as shops, street market, cafe, restaurant, bank, post office etc. then you've got the bull's eye. If access to main roads & motorway & airport is also good, then you've hit the jackpot! The only problem is it's size: too big, 22 acres is 90,000 sq meters or 9 hectares. You'll be spending the rest of your life in endless maintenance. You'd better buy a tractor as paying a "man & tractor" will cost a fortune. If you get a flock of sheep, they'll keep the vegetation trimmed. Goats are not so good as they chew the tree bark and the trees would die. Note: All streams or rivers are public property (not yours even when fully on your property), but there may be an ancient right to dam it and use the water. Make sure you don't fall foul of the law. Also check with your local Camara Municipal if there are any grants for small farms. Every municipality has a duty to help start-ups and you may be able to acess EU grants for your projects, even if its just to renovate the orchard & buy sheep. There's also a subsidy for any olive oil you produce, the paperwork is done by the olive press. And another subsidy for sheep. Good luck!
Thank you for watching! Your information is appreciated 😊 We are in the Serra Da Estrela natural parque, within the Guarda region. We have very good access to shops etc and we are within walking distance of a local village with a Farmacia, 2 small shops, ATM and believe it or not 4 cafes. The drive from Porto is great and public transport to the city is also excellent as so cheap. Actually, the farm has been set up exceptionally well and the maintenance is not what you might imagine. We will discuss that in later videos. A tractor may be on our long term plans but for now we hire a local with a tractor and he is 40e per hour and it's done much quicker than we expected. The orchards etc do require pruning as they were untouched for 2 years when we bought but we are making our way steadily through that. We hire the help of locals as and when but also do a lot ourselves. We understand there is a significant investment required to renovate but even if we spend our life doing that, it would still be a bargain to us. Live stock in the future are part of our plans, definitely not goats haha as they're a bit too mischievous but we would love donkeys. Our farm is registered with ADAG and we do receive a subsidy depending on how much of the farm is being used each year, but this is excellent advice if we weren't aware of it so thank you! I am researching regarding other grants in relation to renovation. Because we own both sides of the river we have a license to use the water, but yes all overflow goes back in and carries on to the public accessed parts. I'm glad you took the time to explain in detail as I'm certain these are things we may have missed and so might others! Local knowledge is invaluable 😊

Congratulations, you have purchased a wonderful property for a bargain... Now we just have to wait and see the transformation happen when the restoration of the farm begins.. Welcome to Portugal. A country full of opportunities.😉✌️🍀
Thank you so much, that is really kind! Yes, we love it here and have been welcomed greatly 😁
first time watching, enjoyed it a lot, as for the price you got a great buy you could have got something cheaper but i dont think it would have come close to ticking all the boxes, well done and good luck to you both
@@seanwhite7189 Thank you so much for watching and your comment! We really appreciate it. We also agree! We've 2 other videos that let you see the land in more detail, check them out if interest you! 😊🙏
Omg it's amazing, I think you bought well ❤
Hi folks. personally I think you did well. with all the amenities and structures and land use. You have a true paradise. And given some hard work and vision. I can see you having a self sustaining property for many years to come. In the end it is what it is worth to you that matters. Plus it looks as though it is perfect for what I believe is your vision for the place. Given what things cost here in North America. It is a true steal as we would say. "Fortan Leat".
@@davidwhite6617 thank you!! Personal worth is always what matters most! I'm glad you can see our vision and we are glad to have you along for the journey! ❤️🙏
@@davidwhite6617 Ps, love that phrase! Thank you for sharing it! ☺️

@@libbylong9059 Thank you for watching! So glad you enjoyed! Every Tuesday evening is our aim 😊🙏
You are planning to have an elevator in the house? Is possible of course. Anything is possible.
But probably easier, to build something like a ramp, outside with an entrance into the top floor. Maybe straight from the road or the street even.
@@petervermeer.4904 It would be our first choice if possible, but unfortunately it's not from the outside (it's too high meaning the ramp would be extraordinarily long). Nothing on the inside is set in stone of course and at this stage it's just floating ideas but yes, a lift designed for homes would be our first choice and long term goal. Thank you for watching and your suggestion! We appreciate them a lot! 😊
So delighted to see you back again 🤗
@@martindevlin9152 Wow. That's super kind! We needed some rest after last year, but we're back and raring to go. Videos on a Tuesday evening around 8 should be the normal slot. Thank you for watching ❤️🙏
The price is amazing so jealous ❤
@martindevlin9152 We bought the farm to try and help as many people as possible (and ourselves), so, there's no reason you can't visit or get involved in the future 😊❤️ Mind Yersel' our project is for everyone. Check us out on Facebook if you haven't already, we've been there 4 years! Our first 2 videos explain more too. ❤️

I love it & I think you got it at an absolute steal! Like someone else said it’s what it’s worth to you, hope you have a great harvest this year, do you get locals in to help pit or does everything harvest at different times? I know when we were in Corfu a few years ago we hired a quad for the day to see it properly and they had nets under all the olive trees so I’m guessing that’s around harvest time, it’s now around £8 for a bottle of Olive Oil in Scotland !!! Look forward to the next tour! Xx
@@margaretcockburn9531 Thank you so much!! We agree. I also hope we have a great harvest haha! Our olive harvest is December normally but this year there weren't many.

Lovely property, I like your list of must haves very sensible. We had a very similar list, and paid a simliar price for our place.
@@thefatbaker Wow! Great to know. Thank you for watching again, do you have a channel we can follow? 😊
we need young people that are not afraid of rolling up their sleaves; no jock has ever left us down! 😜
good price! taking good care of so much land is going to be hard work! take it easy, plan ahead.
stay strong. 🤠😎
Thank you so much for watching and yes, it is hard work, but so far we are managing well. Check our first 2 videos if you haven't already! We hope you continue to follow our journey! 😊
You could easily spend double the purchase price to make it a decent livable space.
To put it into context, I have a 50sq meter granite property in Portugal and I have had to put 40k into it to make it a home.
Yes, In comparison with the UK you have a bargain but it may become a financial millstone around your neck unless you have a lot of resources.
Thank you for watching and yes, the prices of materials is at least 3x higher than when we bought. We were aware at the considerable investment it would be and whilst it may take us some time, we plan to enjoy the journey. Luckily we are not in a great rush and why will become clearer throughout the videos. Good luck with your renovation, do you have a channel we could watch? Boa ano! ☺
LABOR, it seems that a lot of hard labor is going to be the big factor next to financial resources. A bountiful farm requires much labor that would require strong workers, do you feel yourself up to the tasks? Even if you acquired the place at a bargain, the costs of remodeling and maintaining a stone structure it very difficult and expensive. There’s a very good reason why local people leave these farms, old age and lack of financial reserves, isolation, medical ETC. Wish you good luck
@@DonAntoniodetucum Thank you for watching and your comments. We spent many years looking for property & land so I feel we done as much due diligence as we possibly could before buying. There are of course always surprises on the journey and we accept that and the hard work required. Our project Mind Yersel' has actually been ongoing for 4 years and over the last 2 years we have had many visitors to the farm and have built a team who are very well equipped and skilled. We will explain more about this throughout the videos but it definitely has been worth it's weight in gold. In our area as John mentioned the aging population is really the key factor, luckily we have many years ahead and we have managed to make good friendships and connections with the locals and try to employ them when able. Finding them is often the trouble haha! We have achieved so much since buying in May 2021 and will continue to keep at it to make our dream the reality. Hope you continue to follow our progress!

Despite Portugal's positives safety, healthcare and climate many UK expats are leaving due to unmet expectations and negative attitudes. Their reality didn't align with their dreams, leading to disappointment. While financial benefits and opportunities draw expats to Portugal, the report found many do not plan ahead so need to be careful before the benefits run out. They may also struggle with language barriers, work culture differences, and visa restrictions, which can make it hard to settle down and establish themselves. The banking and tax system is very different. Maintaining a positive attitude, even in difficult situations, can help you navigate the challenges of expat life and make the most of your experience. See the small things, want to be in Portugal - and see it for what it is, not what you want it to be. You have your work cut out for you? Do you have the fortitude to carry on and succeed?
Having this farm is like having an Albatross Around Your Neck, an inescapable burden for sure. Good Luck, you are going to need it.
You are Scottish I am Portuguese and live in London enjoy guys❤❤❤
Amazing property, you can get more views if you can reduce talking and face showing and show more clips of outdoor area.

@@shedrewthegun Means the world! You've been the most times to visit, so you'd definitely know. The mountains miss ye, hurry back! ❤️🙏
Ok heres the number one question in my home and its probably manys query. I
s there a means test of your finances to wether or not the Portuguese authorities allow you to live in Portugal?
Im reading theres a certain amount of financial security you must be either earning or have stacked away in your bank before they'll concider giving you a residency permit.
What were your circumstances and how long was the process?
@@dieselmum1 Thank you for watching and I love these questions, they're really important. The options available have changed a lot since we applied for our visa, so we will share our experience based on requirements at that time in outr future Q&A video coming soon. I will include these questions from you to be answered if that's ok? 😊
Great property, thanks for sharing. Just curious, what do you plan to do for income whilst living in Portugal? You mentioned you'd spent everything on the property (which is great btw), but do you still need to earn to pay ongoing expenses? Thanks
Thank you for watching! May I add your question to our upcoming Q&A video? It would be great if we could answer so the full audience get the reply? It's a very important issue so thank you for raising it! Let us know 🙂
@@TheBendyBarnPortugal-22 Yes of course. I feel like many people looking to do something similar to you will worry about income, so it would be an interesting topic to discuss. I'm not sure if you've also covered this, but do you have any property related experience / building experience? Are you planning on renovating yourself or getting pros to help?
@bamboozle999 This question, also great btw, will be answered in the video! Keep them coming 😊

Obrigada and well done, first to notice haha! We feel very welcome. We hope you keep watching to follow our journey! ❤
Now the financial fun starts. The easy part was the initial purchase, the hardest part is the cost of renovations and upkeep for years to come which will be never ending. You will probably never own the farm.
@@tommyjames789 I guess we view the world very differently, and that's ok 😊 We own the farm in as much as a person can own a piece of the earth. We've been here for 3 years and have never been happier, our fun is found in happiness! There is a lot of work ahead of course (we've done a huge amount already) and the work will continue, but so will the fun and happiness 😊 Thank you for watching!
@@TheBendyBarnPortugal-22 The largest contributors to housing costs are consistently non-mortgage ongoing costs, which collectively are about half of total purchase costs over the ownership period. Indeed, the largest expenses are utilities, property taxes, home insurance, and home improvement expenses. Homes can be wonderful investments that bring years of joy for both of you, but they can also bring on added stress. Plan carefully and make sound judgement decisions that your finances can withstand the real cost of homeownership especially in a foreign land.
I guess the TH-cam algorithm has brought me here, based on my search history! I have experience in fruit farming and I'm looking for a medium sized property, 50 acres or so, in Portugal! I'd also like a large reservoir, I'd like to run a campsite with fishing! The business doesn't need to generate any money as I'm financially secure, it would be more of a hobby! I will follow you with interest!
Thank you for watching! Your project sounds great! It is a country full of many spectacular lands so no doubt you will find what you need. Good luck and keep us up to date with your progress! 😁
Campsites are heavily regulated in Portugal, so make sure you understand the minimum requirements to get a license and do your search with regulations in mind. The best way to go about it is to contact each local Camara(s) of the area(s) you are interested. In rural areas of the interior the Camaras are very keen to attract new start-ups and there are certain EU grants for development you may be able to access.
TIP: Check the map of the basin of the river ZEZERE, good fishing with annual competitions. I think the Camaras of VILA DE REI and FEREIRA DO ZEZERE would be interested and could help & direct you. There's no other campsites nearby.
Good luck!
You got an absolute bargain there!
Thank you so much for watching! We agree ☺
Sorry, where are from again?
@@rufusreloaded1043 Hey, Scotland! Ps, subtitles are available 😂😂❤️ Thank you for watching 🙏
Seems like a very good price but I'm not inside the value of property in rural Portugal. In Lisbon area near the beach, in 2015 my mom sold a two bedroom apartment with a "box" garage for 100k, what a bad deal, even for that time, now the price is almost 4 times that.
hope you understand well amount of job on a such a big plot. It must be your main job for both or you need to hire local workers
@@ConstructionFamilyUA We bought in May 2021 and have been here permanently since Nov 22, so we definitely have a good idea. One of the reasons we bought the farm is that it's set up incredibly well so the workload might surprise you. Keep watching as we explain in the videos to come. An excellent point! ❤️🙏
@@TheBendyBarnPortugal-22 we have less than 0.15 hectar now (less than 1 acre). 50 fruit trees, 50 grapes, 300 roses. And it is not so easy to cut it all ;)
@@TheBendyBarnPortugal-22 btw you must buy battery garden pruner. It is cheap now and very usefull! It will save you hands and joints.
@ConstructionFamilyUA we've been looking at these! A couple of friends recommended also but we haven't checked out the brands yet. Do you have a favourite?
@@TheBendyBarnPortugal-22 we use china noname. I think that there nothing from space technology so just use any. Also it is cheap enought for not to worry about it much. But even china made simply changed our lives. It was one of the best purchases of the year.

@@annmwende432 Yes, and a lot of joy along the way 😊 Thank you for watching!
I hate to prove you wrong but as your age, the zest for living and maintaining a farm diminishes. Age is not a barrier to working, but physical and cognitive abilities can change with age. Just the stress alone to keep the farm ship shape will be very taxing. From an outsider looking inward, I feel that you were too ambitious starting this venture at your age without farm skills and experience. I hope your dream comes true, you are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream. Please accept this as constructive criticism. Good luck in your daring journey, you'll need it.
Hello Dougie, firstly thank you for watching and engaging by commenting. Secondly, for making us laugh. I'm not certain what age you think John or I actually are but it is not something that concerns us at present, thank you for your concern though. It has been 3 years since we bought the farm and I can honestly say the maintenance has caused no stress. There have been other stressful situations, me breaking my back as an example , but one of the reasons we bought the farm was because of it's set up and the maintenance being manageable, we were very thorough in our research and ultimately decision making. I wonder if you could answer me this though, you state you hate to prove us wrong, to the best of my knowledge proof requires evidence - what evidence do you have the we have made a wrong decision? It is quite a strong suggestion and whilst I value your opinion, it is simply that, just an opinion. You also state that a person is never too old to set another dream, why would we when ours is in action and succeeding? 55 people have come to ease their mental health. So far, all for free. That is literally our dream. It seems a little contradictory to say our dream is not doable because of our age, but choose another. I hope you accept this as constructive criticism of your comment. I thank you very much for you good luck wishes and I wish you the same. I hope you are not putting off dreams for fear of failing. We certainly chose not to. I hope you continue to follow our journey and realise we are younger than you think! Haha.

@@antoniocarvalho6160 Thank you for watching! We have a very good solicitor who advised about these matters. The information is much appreciated. Obrigada 😊
Nice property 🍊🍒🍋🍎🍏The price is good but you'll likely need to spend another 75K to make it perfect.
You didn't mention location: if not too far from good services such as shops, street market, cafe, restaurant, bank, post office etc. then you've got the bull's eye. If access to main roads & motorway & airport is also good, then you've hit the jackpot!
The only problem is it's size: too big, 22 acres is 90,000 sq meters or 9 hectares. You'll be spending the rest of your life in endless maintenance. You'd better buy a tractor as paying a "man & tractor" will cost a fortune.
If you get a flock of sheep, they'll keep the vegetation trimmed. Goats are not so good as they chew the tree bark and the trees would die.
Note: All streams or rivers are public property (not yours even when fully on your property), but there may be an ancient right to dam it and use the water. Make sure you don't fall foul of the law.
Also check with your local Camara Municipal if there are any grants for small farms. Every municipality has a duty to help start-ups and you may be able to acess EU grants for your projects, even if its just to renovate the orchard & buy sheep.
There's also a subsidy for any olive oil you produce, the paperwork is done by the olive press. And another subsidy for sheep.
Good luck!
Thank you for watching! Your information is appreciated 😊 We are in the Serra Da Estrela natural parque, within the Guarda region. We have very good access to shops etc and we are within walking distance of a local village with a Farmacia, 2 small shops, ATM and believe it or not 4 cafes. The drive from Porto is great and public transport to the city is also excellent as so cheap. Actually, the farm has been set up exceptionally well and the maintenance is not what you might imagine. We will discuss that in later videos. A tractor may be on our long term plans but for now we hire a local with a tractor and he is 40e per hour and it's done much quicker than we expected. The orchards etc do require pruning as they were untouched for 2 years when we bought but we are making our way steadily through that. We hire the help of locals as and when but also do a lot ourselves. We understand there is a significant investment required to renovate but even if we spend our life doing that, it would still be a bargain to us. Live stock in the future are part of our plans, definitely not goats haha as they're a bit too mischievous but we would love donkeys. Our farm is registered with ADAG and we do receive a subsidy depending on how much of the farm is being used each year, but this is excellent advice if we weren't aware of it so thank you! I am researching regarding other grants in relation to renovation. Because we own both sides of the river we have a license to use the water, but yes all overflow goes back in and carries on to the public accessed parts. I'm glad you took the time to explain in detail as I'm certain these are things we may have missed and so might others! Local knowledge is invaluable 😊
22 acres almost 9 hectares, thats a good price and deal for that money.
