Wow love this video!! Portugal the house, land and lifestyle is just fab, I am UK 61 years of age recovering from breast cancer all the plans I had for retirement my whole way of thinking/life is definitely changing.
This was a great video topic, surely of interest to many of your viewers. I like Eveline, clearly an independent and go get lady. 50000E is just over £42000. Seems good value to me as the house is liveable with a couple of good stone outbuildings and there is enough land to produce a good amount of home grown food. When you look at all the work and money that has gone into some of the Portugal off-grid buildings, seems like a good option, a lovely location and perhaps near enough to amenities? I am guessing if Eveline is going to convert to two units then she could let one as air b&b and draw an income.
Wow this is the kind of farm I like , not to big not too small with a view and what looks like very habitable buildings, and bonus near Castillo Branco…wow!
🙋hi from Scotland wow well done Eveline she is amazing she will have her lovly home 🏠 you and running in no time I grow all my own veggies and I am sure she will have an amazing crops once she is there longer she has done so well in such a short time stay safe Anne Scott from Scotland
I admire people like Evelyn who put it into their mind to make a move such as hers. I was born in Portugal and left as a child. I want to return at some point but I'm held back because of family in 🇨🇦. I hope to at least spend half a year at a time in Portugal in the not so distant future. 🙏 Time will tell. Best of luck to Evelyn.
@Nadine, your aunt has purchased a great property and she will enjoy living there. I hope you get to visit and also enjoy life there. All the fruit trees are fantastic. Blessings.
HI, my wife and I enjoyed this video. Eveline has a great property! Wonderful piece of land with potential and views. Loved the grapes "ramada" over the courtyard, provides a nice shade in the hot summer. Keep your videos coming!
Hi-ya Luise =) , just recently found your channel and I'm enjoying your vlogs. Often times Portugal coverage consists mainly of the two big cities, so I'm glad you're showing us other parts of the beautiful country. While on my Google quest, I read that purslane while high in nutrition for humans, it is toxic for cats, just in case, I wanted to pass it along to Eveline as she has cats at home. Her new home looks wonderful: the views and the new adventure with the renovations. Cheers =)
Wow what a great property and land, look at those views, she is an inspiration to us all and will have this property in ship shape condition in no time at all.
Evelyn well done. Just think no more heating bills, stress, traffic and all the other crap that makes up life experience in the more 'evolved' countries of the northern hemisphere. Congratulations.
Thanks for this discussion and tour. What a nice person and great property. It's more of a job than I hope to take on but it will be a great place with their ideas and effort. Alex
Luise, obrigada. Eveline is so lovely and what a terrific property. She has her work cut out for her, but those views, those trees…. Are worth it! I couldn’t understand what nutrient she said that the Purslane is high in?
Wow, what a brave woman. Do you know who is going to do the renovations? A part of me would love to live a similar lifestyle with lots of fruit trees, have some chickens and a vegetable garden. On the other hand, I am what one would labeled as high maintenance🤣 I am afraid of most creepy crawlers and mosquitoes would eat me to my death. I can only only live vicariously by looking at these videos. Thanks for sharing!
I had a hard time finding a builder, but I found now a local builder who going to do it. Slight different plan though. I will have an indoor staircase, bathroom upstairs and the shed next door will have another bathroom and kitchen and dining room. The problem was the water supply and waste.
I think that place is already lovely! Be marvellous to see what Eveline does with it... Inspirational! Me and my partner (yeah, I know 'my partner and I' blahdy blah 😁) are not there yet but in our heads we are... Good to see the more mature amongst us (I include myself in that) going for it! Lovely... Subscribed!
What a nice place to live. Love the view from the window. Eveline heel veel succes met je plannen, dat wordt echt wel een prachtig stekje. En meteen al een moestuin met diverse koolsoorten en postelein voor lekkere soep of gewoon gestoofd. Geniet van het leven in Portugal.
Dankje wel. Dit keer heb ik gebruik gemaakt van gekochte jonge plantjes, maar normaal gesproken zaai ik alles. Ik heb intussen nog meer geplant. Oa spruitjes, kohlrabi en Boerekool
Hello, great interview, what a lovely lady and I love her farm I’m quite impressed with her. I especially love all the fruit trees. I think it’s a wonderful project to have. Thanks!💕👍
Loving your journeys! We are building a house from total scratch after buying a small plot of land in the Serra de Aire e Candeeiros in a small village. It seems to be totally different to most others who were renovating. We decided it was less of a risk to a tight budget and gave us the chance to design a house that fit us. We have a really good friend who is the architect and construction lead and speaks perfect English. It was a win-win for us. It’s taken a while to get here where the plans have been submitted and approved, and hopefully it will get underway when we return home from the U.K. next month. It’s going to be an interesting journey for us and we hope to record it all for posterity! Keep the great work up, and I hope you find your dream house too xx
@@Solo50plus we certainly want to show it. Not much on TH-cam when you search for new builds in Portugal. We get back in a couple of weeks and I will probably do one about how we started off and how we used a geo-portal on our municipalities web site to check the feasibility of getting planning for our house. It has surprisingly been relatively quick, but perhaps it is because we want to showcase how a super insulated modern house built using sustainable materials and heated and powered economically, and yet blends in to the environment IS possible. We were lucky knowing an architect that understands our needs and helped us on our journey. But if we can do it…
Thank you so much Luise for this exceptionally inspiring vlog 👍 Hi Eveline you have landed yourself a beautiful home, land and views … a magnificent project which will be such a pleasure to renovate over the next few years … it is so inspiring to see women just pursuing their dreams and doing it … well done ! … I really hope I get the opportunity to meet up with you when I next go to Portugal. I wish you every success in this project… if you are ever looking a volunteer to come help - I’m your woman, there is still a bit of work in these old bones ! I send you both love, light, happiness, health, positivity and peace … 🙏☘️😘
@@evelinebronsveld1559 Thank you … not sure when I’ll get back to Portugal, I’ve still to tie up lose ends in Spain in November … and I’ve still got some work commitments back in UK … I’m counting the days !

Portugal's Dirty Little Secret: I am sitting at a cafe in Tavira overhearing a conversation between two young women. One just came to Portugal to take care of her grandmother who was assaulted and robbed by the small Tavira Real Estate Agency she was renting her apartment from. I am hearing more and more of these attacks on retirees coming to Portugal during the last year. I no longer go near any small real estate agency in Portugal. I have heard of similar incidents where retirees have been attacked east of Albufeira in areas like Quarteria and Olhao. I only use the large reputable companies. I guess that should be the case with most businesses today. I hope this practice doesn't spread to other parts of Portugal.
"Who was assaulted and robbed by the small Tavira Real Estate Agency she was renting her apartment from" Are you saying an employee of a real estate agency assaulted an old lady that rents from them? Wasn't he masked? If he was masked, then how does she know he's from the agengy? If he wasn't masked, how dumb will he be to assault her and get recognised? That doesn't make sense. Unless if you're working for a large real estate company and trying to get rid of the competition with bullshit comments.
¡You have got a subscriber from Argentina (Tigre near Buenos Aires)! I´m an older adult, now a widower, with a Schengen passport, plans for Coimbra & Madeira, & tempted by the low prices of the Castelo Branco surroundings throug the very nice TH-cam videos of "Luís Baptista - Agente Imobiliáro". I even had a house & a BMW car in a very good neighborhood in Hamburg, which I sold in 1985, after marrying in Argentina. Why Portugal? It´s an "allied" neutral country... Greetings. 🙂
A bit of work and it'll look fab. Nice sized land - that's what we're looking for eventually (if we ever make it there). Don't understand the Portuguese house layouts though! 😊
This is a little bitter sweet for me, as I fixated on this actual property a few weeks ago and meant to go see it in September but I was too slow 😟I wish Eveline the very best, it looks just as I imagined and I'm sure she'll make a beautiful home out of it
@@evelinebronsveld1559 Hi Eveline, it was just the weirdest thing to see it in a video, I recognised it 10 seconds in. They had it up a long time after you'd probably bought it. Beautiful place and would be great to see your renovation progress if you can get Luise back in the future.
Hello Luise, of course i had seen this video (day before yesterday even) already. Very inspiring Lady to wich i could speak dutch when in Portugal :P. Still looking forward to see the woman that decided to buy a farm when her kids asked her to move in...i assume it is not her in this video :).
@@Quinta-Entre-Aguas Oh okay. I didn't have the comments coming up for me while on the live. You may have missed also that Carl said he's going to have her on. So you'll get the full story one morning very soon :)
Oh wow. Well done 👍🏻 I drove from London to Portugal towing my two ponies in a trailer and my cat and dog in the car to move here. So if you want to come see me I’d love to chat with you xx I’m building up my overgrown land from scratch all on my own xx
Hi been following for a while, what a calm lady I bet there nothing beyond her totally inspiring. I have a question though you mentioned tax numbers I got mine through our solicitor as I am in the UK and was in the process of buying a property could you explain why that was a problem and what I should be awere of. Thanks a now slightly concerned martin.
Trying to change your address was a nightmare (Vlog #12). Just make sure you get registered on the financas portal now while you are still at your UK address. That's where they will send your password. There is also a very easy way to do it (how I did it in the end)...but for some reason they like to keep that a secret and pretend like it's not an option!
So exciting! I would love to be in the country and doing dishes looking at that view! Can you hire someone to build a brand new home on the land or restore the house?
Lovely plot of land and ditto house. Also curious how did she end up in Scotland. What did she do that she can retire so early. I want to do this too! Wouldn't be alone alone but my boyfriend is disabled so would have to do everything alone.
I emigrated to Scotland in 2005, working in the NHS as a respiratory physiologist. (technician) In 2010 I started working as a locum all over the UK and saved up. I used my savings to retire early and being able to buy this property.
@@zequinha3423 you are never too late to follow your dream it just means that you need a little more money to renovate as you are unable to do a lot yourself
@@evelinebronsveld1559 you right there but sometimes renovation costs more than the property itself; I have a lovely flat in Gouveia where I've moved less than a year ago but still dream of having a small plot of land with an old house in our area (Beira Alta/Serra da Estrela)
Hi guy's fab video. Can I ask how much you have been quoted for your new septic tank. It is on my list and it would be very helpful to have some idea of what the cost might be. Thank you.
UK nif is ok if you live with someone and you trust them to open your mail while you're in Portugal. I could use my parents place, and that's probably what I'll do, eventually.
Yeas i would but now i cant go to portugal.with all the covid. I may come next year is there a place or b and be i can stay for a month so i can look around.thanks
evelin, could you tell us how big is your land and how much does it cost it more or less. only if you are happy to tell us please very beatiful and.also good for the health. thank you.
Puslane is an EXCELLENT food for people and animals, and the fact it grows so well there is a bonus. It grows as a weed in SoCal, (our weather is very similar to Central Portugal). That is amazing to have a field of purslane!!!
Terrific❣ So good of Eveline and you to discuss her experience and tour her property. It is exciting to see here how many people are inspired and more emboldened to make their move to your new homeland. Eveline is amazing as is the property she selected with its own food forest that she's adding to and enhancing. Her view of the mountains are gorgeous ~ is it the Gardunha? Wow, purslane is good stuff! Thank you for this, Luise❣
@@Solo50plus I was guessing, bc Eveline's near Fundao, if she shared a view of the Gardunha with Farmer for Fun or with OKportugal and the Sierra Estrella... no big, just curious 😊. I'm among those interested in your speaking with Eveline again if that's in your plans. Thanks for your reply, Luise❣ Love your honest, insightful, and lovely vlogs and ☆your☆ journey (no need to compare our own with others😉)! Thanks for all you do 💖.
Hi love ur real life down to earth videos...I have always wanted to live in spain or Portugal but by the time i have come around to do it BRIXIT happened so we have been stock n cant move out of the uk as yet dou to heath reason my husband is a long term diabetic n has heart problems thats why we wanted live somewhere out of the uk.. But we're still thinking of moving to portugal..How can i get nif number when I'm still here in the uk please..any help or advice from someone that has already done this will be much welcome. Thanks Parvin
You can still travel and move to Portugal. It may not be as easy but it is still possible. I suggest going onto the expats site for info on the niff (the link is in the description) you’ll get plenty advice and help there. Or just use a search engine and you will find lots if info on that. This may also help th-cam.com/video/50Zv1E2sjws/w-d-xo.html
Well if your Portougise aint good you have to buy a book and make a half hour lesson every day. Just by saying it aint good, it wont be getting better I guess
@@shasasser Thank you for your feedback Asabi. Quite a few people have said the same... Max is out voted. Can't please all the people all of the time! 😊

For sure. That's the plan :)
Such courage ! Bravo!
She's great the way she just goes for it :)
You go Eveline , great project. Would love to see the progress
I agree Dennis. It would be great to return if she will have us all again :)
Oh my goodness all those mature olive trees and fruit trees and purslane field...incredible
The advantages of buying property in Portugal. 😊
This was a great video topic, surely of interest to many of your viewers. I like Eveline, clearly an independent and go get lady.

Hopefully she will have us back Noddy and we can find out how she uses the place :)
Love it ... what an inspirational video
She's a go-getter for sure. No hanging about!
Wow, what a wonderful property!! Evelyn seems like the kind of lady who will soon have the place ship shape. Great vlog x
Hope so...it's going to be great to see the progress.
The fruit on the prickly pear cactus is delicious and very healthful.
Can't wait to try it :)
Hi from Atlanta, GA. From someone that is dreaming and waiting anxiously to move to Portugal! I’m bring my tool bag with me!
Great...have you got long to wait?
I envy her. This is a beautiful spot. Well done!
It certainly is Victoria.
Prachtige plek Eveline!
🏡🥰
Wow this is the kind of farm I like , not to big not too small with a view and what looks like very habitable buildings, and bonus near Castillo Branco…wow!
It's more of a house with a big garden!
Hi just to say all the best. Great video and a nice home. Take care
Thanks James.
Great interview!

It is a great place and the condition is pretty good. With a bit of work it will be fantastic.

It's never nice to hear of people getting ripped-off. I think people confuse Portugal with the fact that it has low crime not no crime.
"Who was assaulted and robbed by the small Tavira Real Estate Agency she was renting her apartment from"
Are you saying an employee of a real estate agency assaulted an old lady that rents from them?
Wasn't he masked?

@@Solo50plus i did mention Cindy, but never heard or read a repky that it was her. Good to finally know...lol
@@Quinta-Entre-Aguas Oh okay. I didn't have the comments coming up for me while on the live. You may have missed also that Carl said he's going to have her on. So you'll get the full story one morning very soon :)
Oh wow. Well done 👍🏻 I drove from London to Portugal towing my two ponies in a trailer and my cat and dog in the car to move here. So if you want to come see me I’d love to chat with you xx I’m building up my overgrown land from scratch all on my own xx
That's amazing. Good on you what a drive.
@@Solo50plus yep it was lol everyone thought I was mad at age 50 to drive so far on my own lol 😂
Hi been following for a while, what a calm lady I bet there nothing beyond her totally inspiring.
I have a question though you mentioned tax numbers I got mine through our solicitor as I am in the UK and was in the process of buying a property could you explain why that was a problem and what I should be awere of.
Thanks a now slightly concerned martin.
Trying to change your address was a nightmare (Vlog #12). Just make sure you get registered on the financas portal now while you are still at your UK address. That's where they will send your password. There is also a very easy way to do it (how I did it in the end)...but for some reason they like to keep that a secret and pretend like it's not an option!
So exciting! I would love to be in the country and doing dishes looking at that view! Can you hire someone to build a brand new home on the land or restore the house?
For sure they have builders and contractors here in Portugal! You would need planning though if it's more than a like-for-like renovation.
a place that that in California would be millions. Love it, Did she say less then 50K
I know same in the UK!! Yes she did.
Lovely plot of land and ditto house. Also curious how did she end up in Scotland. What did she do that she can retire so early. I want to do this too! Wouldn't be alone alone but my boyfriend is disabled so would have to do everything alone.
I emigrated to Scotland in 2005, working in the NHS as a respiratory physiologist. (technician) In 2010 I started working as a locum all over the UK and saved up. I used my savings to retire early and being able to buy this property.
Like many of lots of forward planing, hard work, saving and sacrifice 😊
@@evelinebronsveld1559 Ah, dank je wel.
...well done Evelyn; wish I had the guts to do it...
Feel the fear and do it anyway! 😊
@@Solo50plus I feel it's a bit too late at 64 😇
@@zequinha3423 you are never too late to follow your dream it just means that you need a little more money to renovate as you are unable to do a lot yourself
@@evelinebronsveld1559 you right there but sometimes renovation costs more than the property itself; I have a lovely flat in Gouveia where I've moved less than a year ago but still dream of having a small plot of land with an old house in our area (Beira Alta/Serra da Estrela)
Hi guy's fab video. Can I ask how much you have been quoted for your new septic tank. It is on my list and it would be very helpful to have some idea of what the cost might be. Thank you.
I'll ask Eveline next time I see her. I recently visited and got a bit of an update so it will be the next time.
@@Solo50plus That is very kind, thank you.
I was quoted €6000, but I was told that that was too expensive by other expats.

@@evelinebronsveld1559 Thank you Eveline
UK nif is ok if you live with someone and you trust them to open your mail while you're in Portugal. I could use my parents place, and that's probably what I'll do, eventually.
Problem is UK address on your NIF is no good when you need to do deal with the bureaucracy in Portugal. It has to match your Portuguese address.
👍💐
🙂
Yeas i would but now i cant go to portugal.with all the covid. I may come next year is there a place or b and be i can stay for a month so i can look around.thanks
You can find something on websites like Airbnb, booking dot com or VRBO
That awesome 👏🏽😊
You should kill the music though it’s annoying especially when it’s louder than your voices..
❤️✝️🇦🇺
Thanks for your feedback.
Thanks, which is the closest village?
Sorry, it's not for me to give out that information about Evelin's place.
Orca and Atalaia do campo
evelin, could you tell us how big is your land and how much does it cost it more or less. only if you are happy to tell us please
very beatiful and.also good for the health. thank you.
This info is all in the video!
It’s 3450 m2 I paid 43.500€ but spend another 50.000€
The wet area had me a bit concerned but overall I loved the place
It means that there will be all year long enough water for thirsty crops. It is not soaking. The neighbour had beans and corn planted there.
How come Andy? It's down hill from the house way below at the end of the garden. What concerns you? Could be useful and interesting to know. 😊
Correction ➡️➡️The plant name 15:26 is *PURSLANE* not Perseline 🙄
Amazing👍🏻
Puslane is an EXCELLENT food for people and animals, and the fact it grows so well there is a bonus. It grows as a weed in SoCal, (our weather is very similar to Central Portugal). That is amazing to have a field of purslane!!!
Madeira could be less expensive if you purchase land on the north side of the Island
Eveline didn't want to live on an island. She's sorted now 🏡 🙌🏽
I was looking at north Madeira but I didn’t want to be stuck on an island anymore with this so-called pandemic
@@evelinebronsveld1559 I think at the north side don't have any Covid cases
Terrific❣ So good of Eveline and you to discuss her experience and tour her property. It is exciting to see here how many people are inspired and more emboldened to make their move to your new homeland. Eveline is amazing as is the property she selected with its own food forest that she's adding to and enhancing. Her view of the mountains are gorgeous ~ is it the Gardunha? Wow, purslane is good stuff! Thank you for this, Luise❣
Glad you liked it Ruth. I don’t know what the mountain range is. I hope we get to catch up with Evelin again. Maybe she knows. :)
@@Solo50plus I was guessing, bc Eveline's near Fundao, if she shared a view of the Gardunha with Farmer for Fun or with OKportugal and the Sierra Estrella... no big, just curious 😊. I'm among those interested in your speaking with Eveline again if that's in your plans. Thanks for your reply, Luise❣ Love your honest, insightful, and lovely vlogs and ☆your☆ journey (no need to compare our own with others😉)! Thanks for all you do 💖.
@@ruthconstantino6861 yes it is the Gardunha range of the Estrella Mountains.
@@evelinebronsveld1559 Thanks, Eveline 😊 and congratulations on settling into your new home!
Where are the cats? :-)
They were exploring. I have a Russian Blue and a Russian White, both female
Maybe we can return for an update and see the cats then :)
@@Solo50plus you can
Beautiful choice. But i see a lot of chem trails in the sky too. Nevertheless, I would take on this project and i am also an over 50 single female.
Not a lot anyone can do about that. They are everywhere aren’t they?
@@Solo50plus Yes unfortunately see them above my house her in Brum, UK, often. Love your videos and courage.
Who was her realtor that helped her buy her home?
Remax in Castelo Branco

There you go Onna ⬆️..thanks Eveline
Hi love ur real life down to earth videos...I have always wanted to live in spain or Portugal but by the time i have come around to do it BRIXIT happened so we have been stock n cant move out of the uk as yet dou to heath reason my husband is a long term diabetic n has heart problems thats why we wanted live somewhere out of the uk.. But we're still thinking of moving to portugal..How can i get nif number when I'm still here in the uk please..any help or advice from someone that has already done this will be much welcome. Thanks Parvin
You can still travel and move to Portugal. It may not be as easy but it is still possible.
I suggest going onto the expats site for info on the niff (the link is in the description) you’ll get plenty advice and help there. Or just use a search engine and you will find lots if info on that.
This may also help th-cam.com/video/50Zv1E2sjws/w-d-xo.html
Is she looking for visit?
What do you mean Nadia? I don’t quite understand the question.
Well if your Portougise aint good you have to buy a book and make a half hour lesson every day. Just by saying it aint good, it wont be getting better I guess
Yep your right. Need to put in the work!
Music VERY distracting.
Noted!
It would be better with out that terrible noise called music
Duly noted Max!
@@Solo50plus I love your music selections. Keep up the great work! 👍
@@shasasser Thank you for your feedback Asabi. Quite a few people have said the same... Max is out voted. Can't please all the people all of the time! 😊
@@Solo50plus It was so loud you could barely hear what you were both saying in the second half of the video.
3450m2 por menos de 50 mil euros, o interior de Portugal está mesmo a saque 🤦♂
It does seem to be the area you get the most for your money :)
@@Solo50plus desertificaon of the interior, few jobs and people go to the cities...but it's still very cheap, the heirs are sleeping
a favour please, from one old lady to another, NO BACKGROUND MUSIC; or really low. I cannot hear what either of you is saying . Thank you.
No need to shout!
