Our enchanting abandoned stone house in central Portugal has been vacant for years and is in dire need of restoration. Our vision is to breathe life back into this century-old stone house - from mending the leaking roof and revamping the plumbing system to remodelling rooms.The land, though currently a sanctuary for weeds, will be cleared and turned into a sustainable homestead- all achieved on a modest budget.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, so come along and join us in our day to day lives and on our journey as we start transforming this neglected property into a warm, welcoming space and prepare the land to start "growing our own". Follow us at TeaAndTinto and please subscribe to our channel.

Looking back at the first 18 months renovating our stone house, grounds and land in Central Portugal. There have been some challenges along the way but, with a smile and a very limited budget, have done lots of DIY work ourselves along with a little help from our friends.

It was abandoned for many years before we came here and that meant neglect and time had caused damage to the interior. So if you dare, come along for a tour of the ground floor and see what what we mean, but don´t say we didn´t tell you that it´s a bit scary and not for the faint -he...

It´s not always sunny in Portugal. When we moved to our old stone house here in central Portugal, we experienced a lot of heavy rain. There was so much rain, in fact, that it wasn´t just falling on the farm land, but it was also coming in through the roof and causing damage to the ceiling and running down the stone walls. The roof will be a major renovation job, but not right now. As spring app...

As winter draws to a close on our farm in central Portugal, it's time to start getting ready to grow vegetables by starting off our vegetable seeds. First we have to relocate the polytunnel and move it to a better position with more light. But thats not the only job to do.

Bem vindo and Welcome to our channel @TeaAndTinto and our farm in central Portugal. Decades of neglect had caused this old stone well (which is over 100 years old) to become overgrown with brambles. The brambles were using trees that surrounded the structure, along with a perimeter fence, to thrive and spread, turning into a thick barricade. So it´s off to work again, cutting, chopping and clea...

It is amazing what a bit of hard work and determination can do on our farm in central Portugal. In order to get an idea of the lay of the land and to open up the spaces on our farm, we spent hours strimming the land, cutting down weeds and brambles and removing old sheep fencing. Some of the fencing had been nailed into trees and become embedded as the trees grew. This made the task even more d...

We bought an ABANDONED stone house in Portugal...BUT didn´t have access!
Переглядів 14 тис.4 місяці тому
Welcome to our first ever UA-cam video @ TeaAndTinto. When we bought the house it had been abandoned for decades. The grounds were full of rubble. The old iron gates were ceased shut , and brambles, ivy and an assortment of weeds carpeted the mess. Our first priority was to transform the courtyard and turn it into a lovely space for parking the cars.
Congrats. What about your dad?
💯💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful house and land
What an amazing job you, both, have done. Beautiful home and gardens!
Such a beautiful home and land, it is going to be breathtaking when you have finished renovating and developing. Looking forward to seeing it all.
Thank you so much Narelle 😀
Are you going to fit double glazing at some point? My house is on a road like yours and I want to fit DG on the ground floor only but not sure with what style I should go with. Similar style and age as yours.
I think we'll have to eventually John. Makes sense for insulation. Maybe the only solution is custom made and we'd probably keep the same style.
Well done on keeping the motivation to carry on with all that hard graft 😉
Thank you Paul 👍
Loved this video. I really enjoy the way you put together your episodes. Keep up the good work.
What a lovely comment. Thank you Liz 😁
Just gorgeous. I am very impressed with your husband's much desired beetroot crop.😊

Are you all ok no vlogs for a while
Thank you for asking. We're fine and putting one out this week 😀
I am a native, born in Figueira da Foz but live in the US for over 50 years. What a beautiful property with so many potential...I love big houses, I was born in a 5 bedroom house and now live in a 3 bedroom house...😂 The house has a charm, very pretty. Believe it is a custom home built by someone very rich. Bet you'll decorate it very nicely and can even turn it into a Bed&Breakfast or Airbnb Good luck with everything and have fun!! 🌹🌺🪴🌷🌻💕
Hi Helena in the USA.👋 Figeira da Foz a great seaside location! Thank you so much for your lovely comments.
What a diamond in the rough! I can see how it sparked your imagination! Oh, the potential! To bring it back to it's full glory! Lovely!
Thank you so much Miranda 😀

Uma casa linda, espaços maravilhosos. Encontraram móveis antigos na casa quando a compraram? Muito trabalho pela frente mas uma grande caminhada, começa com o primeiro passo e esse vocês já o deram. Parabéns daqui do Brasil.

Hi from your brother country, Galicia! Love your house, it's got lots of potential, can't wait to witness the process of renovation. I'm sure it'll turn out stunning. New subscriber! 🤗
Hi there Maria in Galicia. The scenery in Galicia is so beautiful 😍
@@TeaAndTinto Thanks, it is! It's got some magic places: forests, coastline, villages... Very similar to Portugal, it's a shame the eucalyptus trees are taking over
Leave the ceilings. they provide the drama and warmth. Making them white will leave a sterile free. White ceilings are to give a feel of height, you don’t need that.
It's true that we don't need the height. For now we're leaving them as they are 😁

Hi Rafael in Boston 👋
Lovely home. I fell in love with your gorgeous stone walls. The history this has is incredible. Watching you from Texas USA.
Hi Pamela in Texas 👋. Thank you very much 😁
Beautiful! Maby a future B&B! watching from Finland
Thank you. It certainly has the potential 😁
I really enjoyed the tour of your home. Thank you. It is beautiful!
Thank you very much for your lovely comment.
I’m blown away by the prices of everything at the market. Gob smacked would be more accurate. Australian $ and Europes € are around the same at present, maybe slight cents difference. For example that €10 fruit tree would’ve been well over $30 here. And the seedlings here are around $5-$10 pending.
I agree with you about prices. We certainly couldn't get plants so cheap in the UK and I know things are more expensive in Australia. Our daughter lives there 😁
Beautiful home. From Ohio USA
Thank you Martha in Ohio USA
New subscriber from Ireland here. House looks amazing and is in great condition. One thing I cannot help but wonder is who will clean all those rooms when you have all the renovations you wish completed? Did you intend to buy a large house? I do admire your energy and vision though.
Thank you very much friend in Ireland. Certainly a lot of rooms to clean. No we didn't set out to get such a large house but fell in love with it's character ☺️

Lots of work, lots of plans. Looking forward to the continuing journey❣️From Portland, Oregon🇺🇸
Hi there in Portland USA and thank you 👋
We could have used a house like this back in the day… with 11 children in our family. 🥴 we had 2 bdrms.
Wow! That is a large family and definitely would have suited this house! 😁
What a delightful home with so many fun things you can do. May I suggest that you enjoy the suggestions, but in the end you need to be delighted with each space. If you want to lighten the living room ceiling, then lighten it. If you want to remove the sand paint then do so. After all, the journey to bringing your vision to life is what makes renovating an old home so enjoyable Two suggestions I would throw into the pot of considerations is to put in healing/cooling at least on the areas you spent most of your day time to enhance your living enjoyment. The second suggestion is to remove the ceiling in the kitchen and allow it to completely dry out, treat and remove any mold and then put back in a breathable ceiling. Mold can be very toxic for health. Have fun!
Thank you Gail for the suggestions. Really appreciate ideas we hadn't thought about 😁 and different perspectives. We spent several days scraping the sand paint in the conservatory. It's still textured but not sharp, so we can cope with that. However not looking forward to scraping all the other rooms 😂. It's definitely going to be slow going. We have thought about air conditioning for heating/cooling but are concerned about the look on the outside of the building. The kitchen ceiling is concrete we believe and should be ok once treated. Thank you very much for your input.

Hi, hello 🤩 watching from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines 🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨
Hi there friend in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines 👋
I don't think I would hang all those mirrors, instead, I would lean them on the dressers or furniture Use a tiny dab of museum putty to hold them in place. Also, those dark ceilings are historic and dramatic! Please keep them.
Thank you friend for the suggestions. For now we'll keep the ceilings as they are 😁
Concerning the sand paint on the winter room, just repaint the walls. As an interior designer I see people waste a lot of time instead of just doing the quick and easy thing. That way it's clean and fresh and ready to be decorated. I agree with whoever told you to leave all the ceilings the way they are. It adds to the history and charm and painting them white will take away so much of the history and character. There's plenty of light in the house the way they are.
Thank you for the useful suggestions. I wonder if there's a certain type of paint that would help smooth the walls. For now we'll leave the ceilings as they are.
A casa é maravilhosa, vocês tem muito trabalho pela frente. Vou acompanhando daqui do Brasil. Parabéns pelo trabalho e principalmente por recuperar uma casa tão linda.
Muito obrigada Lilian em Brazil 👋
I think I would turn the small bedroom into a bathroom and open the large bathroom into the adjoining room to make an en suite.
Oh that's an interesting suggestion. Thank you.
"So we don't keep our underwear up there..." - absolutely LOVE your sense of humour! 😂😂😂 You have an exquisite home!
Ha ha! Thank you for the lovely comments 😁
