Hi there! I am Joseph.
I have been an immigrant / expat living in central Portugal along with my beautiful girlfriend Mariana for six years now.
Together Mariana, my father Clinton and myself, would like to show you a bit of the daily goings on around our Portuguese farm / homestead / smallholding and all of the work we are doing whilst renovating, starting building projects, working with our livestock, DIY and trying to grow our little families own food!
In this episode we welcome you to join us in mid Spring time as we are given a tour around our dear friends farm house, which is for sale, in a rural mountain village in central Portugal.
We start the virtual tour by introducing ourselves as we explain the location of this wonderful gem of a farm and a little about the surroundings and local amenities.
We begin by walking up the long private shingle track, which gives fantastic access to the farm. Then we step onto the property itself, the first thing we see as we look around is huge cereal crop fields, which surround the property, as well as lots of cork oak trees and olives. There is a large farm house of 243m2 sitting at the end of the driveway, as we walk through the large newly built gate and impressive granite wall.
Mariana and I both walk through the lovely gateway, speak a little about the property and make our way onto the farm, where first of all we walk down to the very bottom of the land, where there is a beautiful large stream that borders the farm. It is a wildlife paradise here and evidence of animals can be seen everywhere you look, foxes, genet, wild boar, fallow deer, rabbits and more!
Once we discussed the farm itself, the biological septic tank that has just been fitted and the borehole, which provides the house with clean, drinking water. We make our way up to the farm house. Where we talk a little about how the owner has built this house specifically to sell it, there are still a little bit of works to go until the house is completely finished, namely the fitment of the doors and windows, the flooring and of course the piping that will need to be placed once the new owner has decided where exactly they would like the bathrooms and kitchens to be fitted.
We walk right through each and every one of the properties rooms, firstly the three guest suites, which would make an absolutely amazing bed and breakfast style guest accommodation, or just extra living space for a larger family. Then a long beautiful open plan living / kitchen space with carpentry work to die for! The carpenter is absolutely fantastic at his job and really has made these chestnut roof beams in a truly beautiful way, all held together by wooden pegs.
After we had looked around the entire farm house we took a trip back to our own farm, where it is indeed cherry season, being a cherry farm this is of course our most favourite time of the year.
First things first though, we saw that our own appetites were appeased as it was lunchtime, so I set the barbeque alight and made some pork neckbone rolls with cherry salsa, very nice it was too.
Once lunch time was out of the way we set to work, with our harvest. We are having a poor yield this year with an approximate 90% less cherries on the trees than normal years. Never mind though, perhaps the next crops will be better, with our grapes and olives.
I interview my dear mother as she is our farms 'quality control', so to speak, and she deals with all of the choosing, sorting and weighing of our harvest. She is also babysitting my lovely little Chloe whilst Mariana, my father and I pick the cherries.
At the very end of the day I sit underneath the infamous Fundao cherry trees and enjoy a nice beer as I enjoy the dappled evening sunshine and a few cherries too. I wish you all a very pleasant week ahead and I hope to see you all in the next one! Bye bye for now!
See our journey to self sufficiency / permaculture / organic farming living in Portugal, trying to produce as much of our own food planting vegetables, growing fruit trees as well as looking after all our animals, such as our chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, quail, rabbits and sheep - Shortly pigs too!

Another lovely one to add to my growing database. So useful to see these lovely properties as I edge towards getting my own. I'm refining with each viewing. Lots of agents selling romancified money pits so acquiring a discerning eye is a must; a process greatly assisted by Joseph and Mariana's walkabout. Obrigado.
"Leave it as nature intended" lol !!! Indeed, that is the best to do many times. Greetings from Sintra, mate!!!
Well good morning from USA, Washington state. What an amazing house for sale. How do they cut and fit the stones?! The wood beams and window frames are so beautiful and it goes so well with the stone. Anyway the setting is wonderful too! Someone is going to have a wonderful place. Sorry to hear of the lesser crop this year for your cherries. They are in our stores here now and I think of you all when I see them!
Yummy meal too! It was great to see your mom and little Chloe! Have a good week ahead!
Hello there Jeanne! Thank you so much! Awwwh, thank you for thinking of us, I wish I could give you some of our cherries hehe!! Much love to you Jeanne, have an amazing week.
Lovely video. Great to see your mum with cutie Chloe. Enjoyed all the info about cherry season, and thanks for taking us out to see the huge new build.
That was a beautiful home in the making with that lovely stream...I lpve how yours is a family farm and you all have your jobs to make it run smoothly...chloe is getting big now...she will be running round b4 you know it...
Hi Joe & Mariana most enjoyable looking around that beautiful property bet it will look stunning when it's finished, your cooking looked very tasty well done , great to see lovely mum & our beautiful Chloe bless them , cherries 🍒 look delicious, ,take care love to you all XXX🍒🍒🍒❤️
Hi Joseph, lovely Chloe seems very happy with your beloved mother 💐
Perfect structure work, i liked the thick walls and the color of the stones. Even the solid wood were excellently done.
I agree with you, it will make a good hospitality lodging.
I wonder if one can legally have a little more building additions & operating permit for lodging ?
Hi Abdu,
one hundred percent you can, I even have done this on some of my own properties. Very easily arranged. Much love, Joseph.
eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler👍👍👍👍
I love your channel! Thank you for spotlighting these beautiful properties! I can’t wait to move there.
Finally a great property. Not a dump but still a lot to do and quite big.
Hi Joseph and Mariana another stunning property lots of potential to put your own footprint,Joseph correct me if I’m wrong was watching a video on a new law that’s been passed about holiday let’s short let’s and b&bs that they are not going to be allowed in Portugal.food looks really tasty makes your mouth water.
How can all of this be just 235,000?? Unbelievable!!
Absolutely stunning!🙂
Wow, stunning. The possibilities are endless with this home! New to your channel. All the best
Hey Joseph, thanks for the video. Such a beautiful house! How much it costs to build a stone house like this? I didn’t even know it was possible to build a stone house so thick these days.
Ahhh, lovely to see, we were in Monsanto a few weeks ago, such a beautiful place. Really enjoyed this video as I do all your videos 😃
Like your vlogs and your Portuguese is excellent!
bless you my dear friend! thank you for the compliments
Ah....so glad you got a cherry pitter. 🍒cherry 🍒 90% down ?! So sorry to hear that. Hope next year better.
Hehe, thank you! My dear friend Peter bought it for me! Much love 💕
You're so blessed 😍
Great video Joe and mariana and my little cherry sorting companion ♥
I love it, so calming, although i bet here is a lot very hard work involved, you just make it look easy. It's difficult to pick anyone thing, however, i do like the cooking segment, who needs cooking to be complicated.
And you still have timetable make a Video! I hope that other crops pick up the slack.
Awwwh, thank you my friend. I am hoping that our next harvest (grapes) is a bountiful one! Much love 💕
Coming to Portugal in a couple weeks, might want to check on the current status!
After buying from the same owner of the property shown in this video. We cannot recommend the amazing, fabulous, fantastic Fernando enough! He uses traditional craftsmen as you can see with the amazing roof structure. He and his family are the best builders in Portugal. He is one of the loveliest and kindest men you could ever hope to meet and has enabled us to have our absolute dream house. Joseph and his whole lovely family will readily confirm this! ❤❤
Depois de comprar ao mesmo proprietário do imóvel mostrado neste vídeo. Não podemos recomendar o espantoso, fabuloso e fantástico Fernando o suficiente! Ele usa artesãos tradicionais como se pode ver com a espantosa estrutura do telhado. Ele e a sua família são os melhores construtores em Portugal. Ele é um dos homens mais amáveis e bondosos que alguma vez se poderia esperar encontrar e permitiu-nos ter a nossa casa de sonho absoluta. Joseph e toda a sua adorável família irão prontamente confirmar isto! Mariana, José e Fernando perdoem-me pela minha terrível tentativa, que demorou algum tempo! ❤❤❤❤😍😍😍
This is good to know! As I start the process of moving to my dream! Portugal!! I will be buying ahead of time of course!!
I have been watching your videos. Really nice. One question I have for you: how is internet connection on that area? As an IT guy and would need it to work...
I live in Arizona USA. I want to move to Portugal. My concern would be how easy is it to do. And how hard would it be to find construction help to redo it.
Ohh easy peasy, I could put recommended builders your way straight away!
👌👍🏻
Thanks for the video! Would such a house have an Internet connection and phone reception in Portugal please?
I enjoy your video's, the current house while nice does not use enough mortar in the construction.
💯✨
Are the wild boars dangerous in general?
That’s the biggest lemon I think I’ve ever seen!
It really was a big one, the variety is apparently very good for making lemonade!
My grandmother had a lemon tree that gave lemons so large, I remember it from my youth well. Then again perhaps I was just smaller back then
Hi you're saying its a new house? Or maybe refurbished ,it looks new but/////// maybe the bigger house its new the stone looks like been used just washed.
No, it’s a new build on top of where a smaller ruin was situated. The stones may have been brought here from another site, sandblasted etc. most probably the stone came from another ruin
@@Farmerforfun Ok thank you.
Is this farm still available please Joseph we are coming to Portugal in March to view potential properties. Is it on an estate agent site at all ?
Hello there, I would love to show you around this property with the sellers, please email me to arrange this, farmerforfun@outlook.com
How do you prevent invasions of wild boars?
What would you estimate the cost for finishing the house?
The only thing left after the purchase will be the tiling, kitchens, bathrooms and furnishing. So realistically you are looking at spending from 40,000 until having the entire house ready to live in. of course there are tiles and there are tiles, some people may be happy with €10m2 tiles and others €50m2, these kind of things will determine the final price better
@@Farmerforfun wowwwww So you’re telling me you can do all the electrical work and all the lighting and all the concrete and tiling work and all the bathrooms and all the kitchen appliances and the air conditions and Heating and all the doors and windows for only $ 40,000 for all that 🧐All this work and probably take two years the way things work in Portugal it’s hard to get material and supplies Question how long did it take him to build that house
I don’t think you have understood John, the house has a lot of works to still be completed before the sale. This gentleman gets things done well and with a good price, honestly I’ve seen many of his properties from start to finish, I would recommend you get on the ground and see things first my friend. The process can be completed quicker or longer depending on how a buyer would prefer, if you pay more workers to come per day it can be done quicker, if you pay one builder and work on a shoe string it would take months
(a lot of the works will be included in the price I meant too, like I stated in the video)
I was just about to reply with ‘didn’t he say that in the video?’ Then I saw Joeseph already replied. Great property and fairly priced against lots of others on the market currently I say
Hello Joseph, how we can come in contact about these Farm? We wrote you two emails... but no answers. Tatjana and Wolfgang
Why does the stalk need to be on?
Do they finance the house?
Is this still for sale?
Still for sale?
Do you have some chickens for sale?
i am sure the stones are not new been used,,,you can see for instance some places have kind holes cracked and so on,But maybe I am wrong.
I have doubts about the water ...
Incredible such a big construction and it doesn't have a bathroom. Absurd right. 🤔🤔🤔🤦♀️🤷♀️
Did you watch the video? There is a septic and pipework for the bathroom - I mentioned that the buyer can state where they would like the bathroom constructed.
But will Monsanto town also change his name to Bayer town i wonder 🤔
Hahaha, not related fortunately… Monsanto the village was already a good few hundred years old when the chemical spray company was created 😂 💕
Funny!
❤😂😂🎉🎉😢😢😮😮😅😅😊
salsa de cereja? (cherry parsley?)
Hahahah no! Salsa has numerous meanings outside of the Portuguese translation of parsley. One of which is a dance, but I assure you it is not a cherry dance…
I removed all your other comments by the way as they didn’t really seem to be relative to anything in particular, or helpful, they were choking up the comment section as there were just too many…
I could not see the "salsa". Salsa as far as I know is a green herb.
Hi Eduardo, it’s flat leaf parsley, did you see right at the front of the shot when I had all the ingredients out, it’s that green herb on the table. Much love my friend.
