Hi there! I am Joseph.
I have been an expat living in central Portugal along with my beautiful girlfriend Mariana for six years now.
Together Mariana and I, along with my father Clinton and my brother in law Lloyd, 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 early summer 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 and explaining the reason behind our neighbour and friend selling his farm and home in central Portugal, we are not estate agents and have no involvement in the sale of this property but we believe this to be one of the most beautiful farms around and a bargain too, so it is our pleasure to help out Senhor Pinto.
We start the tour by walking around the land, checking out all the fruit trees and making our way down to my favourite aspect of this farm, the private 1,130m2 private lake, which is constantly home to nesting moorhens, mallards, water voles and even stocked with grass carp so you can build a jetty, tie up a little rowing boat, plant a willow tree and some water lilies and fish in the peaceful tranquillity of your own garden.
The irrigation pond is of course meant for just that, fed by a natural spring which keeps the water level topped up year round and has enough water to keep your little slice of paradise green and lush throughout the hot summer months. A much needed commodity which most farms do not have in Portugal, one that should not be overlooked or undervalued.
Shortly afterwards, we take a walk around the rest of the farm. Checking out the boundary fence, pottering round the many different meadows and fields and seeing what trees and woodland are available to any lucky buyer.
Together Mariana and I chat with Senhor Pinto as we are walking around, asking questions about the 3 hectares of land and all of its assets, of which there are many. Constantly making our way back up to the top of the terraces of the homestead, where Pinto explains to us where he used to have his cherry orchards, of course these could once more be turned into orchards, providing even more of an income than the already affluent olive harvest. There are around 150 olive trees which would easily rake in € 3,000 euros per year in olive oil sales.
After the walk around tour we make our way to the 200 square metre barn / livestock house that is situated on the very top level of the smallholding. This can easily house the 19 sheep that Pinto has living in there, his tractor, two farm vehicles, trailers and a large store of hay bales. We also take a look at the borehole which is well supplied with clean tested drinking water and also the property is connected to mains electricity, so no extra fees or costs.
Finally we view the ruin, the old farmhouse, the rock slate walls are good and intact, the inside would need total reconstruction, which would not be hard or expensive, I have many contacts of builders, electricians, plumbers etc and I can be on hand throughout the building process to translate if necessary as I live not too far from this farm and I have many contacts in the area which could give quotes before hand.
We say goodbye to Pinto and his wife and we head back to our farm, via the 200 metre long cobbled driveway, with good access to the village and all of its amenities, cafes, butchers, shops, hairdressers, swimming beach, restaurant etc.
Back on our farm I take to the blackthorn and bramble bushes to pick some summer fruits and make a sloe gin, of course I show my recipe and method.
Right at the end of the day I talk a little about this week and how everything went, standing in the entrance to our one hectare vineyard, checking the grapes to see when they will be ready for harvest and eating a freshly picked apple. It was nice that we managed to look around the property for sale and seeing everything that it has to offer, such a cheap farm too!
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!

A beautiful farm. I can throughly recommend Joseph's advice and reccomenedations on property. We are sitting in a beautiful farm which is simply amazing thanks to Joseph and Marianna. Who ever gets this farm not only has the perfect view and property but also the perfect neighbours. You couldn't hope to meet a nicer guy or more wonderful woman than our great friends Joseph and Marianna.
Ohh Peter! You lovely, lovely gentleman you!!! It was a pleasure fishing with you yesterday and spending the afternoon in your wonderful, amazing farmhouse! Maybe if a viewer buys Pintos farm we will have a new place to fish together, on Pintos farm, hehe! 🎣 💕 Bless you mate! Joseph.
Available?
Thanks for the tour, Joe and Mariana, such a fantastic farm - what a shame for Senhor Pinto that he is having to sell. I wish we were in the market for this, no doubt it will make a very fulfilling project for whoever buys it.
Hello there! Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoyed our little video. Yes, I am so upset for him, it was a big blow to us when he got taken to hospital. I am very pleased he has recovered so quickly up until now, I just hope for his sake that the farm is one less worry he will have soon. Thank you so much. Much love, Joseph and Mariana.
Amazing place. I've done a few renovations back in the UK but nothing that big. I wish I had the imagination and guts to take on something like that. That place is not only going to make someone a wonderful home... but also a wonderful life! We can all dream. Thanks for sharing.
My heart yearns for changes but I to feel that I have ran out out time. I watch your videos and dreams of what it would be like. Only time will tell. Thanks Joseph for your wonderful videos.
You never fail to impress Joe. Great content and loved your earlier interaction with Eco and beyond on their channel . Wish I was 30 years younger as that farm would be worth a go.
Hello there Jim! Bless you my friend. I love Kylie and Guy, great, great people. Much love my friend. Joseph and Mariana.
@@Farmerforfun I had just sent you an email. could you check your inbox or spam please? best
thank you for exploring and letting us see the beauty of Portugal.
Great video Joe and mariana, this farm is idyllic with the beautiful lake, and few mins from the village with bars, cafes, shops, bakery, restaurant
Thank so much mum!!! 💕
I like the Pond. if it was my place, I would be building a small cabin right next to it to live year-round.
Exactly what I would do!!!
Absolutely lovely farm. My father and I had checked it out before we moved out to Portugal. Was a lovely place. I pray that you and your family stay safe and well Joseph and Mariana. Thank you for another brilliant video. 👍
Oh what an amazing place to live your life...
The calm, the peace the air..heaven in earth...
Joseph & Maria you both have been very kind & helpful. God Bless you both. Obrigado
Bless you my friend, you are so lovely. Thank you so much. Much love, Joseph and Mariana.
What a stunning farm! I’m sure it will be sad day for Senor Pinto when he leaves, as he clearly loves this place.. he’s left a great legacy for others to continue 🐑🌾
Bless you Pippa, you are so right! I can tell it will be a sad day, I had a drink and a chat with him last night, he wants to sell but doesn’t want to leave. I can understand that. You are so lovely, it will be a great legacy! one that he will be proud to see be carried on! Much love to you, as always, Joseph and Mariana.
Joseph and Mariana, the farm is amazing and the stone house can be absolutely charming. Nice barn. Another plus is that who ever purchases it will have you for neighbors.
Awwwwh, thank you Louis! You are so kind, I think having me as a neighbour might depreciate the value haha!! Much love to you, Joseph and Mariana.
Yes, i second that, just came across Joseph and Mariana for the first time a few hours ago and I am already a mesmerised, hypnotised addict to the videos and I like the way that Joseph educates his viewers about the names of the fruits, berries and just about everything. He doesn't assume that everyone knows everything, which is good because not everyone knows about farming even though they aspire to have a farm. Gosh, I would consider myself blessed to have Joseph and Mariana as neighbours. I am looking at the farm and thinking and wondering if it could work for me and my needs.
Beautiful who wouldn't want it Love the church bell as well! Thank you for the walk through! Fun!
Thank you for the tour of the farm Joseph and Marianna. It is a beautiful place.
Awwwh, well thank you for watching my dear friend. I am so pleased you liked it. I love this farm and I will be so happy to see a new family working it, to help Senhor Pinto recover somewhat as he retires.
You do a lovely job of showing his farm. It’s just beautiful and a great buy! If only.
Thank you so much Barbara! Much love to you, Joseph and Mariana.
Oh My Word, that is a gorgeous location, and has so so much potential. If only I was 30yrs younger! I hope you manage to sell the property for your friend, as it truly is an amazing place! Must be challenging for Mr Pinto to have to sell up as his heart has been invested for so long here.
Yes Bimse! Very tough for him. I spoke with him last night and he told me he wants to sell but doesn’t want to leave, I can sympathise with that, bless his heart, health deterioration is a sad thing indeed! I hope now he can sell and enjoy his retirement a bit. Much love to you as always, my dear friend! Joseph and Mariana.
I love this farm. Seriously consider buying one in Portugal next year. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome my friend. When you get out here give us a shout, we would love to say hello! Much love, Joseph and Mariana.
I love this farm. Very well cared for..animals and land.
Joseph a 'dream farm' is a good description. On the edge of a town great for retirees. Just lovely thk you.
Hello there Vyvien. I love this farm so much. Thank you so much. Much love, Joseph and Mariana.
Another super interesting video, Joe! What a gorgeous farm.... all the fruit trees... everything looked very well maintained. I love the lake too. I would build a little jetty, and tie my kayak to it. I’d be out paddling all day🥰
Awwwwh, thanks aunt Den! I am totally with you, I’d be lost to the world all day long, sitting on my little boat whistling to myself and fishing or reading a book!! Hehehe! Much love to you, as always, Joseph!
Hello Joseph and Mariana. Truly enjoy all your video. Love the property. This is so much my childhood dream to own and be a farmer.
This is gorgeous. A beautiful piece of land for a family who wants to have a homestead
Thank you so much my dear friend 💕
Love your videos. Looks like you and Mariana are expecting a glorious event. Congratulations.
I'm a sucker for olive trees and that healthy pond plus more mature fruit trees makes this a gorgeous little slice of paradise.

Omg what a gorgeous place…. If only I was 30 years younger I would be first in the queue to buy it💕💕💕
What a excellently situated farm. Its view of the Garduna is gorgeous. The farm is an exceptional opportunity in that you are available to help refer good builders and help the lucky new owners settle in. Marvelous.
Awwwh, I know, those views are some of the best I have seen around. Much love, Joseph and Mariana.
Joseph this is a very interesting property and worth taking another closer look 😀😍👍
Awwwh thank you so much Chris! If you wanted a viewing I can show you round 😁 💕
@@Farmerforfun how much do you think it would cost to renovate the house to a reasonable standard ?
@@christinetomlinson4132 , was wondering the same thing too...and thinking ......hmmmm
Wow! Very nice indeed Joseph. Just started watching your videos and well done. This is a beautiful spot and I'm sure it has sold thanks to you.
In a couple of months i'm heading to Portugal to look around and hopefully do some volunteer work. To bad this farm comes to early cos this farm is right up my alley.
Yep I know exactly what you mean! I love this farm too, it’s a little slice of paradise that would be right up my alley too hehe! Much love my friend, Joseph and Mariana.
Beautiful looking place indeed...
Thank you so much Adam! Much love, Joseph and Mariana.
A real shame that UA-cam didn't recommend this video to me sooner, would definitely have been interested - looks wonderful.
Nice lake on that property!! Super that it has water all year round. That gin looks good too - cool video 👍🏻
Thanks so much Mark, you are the best. happy birthday to Stef!!! 💕
A cracking detailed video, and what a stunning place. A like bit on the large size for me, but someone with a bit of cash, could turn it into a dream place. Don’t be put off by the work, but not for the faint hearted. I’ve just subscribed to your channel, as I loved your detailed explanation of it all. Keep up the good work.
Amazing hard work my friend, thank you for sharing your efforts ❤
Just found your channel great job you are doing very interested in your farmhouse looks amazing would love to see a feature on it Cheers for now
Wow, I wish I had the money to buy that, it would be a dream come true for me. Especially the fishing lake, I'd be there most of the time.
Yes, it would be perfect farm haus for us! 😊 😍 😉
Do it, become my neighbour, we would have such fun chatting over the fence and exchanging vegetables hehe!!! Much love, Joseph and Mariana.
Hi Hello Joseph and Mariana. You are Great farmer in the world or Portugal. Joesph and Mariana are great or good both .I like your videos.
Bless you my dear friend, you always write such lovely comments! much love to you, Joseph and Mariana.
Hi Joseph I watched you at Eco and Beyond as well. Would be great if the Farm finds a nice new owner. Sad its getting to much for the owner right now. He looks so proud. Regards and thank you for again a lovely video.
Hello there Monique! Awwwh that’s amazing, Kylie and Guy are just so lovely!!! Yeah, I wish for Pinto that it finds a nice new family to take it over, he is a lovely, proud man, I think he will be very upset the day when he hands the keys over. Much love to you Monique, Joseph and Mariana.
💯👌🏽😁 loverly farm! Dream farm for me just need that dream money for the completion 😉 one day I hope 🤞🏽 thanks for great video 🤩
Hehe, same for me Jamal! My mind starts racing on the possibilities when I walk round nice farms like this one! Much love Jamal, as always, Joseph and Mariana.
Beautiful place!
Thank you so much Julia! All the best, Joseph
Hello Joseph and Mariana! 😀💪💪
I love this farm. Thinking about moving out of Lisbon
Lovely, lovely place! And if we can have you as neighbours, even better! :-) I saw that the place has been sold to Jonny and Sam - good for them! We need to get in touch with you soon because we're (finally!) coming on our first trip Portugal in June for a 3 week tour. Need your help in finding a nice little spot fur us and the kids. Hugs from Hanover!
Hello there my dear friend! Yes, Jonny and Sam bought this beautiful place, I couldn't be happier to have such amazing neighbours! Would be a pleasure to help you too, send us an email whenever you are ready, farmerforfun@outlook.com
Thanks, I really like this site, you do a good job at explaining and giving the details about the location and the price. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching!
This is a beautiful farm! Love the views, space and the lake. The renovation is a bit daunting, but awesome place!! Thank you for sharing. I love this place!
Knowing the good, reliable builders in the area would be a big plus! We bought a house in the Minho in similar condition. Major project! Builder was good mostly but there were a few problems. This would be nice with some exposed stone but maybe best plastered/stuccoed. Insulate on the inside (condensation on cold stone in winter can be a problem but drier there than the Minho so….). New roof. Those roof tiles would probably still be pretty good but our builder just tore them off and trashed them. Seemed like a waste.
Wow Amazing beautiful farm of Portugal. Next videos?
Awwh thank you my friend! I’m filming the next one now! I hope you enjoy it on Saturday my friend 💕
Very nice place…😍
WOWZA!
Beautiful place..shocked at some of the comments.....certain types of people im sure portugal will be happy if you stay where you are...
Horses for courses I’m sure hehe! Would be a dull world if we all wanted the same thing! Oh well, we will just have to enjoy Portugal without them Nevis… Shame, right? Much love my friend!!! 💕 🇵🇹 💕
Don't mind on those people comments Because they're from city I call them their noses hi, City people always seeing farmers lower but I loved that place for retirement five more years left 4 me good luck for buyers I'm sure all ready sold
My dream and in Portugal, talking about sunshine. My granddad was from Portugal.
Awwwh that’s so lovely. I love portugal so much, I am very passionately in love with this beautiful country! all the best to you my dear friend. Joseph.
Hi you guys Nice property!
Thank you so much Andrew, much love to you my friend! Joseph and Mariana.
Thank you Joe - what a wonderful farm - hubby and I are in love with it - I sent you an email...

Thank you my dear friend! much love to you. Joseph and Mariana.
@@Farmerforfun you are welcome my friend
Beautiful place
Hello there Chris, Thank you so much. Much love, Joseph and Mariana.
@@Farmerforfunthx have a nice weekend 🌴☀️🇵🇹🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷
Hi Joseph, beautiful farm. I hope your friend is recovering from his operation. Has the farm been sold?
It would be so much fun to design this!
That place would be perfect for us, but got 6 more years in Australia (son is still at school).
Awwwh, thank you, hehe! I’m pleased you liked the video my friend, I love this farm. Love from Portugal to Australia.
I am new to the channel and really impressed. We currently live in the campo near Ronda, Andalucia but think we may be looking to buy somewhere in your area next year.
Very good and nice Farm house.I need good people's help in owning such a beautiful farmhouse
Awwwh, bless you my friend! Joseph
Hello Joseph nice forme to by!...😊
Mariana is super beautiful.
Hello there Paula, it’s such a gorgeous place, isn’t it?! like a nature reserve, hehe! Awwwh, thank you so much, I love her so dearly! Much love to you my friend, Joseph.
Hello from morocco. Blessings 🥰💕❤️👍👍
Joseph and Mariana, would you be able to give us a peek at the Souto do Casa village steps from senhor Pinto's place? A 10 minute walk to all those amenities makes this attractive farm even more so. I mean, srsly, on top of being your neighbor and having you 😇guys😇 as a resource!
Hello there Ruth, I certainly would privately on Facebook or something if you wanted me to, I couldn’t post it on UA-cam though as it’s a little too close to home to my own farm to give out exact locations 😬 hehe!! but yes privately I will for sure! Joseph and Mariana.
@@Farmerforfun Oh, Roger that, Joseph, didn't think about that (it being close to your home). Never mind 😁, lol, i was just curious "stroll" the village and virtually admire the amenities. Thank you though for your kind reply.
Heh heh, i'm so excited for the lucky person who gets to buy this farm 😊.
A blessed good day!!! beautiful 😍 Couple Joseph and Mariana, Wowwww this is it 😍 I love this so big Farm house my Dream farm house for my family 😍 When Can I put my farm piggery, chicken Poultry For chicken meat and Egg, and livestock's, and Plant, my Own Vegetables I love so much Many Fruit Bearing Tress I love this lovely Quiet Peacefull farm With houses,
My dream travel destinations ♥️ beautiful Country of PORTUGAL 🇵🇹 and to live, thank you so much Guys, Joseph and Marianna for excellent wonderful walk around tour video Godbless from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Marvin 👏👏👏😍👏👏👍🎉🙏🙂👏👏👏👏👏👏
Smashing video mate ! How you going with your pigs ? Loved the tour you gave Eco & Beyond !
Wow nice one I liked it. Let us see if I can make it.
My gosh Portugal is gorgeous. I am sorry for Senor Pinto, but he seems to be recovering nicely.
This property is right up my street being stonemason and with fishing lake. What dreams are made of. Just a tiny bit over my budget. As mini digger purchase needed for me to rebuild. Hopefully can find similar property but with a 20k less price tag.
I would grow my own food and share with the neighbors. I would rebuild and add lots of windows and doors to add more natural light.
I would want wild flowers and add some meadows to bring birds, butterflies and bees. May add another guest house on the property and extend the living quarters to include the outdoor space.
I LOVE those ideas!!! I can picture it now - it would look spectacular for sure!!! 💕 Joseph
In a few months I`m going to invest on a remote farm and use it for my family vacations as well as for a tourism, but with a special project, a bit different than usual. what you showed us would be perfect for my project. I would even be interested on keeping the owner living there as having someone near or on location would fulfill one of the premises of my project. I wonder if the farm is still available. I might try to reach you once I`m ready to move forward.
Wow Imagine a rural retreat there.
Ahhh, it would be so beautiful! 💕
wow, looks amazing - if posible cover internet connection possibilities (if mobile data, maybe do a speedtest to show)
Thank you for yet another great video.
Yes my mistake I should have done. the village has optic fibre and 4G mobile signal. Thank you so much. Much love, Joseph and Mariana.
@@Farmerforfun am new to your channel and I don't know if you have done a video of the nearest village showing the amenities and shops etc, is that possibility one day ?
Just when we like one property you show, then we fall in LOVE with this one! Did it sell?
Awww bless you, thank you. Yes, this one is sold, check my website to see current property availability, www.farmerforfun.com
House has the appearance of the type of place that has a few headaches as far as fixing up like it requires a team to fix it up. I like to live a more simple, small, more rudimentary type shelter when it needs repair, the repairs can be done quite easily by myself.
Greetings from Mexico City!
Hello Joseph...thanks for this great video. Im trying to understand what price range this is marketed. Apologies if you have said or stated this already somewhere.
Love this farm! How much is it?? Thank you! For such a good job with the videos 😊🇺🇸
Beautiful farm. Someone should jump at the chance. I'm sure someone will. Alex
Thank you so much Alex! Much love to you and your family, Joseph and Mariana,
contact me please
Thank you Joe very interesting vidio what a beautiful farm love the lake ,so much land , well done always a pleasure to watch , love to you & Mariana XX💙❤️🙋👍
Hi Joe ,
What’s the name of the town ?
Great Videos, would a vineyard be feasible?
Thanks Mate
Frank in San Diego California
Hi Frank! Yes, there are vineyards all around this farm, other farms have them, I am the neighbour and I have 3,000 vines. There are vines on this property but currently not many, they could easily be planted, heck, I could even help you plant! The town is Fundao my friend. Joseph.
Thank you so much Nan! Much love to you both, Joseph. x x x x
Joseph and Marianna your way too nice to be real estate agents especially in Portugal 🇵🇹 Lol 😂
Hehehehe, I wish that were true haha!!! Much love to you and your family. Joseph and Mariana.
Wonderful video, doesn't snow in winter, if so so how long it stays, and what is the lowest temperature ? Thank you
This would be amazing for animals friends, fruit trees and family you could space them out enough that you can have them build their own homes and still have freedom to not see them all the time! Beautiful! Everyone eating from the land organic all the way!
Sound like a rum ole Norfolk boi! Nice vid thanks
Close but not quite!!! 😂 I’m Suffolk, from Bury St. Edmunds!
@@Farmerforfun Dang it I was gonna say East Anglian! I got too confident :-D I'm just down the rud across the border in Harleston. Having my first travel to Portugal later in the year with the hope to do something similar to what you guys are doing. Thanks for the positive enjoyable vids!
17:00 Yeah, that could be converted into another bedroom. But it would be cheaper and easier to tear it down and build the bedroom.
You do not mention the price of the Farm or aprox what it would take to get it into shape, before add on such as a pool. Bathrooms and kitchen,bedrooms, livingroom etc yes to be included, but what strickly confoms the house. thank you.
Joseph can I contact you directly on Facebook regarding this one please mate? I like the cut of Señor Pintos jib! This farm looks amazing and priced very well too compared to others I’ve seen around. I’m not quite over there yet, but this is so far top if my list of fincas/quintas for sale. Did I hear someone in comments say you would be my neighbour?? That on its own is enough to make me sign away. Hugs to Marianne and you mate.
Hello again James, please be my guest, or Instagram @farmerforfun 😊 💕 Yes hehe, we live not too far from there, hey, maybe we will trade veggies over the fence 😂 Much love, look forward to hearing from you! Joseph
