Wow guys, awesome video, I am offering my services to restore that beautiful stone oven, I love it!! and would love to give it the careful restoration that it deserves, take care of your back Luke❤️Great work on the map btw
I started to watch your videos when I was living in Paris, then I moved to the countryside in France, and today I am in the Algarve where I opened a cabinet as a reglexologist. But my goal is to find a place like yours to build my cabane and garden. So it is always a pleasure to learn and to dream looking at you. Thank you guys 🙏 Have a lovely week-end. 😉
Hi Luke and Sarah. I have been watching you for several years and always enjoy your stories and adventures. I especially like the tour you made for us today with the map. It makes it all make more sense now with the perspective. Molly and Timmy are a hoot.
I am so happy you enjoyed the tour, I have been wanting to make this video for a while .I want you to be able to picture the route we take and where we are x x x
Your land is breathtaking and full of treasures! So much variety, from ruins to waterfalls. You should post a video of the soothing sound of your waterfall and river. UA-camrs listen to these to relax, meditate or help with sleep.
It is really beautiful and with enough potential to last a lifetime, its nice to see you slowly develop parts as well as bit by bit getting parts of it more accessible, do hope you will still be uncovering hidden gems I 25 years time. Keep at it and the best of luck.
The map of the land really helps out with understanding just how epic your land is! Enjoyed the tour with you both. Wondered how the river was flowing after all the rain, not possible to cross to get to Sabrinas now? Baby goats!!! How exciting.
The river is even fuller today and water is now also passing from under the watermill , everywhere looks so lush and no , not possible to go to Sabrina anymore until probably march or April we will have to drive there next time we need to go there .
Loved the tour !! And nice map… loved the animation to orientate where you’re at. And so nice you got the much needed rain and springs flooding your land to get it ready for next summer 😉 And indeed whenever you cut down the bramble you discover new hidden jewels and you are not even half way… so a lot to discover 😊
Was curious what you'd do in this new series, but u guys smashed it ! Could watch all night . Its very helpful to see where everything is . Really enjoyed them guys :)
Next time you give a tour maybe include a drone tour. Arial views would absolutely be fantastic. What a beautiful picture of the earth you have chosen to be shepperds of. Thanks for the tour it does give us a better perspective of how you are coming along in your management of the land and what an undertaking it is.
Thanks for showing your land mass. It is massive but worth every penny. Like all the boulders and their placement. It takes a lot not only to clear the land but more thought in locations of features your wanting. It is beautiful. And a great deal you got.
Love seeing your land. Glad to see at this time of yr at least you have plenty of running water. All those boulders and stone..magical place. The sky must be awesome by night, xx
Of all the Portugal vlogs and for sale videos I've watched, (and I've watched mant !), Your property hands down is the most beautiful, interesting, diverse, .....I could go on and on. It's no wonder the two of you are so overjoyed ! Oh ya, and the funniest goats I've seen LOL.
Sarah I have always loved your and Luke's farm, it has superb energy, it is almost like that land knows, it has good custodians, so chuffed to hear that Wobbles has made turn around for the better. 💜🤗
Broad beans stems sometimes go black if splashed repeatedly with lots of water - eg careless watering or heavy rain, so the beans in the woodland garden may have been affected by the heavy rain you had recently. The peas looked okay but we only saw them for an instant! You should close up on the plant for a bit longer if you want people to comment! :))
I've watched this tour before and now, once more. The sound of that rushing water is magical. PS Just remembered what that music reminds me of : "Jeeves and Wooster." theme .
I loved your land long way before you show us all this… is absolutely beautiful, with the character and mystery, sounds and magic of ancient places… enjoy it and may all your wishes come true ….
Like both of you, your land is amazing! But all the work it demands to achieve is full glory is even more amazing! I wich you all the strengt and courage to do it. And, as a portuguese , I m iust thank you for choosing our country to live. Have a good and invigorating Christmas.
Olá! It always a delight to see your land. But it’s going to really be hard work. I was imagining that guided tours could be a away of quick income to advance with your projects? Take care!
Thank you Sarah & Luke for the amazing trip around your beautiful acreage in Portugal! It was great to have a picture of where you take the animals on your daily walks. The one thing I'd like to know is where is Sabrina's land in relation to yours?
Thank you for the map it helps 21:37 us understand the where of the videos! I am wondering if there are topographic maps available for your area? (The US has these for the whole country.) If so they might show you what the land is shaped like under the brambles. Glad to see Luke using walking sticks. I hope his back is getting stronger and less painful.
Sarah & Luke, I discovered you from the other website. Thank you for lots of information, wisdom and fun. I am trying to decide from choosing between Spain and Portugal. You are inspirational and thank you for sharing your journey.
@@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife I stumbled on your YT channel from FrankieOffGrid. Both are inspiring and make one think of the courage and hard work it takes to realise such a dream. Watching your 1st video prodded me to continue looking for a plot of land. Thank you for all the tips.
I think it was just a cheese farm and they had people arriving here to work everyday. Our 85 year old neighbours used to work here 50 years ago .❤️

@@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife Ok, that makes sense. I see a lot of that at different UA-camrs' homesteads in Portugal... lots of ruins of barns, sheds, etc. but few homes for the original landowners. I would guess the wealthier people who owned a lot of land would build their homes closer to towns & cities, where there's more amenities. Right?
Hi guys, what a great tour of your beautiful land 😍 also really happy that wobble is doing great 👍 👌 😀 and it looks like Timmy also had the time of his life. Having a walk just with the both of you and Molly. All of us can't wait to see what is going to happen next 😉🥰👍
So happy you enjoyed it x x Timmy did enjoy the walk until we got to the river , he got scared of the fast river and wanted to go home 🤣I didn't want to take the goats into the secret garden so I left them at home
@@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife yeah , you're wild river can be scary for Timmy. But it didn't bother Molly so much 😉 I have to admit, when we go for a walk with the dogs...that I'm scared the strong current will take them with him...and it's freezing cold 🥶
I have a much better idea now that I can see your layout. I had no idea 17 hectares was 42 acres! That is a lot of land. Would you be able to split it up and sell pieces off if you found you didn't want that much land. It is all so beautiful I would have a hard time choosing.
No we wouldn't be able to do that and we would never even want to do that because every bit has something special x x I know it , there are beauties in the great unknown too waiting to be discovered x
hey dear luke and sara,many thanks for another great video here. I Have a quastion : seans I on my journey to off grid living in portugal, please tell me, I've got an info based about the corrent situation in the world and portugal sadly to say is one of the counries that into the nwo. and also its boumd to the evil UN . do you have any info about how much it will be still posible to be and keep living off grid peacfullly and quiet also in the neer future ? do you know or heard ,maybe from onther people on land's that they got some restrictions apon theire lands ? i know what will happen in the cities tho.. go off grid is the only solution first of all well, i hope you undarstood my quastion . thanks and keep up your dreem.
Hi! As long as you have a habitation license on the property you buy you will be fine. Having said that there are many people here living on properties that aren't legal. I have heard that the authorities are cracking down on such properties especially in the Algarve and the silver coast. I would guess that the time will come when they start enforcing some laws here too.
Why is this vlog so slow, keeps buffering? Tried multiple times, watched a few of your other videos which run fine, but this one is a problem. Is YT throttling you?
@@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife Quick response, thanks. It is weird, because i just watched the washing machine/bicycle episode fine, but clicking through onto the next one "How I built a cheap geodesic dome to use as a trellis in the garden", is buffering again. I'll keep trying. I'm enjoying your videos.

I love your rocks and ruins, and the bread oven, what is really special is the way your animals follow you around.

Sarah and Luke, Your property is breathtaking. Thanks for featuring Timmy. I love seeing him.
You re most welcome . When we got to the river he moaned because he wanted to head home, it was too crazy for little Timmy 🤣

The Lord blessed you with amazing and beautiful property!
Wow, loved this walk and I didn’t even have to leave my armchair!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
The map looks like middle earth, waiting for the next Hobbit and Orcs.😀
Love this x x
I LOVED the walk through your land! ❤ It really does help showing us a map of specific areas, I can’t wait to watch you uncover the rest 😊❤
So happy to have you here with us as we uncover land and find all these new gems underneath
That land is amazing. I love all the boulders. What a bargain for that property. Keep up the good work
Thanks xx the boulders are my favourite too X x
Molly and Timmy are such great walking companions! Thank you for the beautiful tour of your land. Happy Holidays!
Our pleasure Nina x Happy you enjoyed it x
What a beautiful piece of land you have!!!❤️
Thank you x x
Amazing. Brilliant. Gorgeous. A Blessing. And the map is a real gift to us all. (Remarkable how Timmy makes the whole journey with such ease.)
He did complain loads while we were by the river as he wanted to go home but no one was keeping him there 🤣

Do you get a watercress growing along your waterways. Love watercress soup and love it in salad, too. 🌻
We do have watercress in a few places but the little pigs beat us to it 😁
Absolutely stunning landscape great vlog guys
Glad you enjoyed it

Incredible land! No wonder you keep saying that it’s your paradise ❤❤❤❤
I found your channel yesterday today my second day watching. Your land brings me to tears. It's so beautiful. I love it.

So happy to be able to share our progress with you x x

I've watched this tour before and now, once more. The sound of that rushing water is magical.
PS Just remembered what that music reminds me of : "Jeeves and Wooster." theme .
I will have to look up that music Carol 😁

Olá! It always a delight to see your land. But it’s going to really be hard work. I was imagining that guided tours could be a away of quick income to advance with your projects? Take care!
Guided tours sound like much more hard work than clearing land 🤣🤣
Amizing land you have 🤙all the best ❤
Brilliant tour, thank you. Potential of winter electric from the river......
Yes but the river is dry for at least 3 months out of the year
Thank you Sarah & Luke for the amazing trip around your beautiful acreage in Portugal! It was great to have a picture of where you take the animals on your daily walks. The one thing I'd like to know is where is Sabrina's land in relation to yours?
You are welcome and Sabrina lives just across the river😁
Thank you for the map it helps 21:37 us understand the where of the videos!

Such a beautiful piece of paradise, it has everything 😍 How much for yearly costs on 40 acres of land? Is there a ground tax?
At the moment it is barely anything but as soon as we restore the ruin it will get re-evaluated and we will find out and share it with you x x x
👍 This helps orient everything on your land a lot. Was there a ruin for an old, original house, or did the people live on a different plot of land?
I think it was just a cheese farm and they had people arriving here to work everyday. Our 85 year old neighbours used to work here 50 years ago .❤️

How did people access the water mill to mill corn? It seems that Timmy has no problem. Did they use cats with backpacks? 😆
There are paths going down tobthe river they are just covered in bushes. Probably used to get around the land with a horse and cart back then.😁
Did you intend to release 4 videos all at once?
Yes .It is a small series to help introduce others who might want this life to life in Portugal and tips and stuff 😁
