How much land did we buy in Portugal?

- We decided to make two videos of the property because the house tour was already getting long. This is the land tour of our property showing everything that is on it. We also talk about some of the things we will add to the land in the future like chickens, more fruit trees, and possibly a pond.
The land is just over 3,000 m2 which should be more than enough to do all the things we wish to do in the future. What do you think of the property? Is it too big or too small? How would you organize the land?
Leave a comment below and let us know what you think of the land and if you haven't seen the house yet, you can watch that video here: • We bought a 213 year o...

Hope you let the neighbors continue to use the land while you work on the house. Exchange veggies for rent. Trying to do both, house and land would be a bit much
Mooie grote tuin,daar kan je heel wat van maken!
Regarding the Bees and Compost. From our experience, Bees do not like freshly dug up compost, it triggers their attack mode and stings everything in the area.(we have to dig our compost at night for that reason) So keep the bees and compost at least 20m away, preferably other side of the property and upwind. But best of luck.. looks like awesome project!
Good to know about the bees. We will have to do more research and find a good spot for everything.
Very very Happy you chose Portugal. I wish you all the best and look forward to watching your videos on your homastead. 😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
New sub. ❤
Looking forward to seeing your journey. We dream of doing the same because we love Portugal.
Welcome aboard!
Espetacular a vossa casa e quintal, agora é só começar a reconstruir, boa sorte ❤
Thank you! We will start rebuilding it.
Welcome to Portugal. 🎉 Me and my wife are watching every video. If you have questions about anything in Portugal please feel free to ask. I recognise that mountain range as i live on the other side of it. Hope you guys take some time to visit the area and share you thoughts about it. Cheers. 👍
Thanks for the support! I'm sure we'll have lots of questions as we continue on this adventure. I'm impressed that you recognize the mountains! Once we're a bit more settled, we will definitely explore the area and country.
lovely land, looks like enough to have self sufficiency for a family.
Yes, we think the land will be enough. It feels like a lot and it will be fun to work and learn how to grow crops on it.
good idea for videos to grow plants and may have animals
Congrats M & Y. What an amazing transition from China to Portugal. Love the house so I wish you luck on this wonderful and ambitious adventure. I'll be watching a long the way and wish you well.
Thanks for the wishes. We are excited to get started on this big change!
It’s always a different feeling when u owned ur land
A LOT of work! (And look forward to see your progression)
Yes, it will be a lot of work. But step by step we will work on it and hopefully make it nice.
a lot work to do, good exercise
It sure is! We will be busy
The wiring along the garden pathway to the house is for grapevines, or vines for peas (grandfather’s garden had them) or flowers. Check you local green house growers. Sometimes local markets sell plants also. Anxiously watching from Canada❤Make grape jam or jellies
Awesome to have you here! We believe there were more grape vines in the past and hopefully we can add more or use the pathway for something else.
You have lots of balls to take on a sutch project 👏👏 good luck guys 🙏🙏
Thank you! it is a big project but we will chip away at it over time.
Lot of arable land. You will need all that space if going to grow some of what you eat. Takes a lot lot of space. Such an exciting plan.
Yes, we are looking forward to start growing things next spring!
Citrustree roots, I read they possible keep close to houses n underground pipes because the citrustree adopt to how much space it has in the ground and do not break pipes. I dont know if it really is so its maybe smght you can read too about. Compared to appletrees that will grow big n break pipes in ground can not grow next to such installations.
Good to know, we will have to look into it and see if we can keep the tree there.
Its very difficult change place of citrustrees because if the roots are impacted in any way the tree will go into transplantation chock n loss a lot of leaves n so on. I only have citrustrees in pots n its difficult repot even such small citrustrees cz if 1 root falls of then it start to shed leafs. Maybe it also depends on what sort of citrustree. I think if you want to save the growing citrustree then its best keep it where it is since its roots adopt to not expand and break pipes. But read about it because I am not professional on this.
Okay, sounds like we should look into it more. Thanks for the information. Better to looking into more before we lose the tree, because we really like lemons!
Fabulous property and land, really excited to follow and see how yous develop and renovate it 👍 Loads of hard work, but so much potential too 💗
I love STONES and the TILES used to build the house, solid and keeps the inside cooler in summer. I tough there was a second floor from the inside visit. Did I dream, or just not obvious from the outside? Your water plans are really a must, tiles are the best to collect water.
I was curious to know if you will start the babies. (feel free to ignore)
There are 3 stories to the house, the main level is what we showed and the upstairs/attic area. We didn't show the storage area or ground floor. No plans for children.
Bem vindos ao meu lindo país mais um inscrito ❤
Obrigado!
It's a lovely property
Good luck 😊
Here is located your property?
It' s lovely
Very good finding
I'm looking for having one too😊
We're in central Portugal, between Coimbra and Viseu.
How did you find this property? It"s lovely so much potential😊
Months of looking on multiple websites (idealista, ERA, ReMax, etc). It wasn't easy, we looked at about 15 properties before this one.
Explained and showed now in to videos, and I hope you see the problems not as problems, believe me...they exist...
But all in All we whant also to know how much you paied for!
Challenges and learning opportunities. That's what they are. 😀
We will talk about the price in a future video.
@@RootsandRestorations of course....if this is your Business. Thsnk you for the quick Answer
Please stop interrupting each other ... it's hard to follow you..but love your vidio's Good luck....and bless you....
Thanks for the feedback and wishes!
Just what we need, yet another YT channel of foreigners in Portugal...
Agreed, we also love watching channels about people following their dreams!
Just what we need, yet another Negative Nancy….
No one is forced to subscribe or watch, others may find the information useful.
New subscriber - ignore the negative Nancy’s 😂. My wife. And I have been homesteading in San Francisco Bay Area for 20 years. We spend a lot of time in China with her family when I’m not teaching and debating as to whether to try out hand homesteading in China part time on her families rural land in Hubei province. Portugal is awesome it has growing climate very similar to Northen CA. Homesteading is awesome !

70% self-sufficient and rebuild that house at the same time while living in a new country and filming and editing for YT? yeap, a bit delusional :) Maybe you could get there if you focus on the land but otherwise, just look at other YT channels that wanted to do the same. Time will fly and in no time you guys will see that. I really do wish you the best of luck, no matter how long it takes you because you've taken the first and most important step which is to start. :)
Lol yes, it might be a little delusional, but we will try our best.
How much would a house like this cost in Portugal?
We will talk about price in a future video, but it was under 100k euros.
What you could do is workaway so you ask people to work for you in exchange that they sleep there and get food from you.
That is a good idea. We are still trying to decide on how to move forward, since we just got here, but might need some help in the future.
Large enough to held a match/game for many to play soccer/football😅
lol we can start our own club!
Where did you buy , please share?
The property is in the Coimbra area
I’m from a small Hamlet near Cantanhede, maybe we’ll see you at the local Feiras. Best of luck, I’m in my sixties and have done house restoration/addition in the past, everything takes twice as long and costs twice as much, you will need lots of patience and good communication with each other, best of luck and look forward to following!
whereabout r u based? 🙂
We are in the Coimbra area
Pob lwc o Gymru ☺👍
