A very interesting property and a great project for the émigré do-it-yourselfer, or anyone else for that matter. Certainly you could live in that house while you remodeled and got the property into shape. The well organized tour was also helpful and entertaining. Thank you. It's fascinating to see these smallholdings where the old peasant families sweated a living off their little plots . I feel it honors their memory to bring these old stone and schist buildings back to life.
Ken and Gina, i so appreciate how thoughtful and thorough you are with your property tours. It's like being with your bff who you know is going be objective and call out benefits as well as concerns. I this this is so valuable to shoppers and likely helps others learn what to look for even if they don't know they're looking yet. 😉
Hi. I think the room close the new kitchen was a storage room. These boxes looks like the boxes where my gra- grand parents stored the meat and fish in salt. They were from Beira Baixa, Sertã
Amazing property with so much potential! I'd be so tempted to make bottom field and house into a camping area with kitchen and bathroom, and perhaps if there's space, an Air B and B.
Here is my armchair "virtual renovation": First, I'd try to get them to come down from 50k, every little bit helps. (Let's say they come down to $45k, but there are RE fees to pay, so the place is mine for $50k.) I am assuming the legal work is done and I have the paperwork in order and I'll guess the atty cost and any permit fees or payments will come to $10k. This might seem a lot but let's say it also covers straightening things out with the local water & elec utilities (ie, unpaid bills, hookup charges, meter improvements, etc.) Then, I see an immediate need for a truck rental, or perhaps rent a guy with a truck. There's so much junk laying around it's kind of hard to see what you're working with. Haul it all off and be done with it. Clean out the houses and storage buildings. It's best to start with a clean slate. There might be 10 x 10-yd loads of crap to take away. Salvage anything useful since there's room to store it, but don't be shy about loading up the dump trucks. This could cost about $5k for truck + labor + dump fees. At the same time, I'll look into getting a permit to burn on-site anything that will burn. I am assuming that this is possible. Start building that pile, I'd guess burning in the winter is all that's allowable, so this is something to do now. Hire some cheap labor to build a burn pile or three and pile up all the useless rotten wood and other debris, cut out any dead or dying trees, clear the unwanted brush and brambles, remove trees that are out of place, etc. Let any green wood dry for a month and then burn it. Say $4k for labor and permit. By now, the place is looking cleaner. I'd start now to look at the utilities. Get a local electrician to walk through with you and figure out anything that needs to be upgraded. Is the main meter ok? Are there panels that can still be used, or will those need to be replaced? What about the well pump? It's old - does it need replacing? Does the elec supply for the pump need any work? I'd guess there will be a list of things to do that I'll need to prioritize. At this point, I'll probably zero in on one of the houses to concentrate on and also make sure the well pump is working. I'll guess there's a lot to do, because the place is old, and about $15k will make a start, and that includes replacing the well pump. I'd next want to establish a secure storage space where I could store tools and supplies. Assume this can be done in the one of the existing buildings. This could mean some upgrades - hardening the door(s), new lighting (inside and outside) and shelving. Security cameras. Assume $3.5k. If I had started all of the above today (1/15/2022), it would have taken 2-3 months, so now it's time to get a garden going. I'd hire somebody local to till a nice plot and haul in some compost so I could get a nice garden going for summer. I already made sure the on-site irrigation supply is working, so I'd invest a bit more in some fencing, drip irrigation, vegetable starts, etc - assume $2k. Then I'd focus on making one of the dwellings liveableand secure . I'd pick the one that would be the best to carry into next winter with new insulation, new windows and doors, electrical upgrades, a new woodstove, new plumbing fixtures, new paint/plaster, new furnishings, etc. I'd try to keep this under $30k. By now it's late summer 2022. I have spent (50 + 10 + 5 + 4 + 15 + 3 + 2 + 30 =) $119k on the place and it has a liveable dwelling and is much improved. Now I can plan for next year, think about building a greenhouse, making some nice outdoor living spaces, planting fruit trees, getting some chickens, a guard dog, solar panels, etc etc. I will need a GoFundMe. I wonder what the neighbors are like....?
The electricity in the main house, with the old switches and stuff, has to be redone completely that's for sure. The wires and switches are too old, not safe. But is not an enormous big project. Maybe $2-3k max..The $10k you calculated for attorney, the water/meters/papers will be less. It will be more around. $5k i think (not dollars actually euro's😀). But all together you have a good plan. (50k euro's is about $57.050) . Anyway. The first thing i would also do, would be cleaning up the place. Buy a tractor or hire a tractor. Knock down the useless storage "buildings". Not the house and the garage of course. Take all the stuff away or burn it, the city will probably have a place, a location, where you can bring it, or even possible they come to pick it up... And well, before changing the electricity in the house, it's better to first rearrange some rooms, knock out a few walls or make doors from one to another room. To many small rooms. But for this price and budget with some work, you could have a fantastic place there to live. Even for this price it would be just a great holiday home. The second part of land with the extra house is also nice, you could rent this to people as a place for holidays, or for family members. Biggest problem of the whole project is to get the papers to make it legally to live there, i think. You can live there of course without the paperwork. But better to have this fixed.
@@hectorberlingo800 Hola, Hector. I have no idea what things cost in Portugal. (Big wild card is the atty work there - with luck it could be pretty straightforward and they wouldn't run up the fees.) I have done a bit of this type of thing in the US, though. One thing I learned: don't be shy about spending money up front to get things to a useable (or sellable) state. But that's just me - I ain't no spring chicken. Generally, when you're young, you have more time than money, and when you're older, you got more money than time. Anyway, if you have the place cleaned up, the utilities in good order, and a place to keep warm during the first winter, you could attack all the other projects at a more leisurely pace. Thanks to OKPortugal for showing this one - it looks like a bargain to me, just right for someone who can do some of the work. A little bit of cleanup will go a long way with this one.
@Heartsongsutube yeah, raised beds are cool. I know one thing about them, though - in a hot, dry climate they will dry out quite a bit faster than a garden at ground level. But, to each his own. Don't forget the pool, though, even if only a small one. Summers are brutal there.
You could turn in it to a tourist attraction with a group of small people living there. Buy a small tractor, a small grasmower, some small horses, small pigs ( they do exist). Well everything small, small appletrees small peartrees. Just kidding. Or just put in a few bigger doors, and enlarge some rooms. And live there yourself.
What a super video so we’ll explained with the measurements and details of the electric and windows etc etc also the legal stuff of rustic and habitable was very informative and interesting You also have a very nice voice so it’s pleasurable to hear you talk Great video and Thankyou A
You should do courses for real estate agents. Because you do a review of everything regarding buildings and land. One feels well-informed after your review. And certainly gives reason to reflect on whether I should take the plunge in a few years when I retire.
The property tours are well done. Ken you tell it like it is. The beauty and the beast. That's valuable information. Thank you for the tour. All the best.👍👍👍👍 Jim and Harriet. Richmond, Va.
Definite potential. Small holding and Air B&B. Best value property you have documented so far. If I was in your area just now I would be viewing this one.
Great tour, Ken. Very good summary of pros/cons. I always wonder where all the detritus that needs hauling away actually goes! I wonder if it wouldn't be smart to make an offer contingent on the return of those rural articles to urban status.
Uma propriedade muito boa. No meu caso, uma reforma tão grande me assusta. Para quem tem o dom de fazer reformas ou pelo menos, de fazer uma boa supervisão, pode transformar tudo numa linda propriedade! Esses muros e paredes de pedra são lindos, merecem um belo projeto de renovação! Muito bacana!
Thats a really nice sized property to live on and keep the maintenance manageable. That top left piece of neighbours land is crying out to be absorbed into this one but might be too expensive because of the two houses on it.
I see I am 5 months too late viewing this property, I would have been very interested, so much potential. Do you ever go back to these properties you show and do an update ? I think a lot of people would love to see how these old properties get transformed
Loved the tour of this property! So much potential! Did you happen to get a new toy for Christmas? That is a very handy tool that measures up a room for you.... any chance you can throw in a link as to where you got it? Love watching your property tours, you go the extra mile that gives us a great understanding of the property!
Great video Ken, it's very interesting to see what you can get for your money and if you have the ability, you can get a fantastic home ocne renovated for very good value
Interesting property. Lots of work for you or a contractor. Many of those structures will have to come down. Are rats a problem in this area? Who knows, this could be the right persons dream home! Thanks, Ken and Gina.
I'm not filming with a phone. I have a special led light panel to attach to my camera for lighting but i forgot to unplug it from the charger when I left to film this video 😅
ok the village doesn't look like people live there no car drives, no one on the street or in the garden please tell me is it possible it is an abandoned village because in the evening it's the hardest when you hear noises from everywhere, nobody says good morning to you, not even in paradise alone
Good Morning, thank you for the great content! Is it possible to purchase this from overseas and then hire contractors to build a new home and maintenance the land? I notice on a lot of these videos it seems the new owners have to do it themselves?
Yes you can do a lot yourself. As long as you are not making big changes to the structure of the house or building. You can't just make extra windows or doors in the outer walls, without a license. Or make the house higher or wider. That is not allowed. Inside you can do almost everything basically. (except 1 thing, for safety reasons you can not just remove every inside wall, some walls can be essential for a building).
Типичная для Португалии картина. Вся жизнь в Фару и Лиссабоне. Там цены минимум в двадцать раз выше. Поэтому покупая участок нужно в первую очередь думать о местоположении а не о цене. Ведь вложить придётся в него даже больше чем на берегу, учитывая логистику. А продать потом нереально.
The difference between urban and rustic or non urban is the tax. More urban space you have, big house swimming pool, you will pay more tax. So you don’t want to convert the rustic area into urban although the tax is not so expensive like in other european countries. Also portuguese people speaks English, making your life easier.

We have lived in Castelo Branco for over 2 years now and it hasn't even reached 40c in summer yet. In some areas of Alentejo and Beja they will see high temperatures of 45c but its not as hot in Castelo Branco according to Google.
@@OKportugal one of the vanlife guys was reporting 40c last November, so I assume it depends on where you live. These open areas certainly get hot and I guess you are talking about shade temperatures and there aint much shade there.
@@allanb52 I go on the official weather reports. You can see the historic high and low temperature records for all the different areas of portugal online. It definitely does not reach 40c in Portugal in November. It can potentially get that hot in July or August though. I also see people posting photos on Instagram or Facebook showing their car dashboard reading some silly high number when I know for a fact its not that hot that day. I guess they don't realise that leaving a car in the sun will give false readings or they just want attention 😅
@@OKportugal the dashboard temperatures monitor temperatures at the sensor. If the sensor is in the sun the effects of solar gain will be shown. So I assume that is what they saw. Many of these properties have very little shade so you will see high temperatures. I am lucky enough to own a well insulated house with no need for a fan, let alone A/C so it really depends where you are. I have also noticed that on a day where we are seeing a shade temp of 28, 10km up the road it is 35. As I have stated, these are all exposed properties.
O distrito de castelo branco é o mais barato, principalmente se a terra não for de boa qualidade. A viver por aí só mesmo os mais velhos, infelizmente. Abraço desde Aveiro Portugal 🇵🇹
Bom dia Alfredo, tenho planos de comprar um lugar como esse, como vc disse a area de Castelo Branco e a mais barato, como vou saver si a terra e boa para plantar?
I like the way you work, realy very good en the right info! But i lived as a European in Portugal for 7 month and went back to Brazil! My opinion about Portugal beautifull landscape depending where you live the temepratures are a little better in Winter ( not everywhere). Negative: Housing , Rent, Low salaries , Portugues are not as friendly as other European natives and they explore Forgein people by paying less then normal! Sorry for my English.
Very Little Roms With a legal situation that you can’t live in there. In Portugal this will take you min. 10 years to be able to live in there. And than starts the starts the renovation
Wow , 50k euro gets you a shed , orange 🍊 tree , whole bunch of rubbish and a lovely kitchen I. The middle of bum fack nowhere 😂😂😂😂 North Dakota usa 🇺🇸 “ hold my beer and give me 1000$ “
50k for a abounded house in middle of nowhere in Portugal sold by a dutch person !!!. No way, this house where it is, and the condition's that It have worth no more then a max of 20k. Now, be very aware every time you be dealing with a dutch person, they take others for stupid, and there are extremely unresponsable , you dealing with people who love corruption. The property have potential, I offer you 25k.
Detailed video. Well done Ken. House for those under 5 ft tall - the wall is pretty thick to raise the doorways. New doors and many new additional windows to put in. Needs costing out

Your very thorough on the details,I think the property has lots of potential.
Wow Ken and Gina that property is very very good Value for that money 💰 it's soo beautiful that land. Thanks for sharing. Angelo
Great tour as usual. So much potential. Sure wish we were 20 years younger.
Nice little property needs work for sure. Perfect for someone who has building skills.🙂👍👍

Very good, detailed video I could see myself over there easlily to progress with the project. Many thanks for it.

Good for you, Ken.
Here is my armchair "virtual renovation":
First, I'd try to get them to come down from 50k, every little bit helps. (Let's say they come down to $45k, but there are RE fees to pay, so the place is mine for $50k.) I am assuming the legal work is done and I have the paperwork in order and I'll guess the atty cost and any permit fees or payments will come to $10k. This might seem a lot but let's say it also covers straightening things out with the local water & elec utilities (ie, unpaid bills, hookup charges, meter improvements, etc.)
Then, I see an immediate need for a truck rental, or perhaps rent a guy with a truck. There's so much junk laying around it's kind of hard to see what you're working with. Haul it all off and be done with it. Clean out the houses and storage buildings. It's best to start with a clean slate. There might be 10 x 10-yd loads of crap to take away. Salvage anything useful since there's room to store it, but don't be shy about loading up the dump trucks. This could cost about $5k for truck + labor + dump fees.
At the same time, I'll look into getting a permit to burn on-site anything that will burn. I am assuming that this is possible. Start building that pile, I'd guess burning in the winter is all that's allowable, so this is something to do now.

Say $4k for labor and permit.
By now, the place is looking cleaner. I'd start now to look at the utilities. Get a local electrician to walk through with you and figure out anything that needs to be upgraded. Is the main meter ok? Are there panels that can still be used, or will those need to be replaced? What about the well pump? It's old - does it need replacing? Does the elec supply for the pump need any work? I'd guess there will be a list of things to do that I'll need to prioritize. At this point, I'll probably zero in on one of the houses to concentrate on and also make sure the well pump is working. I'll guess there's a lot to do, because the place is old, and about $15k will make a start, and that includes replacing the well pump.

Assume $3.5k.
If I had started all of the above today (1/15/2022), it would have taken 2-3 months, so now it's time to get a garden going. I'd hire somebody local to till a nice plot and haul in some compost so I could get a nice garden going for summer. I already made sure the on-site irrigation supply is working, so I'd invest a bit more in some fencing, drip irrigation, vegetable starts, etc - assume $2k.
Then I'd focus on making one of the dwellings liveableand secure . I'd pick the one that would be the best to carry into next winter with new insulation, new windows and doors, electrical upgrades, a new woodstove, new plumbing fixtures, new paint/plaster, new furnishings, etc. I'd try to keep this under $30k.
By now it's late summer 2022. I have spent (50 + 10 + 5 + 4 + 15 + 3 + 2 + 30 =) $119k on the place and it has a liveable dwelling and is much improved. Now I can plan for next year, think about building a greenhouse, making some nice outdoor living spaces, planting fruit trees, getting some chickens, a guard dog, solar panels, etc etc. I will need a GoFundMe.

Some people are short, this would be ideal for them.
this would be a great place for short people, interesting they valued lots of small little spaces instead of bigger open spaces
You could turn in it to a tourist attraction with a group of small people living there. Buy a small tractor, a small grasmower, some small horses, small pigs ( they do exist).
Well everything small, small appletrees small peartrees.

Love your optimism Ken but this house is seriously depressing!
The new kitchen🤦🏼♂ "quite dated" #prehistoric🤣
It is like going back in time 😅 I'm sure the right buyer will see the potential in those buildings and turn them into something amazing 😁👍
and that's reflected in the price. If it was up to standard, price would most likely be double.

Aren’t building supply expensive in Portugal?
Can you, if you have the skills of course, do your own electrical, plumbing, etc?
Apparently costs for supplies are similarish to other European countries and yes I guess you can do the work yourself.
Yes you can do a lot yourself. As long as you are not making big changes to the structure of the house or building. You can't just make extra windows or doors in the outer walls, without a license.

(except 1 thing, for safety reasons you can not just remove every inside wall, some walls can be essential for a building).
how much would a reasonable budget amount to fix the house and make the garden great again ?
I really don't know the answer off hand but If you are interested in the place you can bring a builder to give you a quote.
Very nice
Thnx a mil ...wieird building:-)
Yes it's a strange layout but I think the right buyer will be able to renovate it into an awesome home 😊
Типичная для Португалии картина. Вся жизнь в Фару и Лиссабоне. Там цены минимум в двадцать раз выше. Поэтому покупая участок нужно в первую очередь думать о местоположении а не о цене. Ведь вложить придётся в него даже больше чем на берегу, учитывая логистику. А продать потом нереально.
The difference between urban and rustic or non urban is the tax. More urban space you have, big house swimming pool, you will pay more tax. So you don’t want to convert the rustic area into urban although the tax is not so expensive like in other european countries. Also portuguese people speaks English, making your life easier.
Gud infarmtion
does portugal alllow air bnb?? That's 65k Euros in repairs??
Are you a realtor?
Can you tell me what is the commission?
To purchase a home there.
No, we are independent property video tour reviewers, who work primarily for buyers who can't visit properties here in person.
@@OKportugal and what is your fee?
@@Evertraveller we don't earn commission from the sale of the properties. If a buyer wants to buy a property here but can't visit in person, they can hire us to film a private virtual tour. The price depends on how long the video will take us to complete. Email us a link to a property that you are interested in and we can give you a price upfront - okportugal@hotmail.com
How easy is it to get the urban certification? Anyone ?
Superb buildings, beautiful area. Name of village Ken?

You’d think I can’t read! 😳
Delightful but the legal status is an issue.
This is the hottest part of Portugal, seeing temperatures of 45c, so growing stuff is not that easy.
We have lived in Castelo Branco for over 2 years now and it hasn't even reached 40c in summer yet. In some areas of Alentejo and Beja they will see high temperatures of 45c but its not as hot in Castelo Branco according to Google.
@@OKportugal one of the vanlife guys was reporting 40c last November, so I assume it depends on where you live. These open areas certainly get hot and I guess you are talking about shade temperatures and there aint much shade there.
@@allanb52 I go on the official weather reports. You can see the historic high and low temperature records for all the different areas of portugal online.
It definitely does not reach 40c in Portugal in November. It can potentially get that hot in July or August though.
I also see people posting photos on Instagram or Facebook showing their car dashboard reading some silly high number when I know for a fact its not that hot that day. I guess they don't realise that leaving a car in the sun will give false readings or they just want attention 😅
@@OKportugal the dashboard temperatures monitor temperatures at the sensor. If the sensor is in the sun the effects of solar gain will be shown. So I assume that is what they saw. Many of these properties have very little shade so you will see high temperatures. I am lucky enough to own a well insulated house with no need for a fan, let alone A/C so it really depends where you are. I have also noticed that on a day where we are seeing a shade temp of 28, 10km up the road it is 35. As I have stated, these are all exposed properties.
I love it 😍
Nice house
It looks like there was a Very old Hobbit living there 😅
The two off you could do this conversation in Dutch.
Hi Ken
Is this property still for sale please?
Sorry its sold already
thanks for letting me know, someone has got a fantastic deal hopefully you’ll come across another gem like this if you do please can you message me x
A condensação não é por falta de habitantes, mas sim infiltrações do telhado ok
Right in my budget that
Until the renovation starts and additional costs mounts up.
Nice
O distrito de castelo branco é o mais barato, principalmente se a terra não for de boa qualidade.
A viver por aí só mesmo os mais velhos, infelizmente.
Abraço desde Aveiro Portugal 🇵🇹
Bom dia Alfredo, tenho planos de comprar um lugar como esse, como vc disse a area de Castelo Branco e a mais barato, como vou saver si a terra e boa para plantar?
@@marcosnascimento4701 não há como visitar.
Um engenheiro agrónomo também pode ajudar.
Espero que faça a opção certa
Abraço desde Aveiro
Think that corrugated iron roof is actually corrugated asbestos 😂😂
Break it down, and rebuild it on your own taste, I suggest 🌴☀️🇵🇹
There's a bunch of options for someone who wants a, project 😁👍
A lot of work, but a lot of property for 50,000€. Quirky.
Nice land, but what a confusing house
I like the way you work, realy very good en the right info! But i lived as a European in Portugal for 7 month and went back to Brazil! My opinion about Portugal beautifull landscape depending where you live the temepratures are a little better in Winter ( not everywhere).
Negative: Housing , Rent, Low salaries , Portugues are not as friendly as other European natives and they explore Forgein people by paying less then normal! Sorry for my English.
Very Little Roms With a legal situation that you can’t live in there.
In Portugal this will take you min. 10 years to be able to live in there. And than starts the starts the renovation
Can't you just bribe somebody to get the permits?
Stop by jasper property he will like see you 👍
Wow , 50k euro gets you a shed , orange 🍊 tree , whole bunch of rubbish and a lovely kitchen I. The middle of bum fack nowhere 😂😂😂😂
North Dakota usa 🇺🇸 “ hold my beer and give me 1000$ “
heh the price of similar place was 10 times lower i believe 10 years ago.
50k for a abounded house in middle of nowhere in Portugal sold by a dutch person !!!.
No way, this house where it is, and the condition's that It have worth no more then a max of 20k. Now, be very aware every time you be dealing with a dutch person, they take others for stupid, and there are extremely unresponsable , you dealing with people who love corruption. The property have potential, I offer you 25k.
who buys something like that for so much money
A dwarven settlement!
Detailed video. Well done Ken.
House for those under 5 ft tall - the wall is pretty thick to raise the doorways. New doors and many new additional windows to put in. Needs costing out
I'd demolish it and build new.
The whole house needs to be totally renovated or remodeled. Please do not sugarcoat it and lower your credibility.
