Beautiful! I have been dreaming of Portugal for a while now, so I am subscribing to your channel! I hope you love it and have a fabulous time! I am not sure where you are, but I watch the channel Farmer for Fun a lot, they seem like they would be happy to meet you too.
Miracles happen, you found the farm, it looks promising. It will be exciting to hear what the plan is. It looks like good agricultural land. But if the crop still fails, you can always have a glass of wine and a piece of cheese from Serra da Estrela while you look out over the farm and reminisce about life's many paths ...and detours Greetings and best wishes from Norway
HELLO. I AM 1 NEW FOLLOWER. WELCOME TO MY/YOUR COUNTRY PORTUGAL. I HAVE ONLY SEEN 2 VIDEOS AND LIKED IT. THEY HAVE INTERESTING TREES, THE OLIVE TREES ARE THE GREEN GOLD! THE APPLES ARE EUCALYPTUS AND MIMOSAS! THEY ARE INVASIVE SPECIES THAT EASILY COMBUSTE AND SPREAD FIRE! HUGS
I would expect to see a site at least marked out with stakes and a certified plan prepared for filing with the land registry. It is important to do this correctly as it is an expensive, time consuming and stressful head ache to deal with later.
@@Grandaddoesit Dont trust what the agent says (they lie)... get a independent lawyer, and make sure you know what you own and also if anyone has access over your land before you make plans and spend money
I think I mentioned in another post that I already have a solicitor. On my walking tour trying to find the farm when the pin jumped, I introduced myself to a few of the neighbors and had long chats with them about local rules and requirements. I never fully trust anyone that's trying to sell me something, I knew which plot of land I wanted, but still had the agent show me 5 and questioned him extensively about each, the one I wanted and bought isn't the one he was pushing most.
inform yourself better about usage of the well, sometimes neighbors have shared well usage; it's quite common in portugal. bring the "caderneta" with you and make a quick visit to the area "registo civil"(register) to confirm borders. good luck
I'm quite happy to allow my neighbors use the well, their land and number of olive trees is 1/3 of mine so I doubt it would cause a shortage, and I always like to be on good terms with neighbors even if it causes me minor inconvenience. Always better to make friends rather than enemies.
Going to have to be a tent for a while until I get that wall down, which won't be an easy quick task. It supports the edge of the road so I'll have to knock the wall down to level with the road then raise the inside to meet it, running downward parallel to the road. Pretty sure if I ask my neighbor with the larger gate that'd let me bring a caravan through their gate, but I'll still need my own access.
So that looks like the land is designated "rustic rural" are you planning to build on it.. as there are no ruins on your land. Having played the 90 day rule in 180... with land it is hard to achieve and you will either have to rent a car to get all the way out there from the airport. If you are in Castello Branco/Fundao it is nearly 3 hours drive we looked there it is so far from the airport. You need to try and get residency try the D8 visa (digital Nomad) or if you get a pension try that way. trying to maintain the property for the fire regulations by yourself will be difficult with the 90 day rule, so you will need to pay someone to do it for you. That building you showed has a 50m zone around it you will have to keep clear for fire protection. I wish you the best of luck it sounds like there are expats nearby so they will assist you.. but seriously find out exactly what you bought, cos someone will just put a tarmac road through your land for access as my neighbours discovered after returning from their 3 month visa break back in the UK.
Yes it is rustic rural and no plans to build on it, and 90 day rule for me for a while. Most people assume you can stay 90 days and have to return to the UK, I'll probably stay 30 days, return for 20 go back for 15 etc. depending on what needs done or what's happening at home. This will require paying careful attention at a tracking calendar so I don't accidently over stay. I'll time my trips out to coincide with things like olive harvest, spring ground clearing, relaxing holidays. I would like a few chickens or quail but until I have a residency visa that's not possible. The last 3 trips I have flown to Faro and driven the 5 1/2 hours, usually straight to the farm and taking a few days exploring Portugal on the way back due to limited flights to Porto at this time of the year. I also have plans to buy a Portuguese car so I can drive from Calais with my partners in crime (I have 2 cats). But I can't do that until I have an address to register it to. I also have an eye on a couple of small residential properties in the area but that's for the future.

When I was leaving I passed the agent on his way in to run tape between the markers, almost a straight rectangle apart from a loop around the well
