We are Ken & Gina. in 2019 we decided to take a big leap, sell everything, buy a motorhome, and drive with our pets to Portugal to start a new life. We bought a beautiful farm in Central Portugal where we live with 3 dogs, 2 cats and a bunch of other farm animals. Every week we release new episodes of our "Portugal Farm Life" where you can get an inside look at how we live here and adapt to the challenges of our new lives.

Hi Ken, I'm subscriber. I'm curious about Municipal property taxes, something I haven't heard you mention. Are taxes so low or maybe none because of a nationalized police and schools' system are provided by the country and not the town. As you know in the States the cities are responsible for providing for Police, Schools, Fire etc. and budgeted by the residents. I pay $15,000 a year, have heard that property taxes in Europe are almost next to nothing by only a few hundred dollars. Can you confirm? Thank You!

Thanks so much for detailed information. We are Dutch citizen and wonder what consequences and oblige apply for us to puchase this property. What is the distance from Rotterdam? Possibilities for maintenance during absence etc.
EVEN IF YOU HUMAN SLAVES FILL THIS ENTIRE PRISON WORLD WITH FICTION ( MONEY DIAMOND GOLD SILVER ) THAT STILL CAN'T MAKE LAND PRODUCE VEGETABLES WHY DO YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU NEED TO EARN & PAY FICTION ( MONEY ) TO BE ALIVE ? WHY DO YOU HUMAN SLAVES BELIEVE THAT ARCHONS RULING YOU CAN CREATE FICTION ( MONEY ) WHILE YOU NEED TO EARN & PAY FICTION ( MONEY ) TO BE ALIVE ? WHY DO YOU HUMAN SLAVES BELIEVE THAT FICTION ( MONEY ) IS REAL AND HAS VALUE ? WHY DO YOU HUMAN SLAVES BELIEVE THAT ( DIAMOND GOLD SILVER ) HAVE MORE VALUE THAN LAND & VEGETABLES ? ARCHONS RULING YOU HUMAN SLAVES CREATED FICTION ( MONEY ) TO MAKE YOU HUMAN SLAVES DO THE EVILS WHICH OTHERWISE YOU WOULD NEVER DO *
It’s beautiful too bad hubby is almost 70 it’s wants st Michael I would go to Portugal I wonder it i could talk him into this lol wild flowers are beautiful
When you see damp stains creeping up on the outside walls that tells that the foundation is not proper. That in turn points to a cheap build and most probably there are some other issues hidden. Ask me how I know.😅
hello ken , beautifull place! i need place like that , i have small camping car i want small granite stone house quite with terasse land 2 , 3 hectares , walles , roof ok ! 150000 max . in french i am in truffle agriculture
Wow Ken dit is n treffer. Wens ek was dertig jaar jonger . Groete vir Gina. Granny Strand Wes Kaap. Jou stief pa moet nou vir my n "jonk van gees" 75jarige teddie beer soek. Die winter is op ons en op my ouderdom kry n mens baie gou koud😅
I'm sure this will be snapped up soon ... a beautiful property at an affordable price! Love the architectural renderings and the fact that most of the paperwork is done. Love your videos, Ken, you really spark my imagination. I would love to see how the future buyer develops this property in a future video.
Hi Ken, you definitely have one of the best methods of presenting property on YT. Love how you are constanly letting us know where you are at on the property. Drone shots are seamless. Well done.
It is really helpful seeing you point out on the map where you are as you are walking around the property. Wish other RU-vidrs would do that too. You get a much better sense of the space. Thanks!
This property has a lot of land for a potential farmer to produce to be self sufficient and profitable if done right. With this property, is this in line with the price of what other properties of the same condition are? As always, Ken , You do a very good job in showcasing properties. All the best👍👍 Ciao ! Jim and Harriet
Thanks guys :) I think its a very good offer as I have seen properties with much less to offer and way higher asking prices. Considering the urban article, stone house, two wells, proximity to the village and cities. I think its a good deal for the right buyer.
Ken, thank you very much for a tour of this pretty and charming property… One thing I would consider helpful though would be to address the question of mains water/ electricity. Are they available for what seems a very rural property? It would be great if you could address this vital question in future videos of similar properties imho. Just a suggestion! Thanks for an otherwise excellent tour. 🩷🙏
Yes you are right! I did forget to mention this in this video! On this property there is no mains water but there are two wells. There is also potential for a deep borehole which could provide lot of clean water too. There is no mains electricity, but it is possible to contact the electricity provider and ask them for a quote to run electrical cable to the property from the nearest pylon. Alternatively this area has a lot of sunshine throughout the year and a decent solar system could run the whole farm off grid as well as being connected to the mains supply. For sewerage on these types of properties they usually use a septic tank / soakaway type system. We use it on our farm and its worked flawlessly for the last 5 years we have lived here.
@@OKportugal Thanks for your kind reply, Ken. Yes, I thought so. You know it isn’t so much the electricity that concerns me but the water side of things. Just to be sure it would be great to be able to connect to mains. I’m a bit of a coward in this regard. 😀 But, of course, given the location it’s quite obvious that it isn’t an option in this case. Otherwise a very cute and pretty little farm for sure! Thanks again and cuddles for the doggies! 🥰😀
Really nice. Didn’t you say in a video (ages ago) that when someone sells a property (land?) they have to give their neighbors right of first refusal? Those boundaries would drive me nuts. Not that I’d need more land.
Thanks Steve, yes this is something called Pre-Emption rights, where in some circumstances, in Portugal, the neighbouring land owner has first refusal on purchasing rustic land that is bordering their property. When buying property in Portugal I recommend to use a property lawyer who understands these types of laws and can navigate any issues.
Your Hazelnut tree by the fruits looks like a Lime Tree and the Cork Oak looks like an English Oak. Do not forage on your own because it can be dangerous , ask Joaquim to go with you and do not pick up mushrooms because I like your videos.
