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

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. 👍

@RootsandRestorations Месяц назад

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.

@debscatena Месяц назад

lovely land, looks like enough to have self sufficiency for a family.

@RootsandRestorations Месяц назад

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.

@user-kc9rn5vm3m Месяц назад

good idea for videos to grow plants and may have animals

@bapastma Месяц назад

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.

@RootsandRestorations Месяц назад

Thanks for the wishes. We are excited to get started on this big change!

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

@RootsandRestorations Месяц назад

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.

New sub. ❤ Looking forward to seeing your journey. We dream of doing the same because we love Portugal.

Welcome aboard!

@ThereIsAlwaysaWay2 Месяц назад

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)

@RootsandRestorations Месяц назад

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.

@frednorman1 Месяц назад

A LOT of work! (And look forward to see your progression)

@RootsandRestorations Месяц назад

Yes, it will be a lot of work. But step by step we will work on it and hopefully make it nice.

Bem vindos ao meu lindo país mais um inscrito ❤

Obrigado!

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.

@RootsandRestorations Месяц назад

Good to know, we will have to look into it and see if we can keep the tree there.

@ElisLud-yu6ph Месяц назад

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.

@RootsandRestorations Месяц назад

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!

@user-tb9id1bz8e Месяц назад

You have lots of balls to take on a sutch project 👏👏 good luck guys 🙏🙏

@RootsandRestorations Месяц назад

Thank you! it is a big project but we will chip away at it over time.

@RootsandRestorations Месяц назад

Thanks for the feedback and wishes!

@pamelalambe1356 Месяц назад

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.

@RootsandRestorations Месяц назад

Yes, we are looking forward to start growing things next spring!

@lesleyturner1025 Месяц назад

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 💗

@TheAlexartvisual Месяц назад

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!

@RootsandRestorations Месяц назад

Challenges and learning opportunities. That's what they are. 😀 We will talk about the price in a future video.

@TheAlexartvisual Месяц назад

@@RootsandRestorations of course....if this is your Business. Thsnk you for the quick Answer

@mariaesthersousa780 Месяц назад

It's a lovely property

@moniquebiesaart7801 Месяц назад

How did you find this property? It"s lovely so much potential😊

@RootsandRestorations Месяц назад

Months of looking on multiple websites (idealista, ERA, ReMax, etc). It wasn't easy, we looked at about 15 properties before this one.

@DeBeard Месяц назад

Large enough to held a match/game for many to play soccer/football😅

@RootsandRestorations Месяц назад

lol we can start our own club!

@CLiFoS Месяц назад

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. :)

@RootsandRestorations Месяц назад

Lol yes, it might be a little delusional, but we will try our best.

@RicknMorty85 Месяц назад

How much would a house like this cost in Portugal?

@RootsandRestorations Месяц назад

We will talk about price in a future video, but it was under 100k euros.

@Moira1309 Месяц назад

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.

@RootsandRestorations Месяц назад

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.

@pedrapioan4201 Месяц назад

Just what we need, yet another YT channel of foreigners in Portugal...

Agreed, we also love watching channels about people following their dreams!

@SVmathfarmer 17 дней назад

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 !

@gracefrey6509 Месяц назад

Where did you buy , please share?

@RootsandRestorations Месяц назад

The property is in the Coimbra area

@Veriatos Месяц назад

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!
