Incredible mountain top Portuguese Farm For Sale! 

I don't think you ever been to Portugal.

@@RobIn-ky4uz And what does that mean exactly? 🤔

@jitro WS I AGRRE!!

@@viviendoconedna that you cannot almost live for free in Portugal with a solar installation, vegetable garden and a good spirit. Ask the locals they will tell you.

@@RobIn-ky4uz why, what's the reason? Obviously there are probably local property taxes but what else?

Absolutely Deborah, raising kids there would be special for them and the family.

And you're blocked from the channel. By the way it sold for the full asking price 😊

@@destino2portugal It is still on the webpage of esfera real. Did the sale not go through and it is still available?

She wouldn't move here, I think this is perfect 👌

Junco 47 I can give you a small picture in time. I was there, early 60s70s I had 2 Uncles that were Tractor Owners. They would plow the fields , gather loads of lumber , clean the mountains of ferns and shrubs, selling them to everyone that had these small farms. Everyone had animals, Cows for milk, sheep for cheese ,pigs for everything . Everyone grew Corn a staple for animal feed, potatoes everywhere then everything else.. Everyone helped everyone. When it was time to harvest potatoes everyone helped out and the owner would bring baskets of food and wine, it was a party. When it was someone else's turn everyone would help and it would be their turn to bring the baskets of food and wine. Tons of children, every family has 3-4 children or more. I had another uncle who was a MASON always busy building or fixing stone walls and whatever was needed. The water for irrigation was alloted by memory , nothing written down , everyone that had crops had their day and time. September came and it was time to pic the grapes. Most families would make enough to have 2-3 liters per day, no pepsi ,coke or other soft drink , that was something you had at a bar maybe on the weekend or at a wedding. TV was 2 channels, Westerns were the Classics of the day . You would go to the local store usually the owner lived upstairs and you watched a Western while they sold you a beer or softdrink. Midnight, TV broadcast stopped . No cable TV 24/7. Animals played a big part , as they were to costly to maintain and nobody wanted to work with them , everything else disappeared.. Animals gave work to my Uncles getting their bedding, ferns shrubs etc. Those ferns and shrubs where used as bedding the eventually removed to be used as fertilizer in the fields. NO ANIMALS, you don't need corn anymore, the mountains aren't cleaned anymore and everything falls apart. My Aunt had a buther shop, with MAD COW DISEASE from BRITAIN , the regulations were to much , vaccinations, veterinary bills , registration of every animal etc etc. SO WHAT DO YOU DO ?? My Uncles came to America out of necessity, many others to Switzerland, Brazil, Argentina, etc.. The result is what you see Properties that are SKELETONS of the past.. You'll never see it again , Sunday was dress your best for Church , more than anything to meet your sweetheart. Where i met my wife married 40+ years, no regrets... . . THAT WAS LIVING !!!!! 🍷

@@justinbieber12373 thanks for that small picture. A gem.

Levadas :)

Thank you Robert, we will try to do more videos when the weather breaks 👌

Getting older sucks Tom, I hear you and it still is a tantalising prospect for me too ❤️

Hey geezer is it still available?

That's why we work with him, as honest and decent as the day is long.

Thank you 😊

Me too ♥️

Militarized caterpillars? Oh NO!!

What's the problem with the processionary caterpillars? Leave them alone and they'll leave you alone. The fire risk is more serious.

rs is laughing in brazil, just use ahah instead 😂 good effort though!

Good luck Tracy and don't forget to take up Portuguese Citizenship you is allowed to be a dual national from UK and it doesn't affect your government pension

Já somos dois Tracy!Quero ver se este ano mesmo,faço a transição,fingers crossed ;) "Não há nada como a vida no campo!"

@paulacannon3452 it's gone I'm afraid 😨

Yes, a young fit off grid family

There is one near to Ansiao. You can hire skips here, I'll find out the cost if you want me to?

I would live here, Sarah not so much 🤣

@@destino2portugal such a buzz killer

Ha

Renovation to liveable state would need another 50-60K?

@@junehitchcock170 not if you do it by yourself

I hear healthcare is affordable if you're not a citizen. Good question though.

We didn't do maps when we filmed this one, if they're available now we share them now 😉

You'd fine it very hard to find a builder out here to work on on building as old as this. The ones that would do it, you'd fire in under a day because they are useless. The good builders are jammed up with work and would take years to get around to you. IF THEY REMEMBER THAT IS ....

and that's why you'd always get the maps from local council (Camera) and make sure your solicitor checks it.

@@dweamy1 The comment you made makes no sense the the questions that where asked

@@oldmanonamission8055 a lot of people here wear pink glasses...

@@RobIn-ky4uz Not yesterday, or today, but I guess tomorrow it could

It's sold now 👌

This one has sold now, thanks for commenting.

It's 48,500, my mistake I'll fix it when I get home

You cannot build ANYTHING on RURAL LAND. If there is a destroyed house on the property you may be able to rebuild it AS IS , no addition or DIFFRENT materials... Portugal does not play around .. You play by their rules or you don't play at all.. And now in 2023 you must follow strict rules by installing Solar and Eco friendly energy saving systems .. I know someone that did a simple rehab on a 100+ year old house and it took him 2+ YEARS, Still waiting for the official hookup to EDP. MOODYS is now predicting a SHARP decline in PORTUGAL HOUSING 2023. 🍷

Same 💯

Way to much pine to be comfortable with dogs, think about the processionary caterpillars.

@@anitawoods7174 Very true, I'd chop all the pine down for lumber and firewood. I'd grow other trees to fill the gaps and make it a safer place.

@@anitawoods7174 I'd chop them down and use for firewood and building material and replant with more suitable trees.

@@dweamy1 what trees would you plant?

You can build a new house on the footprint of the existing building but it would have to be a project.

No

I think we mentioned it at the start of the video.

@@sam-francis it's sold now. Sorry.

Javali (boars) have become quite the nuisance since covid and lockdowns and not being able to hunt so the population has exploded. They are a pain but also beautiful, and we hear a lot of hunting, so it's part of the culture and ways of the countryside. I guess you'd need a gun licence here and if it's on your land then I guess its OK.

Out of interest, are you American? In the UK many buildings have been restored from such a state, and worse.

This has sold now, for the full asking price, thanks for commenting 🙂

Amiera near Oleiros

@@destino2portugal Amieira actually, you missed the second 'i'.

@@perolagrande I'm dreadfully dyslexic and add to that a new language, oh boy do I struggle 🙄 We are going to put the name up in text from now on, spell checked by far cleverer people than me 😉

@@destino2portugal I found it, no problems. Thanks for the quick response.

They're always on the thumbnail 48,500

Check with Fernando geral@esferareal.com

Yes, but it's not Portugal 😉

A deposit has been paid yes, still may fall through but unlikely

@@destino2portugal would appreciate a heads up in this case. But tbh I don't see why anyone would let this beautiful piece of land slip away.

@@Jawan359 it was magic

deserted There is more life in that forest than you can see. It's full of life, food, water and so much more. Try looking harder. Most animals roam around after dark and sleep in the day and the reason you think it's deserted.

€15,000

Not enough flashing disco lights, noise and distractions for you?

The vast majority of all our ancestors lived in considerably more privation. So yes, not only possible but actually far more hospitable to the average human than so-called civilization is these days.

It's OK, it's been sold for the full asking price 👌 thanks for commenting ❤️

No evidence that this particular area has been affected in recent years. The amount of underbrush and mature trees, including some fallen ones, would seem evidence that it hasn't. There are risks everywhere. In some places, floods. In others, earthquakes. Portugal and many other places suffer from forest fires. However it is actually a manageable risk that you can take steps to reduce, creating firebreaks for example. But certainly, it is a risk that should be taken into account.
