Our lifelong dream to renovate and own a Portuguese Farm starts now! We're taking a short break from our USA road trip to share with you the very beginning of this very exciting and very ambitious self build project. This will be a full renovation series as we turn this abandoned farm into a thriving off-grid homestead. We also share some personal news which we're excited for you to all know about!
We are the Newbys, John, Tara, and our two little boys Crusoe and Sawyer. We’re a family who are pursuing an alternative lifestyle, and after two years of full time travel we’ve taken root on an abandoned farm in Northern Portugal which we’re renovating into our dream off-grid homestead. We release new videos every Sunday sharing our story, and we’d love for you to be a part of it with us. Please remember to SUBSCRIBE if you haven’t already, it’s free and super easy to do and it helps us hugely.
Thank you for being here. We hope that we can inspire you to Be Brave, Think Big and to Explore.

The algorithm literally just suggested this video and I'm so glad it did! How exiting and what a fantastic Quinta you have! I have two suggestions, firstly talk to an arborist before cuttinf down or pruning your fruit trees. It's worth whatever a consuktation costs as it will save your old trees and rejuvinate them and your fututlre harvests and prevent disease. Secondly, if you decide to get animals and especially dogs please resucue and turn to shelters instead of shopping. Portugal is unfortunately alot like Spain and Greece when it comes to mistreatment of animals and the dog pounds and rescue centers are overflowing with beautiful podenco potrugese, mastines and other dogs all desperate for some kindness and safety, and your farm is a perfect place for any animal. Now I'm exited to look at what I've missed out on as this was posted 3 months ago, and your baby is due in weeks only! Congratulations on a lovely property and fantastic project, best wishes for you new addition to the tribe and obrigado from Jo in Stockholm! ❤️

We bought our house in rural Alto Alentejo, Portugal, 2kms from the Spanish border in 2003. We renovated the main house straight away, then moved back to the UK to earn and plan for our early retirement. We used it for holidays until we moved back permanently in 2013. The projects never end and money has always been tight, but what a fabulous life we have had. All the major capital projects are now finished. Income finally exceeds outgoings. Life is unimaginably sweet. I envy you the start of your journey. If I had my time again, I wouldn't change a thing.

@TheNewbys 2 года назад

Thank you SO much for writing to us Ian, you've inspired us even further on this journey, and also helped to shape some of the thoughts we have about what the future might look like. We are beyond excited for all of it, and feel incredibly fortunate to be here. Enjoy your special spot in this beautiful country and it's great to have you along for the ride.

@karentodd4910 2 года назад

My advice would be to do nothing initially, let the land speak to you over time and it will become clear. I made several mistakes by trying to impose my English ideas on the land and was disappointed with the results so I learnt to take daily walks to the various spaces ,watching sunrises and sunsets, noting what grows in abundance and giving the land its opportunity to reveal itself. You will also find that what you initially thought you wanted will change as a more simple way of living creeps into your soul. I wish you the best of luck, what a wonderful and lifechanging opportunity to show your children how to respect our beautiful world.

@TheNewbys 2 года назад

Good advice Karen, Great to hear from you friend, its been quite a week! We will certainly ensure we listen to the land before making any mega changes. It’s such a beautiful place. ❤️🏡🇵🇹thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏

Very beautiful new home. My g grandparents came from the azores. Islands part of Portugal. Every time I mention the Azores. No one knows where that’s at. They traveled to Ellis island and my g grandmother was an indentured servant. She was treated badly by the lady of the house and then she made it towards California and there they farmed.

Oh this should be a fun watch. Congratulations on what looks to be a stunning property. Please don't toss everything you're not keeping in a skip and take it to the landfill. See if any charity shops will come and pick up what you're not keeping or even just post to the locals to come have a rummage at the front of the property through it once you've pulled out what you want... We all need to be thinking in terms of sustainable practices and zero waste now. As influencers especially it's important to set that as part of the project. It's also a great way to build into your local community. I can already tell I'm going to love your channel because you're environmentalists. Very excited to follow along!!

@veeleighkay 2 года назад

What a beautiful property. You are so fortunate to have found such a gem. I too am looking at northern Portugal for a possible future home for myself, so I am eager to see how you progress. I don't know what your long term plans are for the property, but if you're thinking about getting rental income, consider developing a co-living arrangement for future tenants, whereby there are private rooms but shared communal areas like garden, kitchen, bathing, working, living. Co-living is a more sustainable way to live. This would appeal to digital nomads and adventurers like yourselves, and lend a community feel to the accommodation. You could build common outdoor areas in those places you're wondering how to use, for exercise, meditation, crafts, and that tree house too! Good luck and enjoy the process!

Congratulations on the baby guys! A big project but it's going to be an amazing one! There are charities like Emmaus here in France that do house clearances for free, otherwise you can drop off the stuff you don't want. Recycle rather than dump! Keep what you might use, save some pennies for the bigger projects. We're also thinking of moving to Portugal in a few years so would love to know how you found your property and what hoops you had to jump through!

@TheNewbys 2 года назад

Thanks for that tip Claire, we’ve been trying to find some second hand places but haven’t had much luck yet, we will keep searching though because it’s such a shame to dump it all. We’d be so happy to help so let us know when you’re on the move!!

@ppietrap3876 2 года назад

@@TheNewbys You should do a search for "loja de antiguidades" in your area. These are small shops that usually buy and sell second hand home items, of almost any kind. For small stuff they usually don’t pay much, but it is better than nothing. You can also try to sell online, it’s not uncommon in Portugal. You can also donate some of the stuff to social institutions, in small towns these are probably associated with the local church. If you live near a small town usually the typical cafe will be a good place to ask for this kind of info - they usually know "everyone" around. By the way, be careful with those centipedes, don’t let them bite you since they are somewhat poisonous, though nothing too serious. best wishes

I am very practical so I would be cleaning up the dishes and glassware that I like and then donating the rest to a thrift store to give someone in lesser circumstances a chance to have some dishes I don’t need. That will be a beautiful home once you get it all cleaned up. I see those two smaller houses as being income potential as Airbnb places in the future once the houses are renovated. What a magical place to visit. You should make friends with Theo and Bea from the Indie Projects. They are on a farm in Portugal also and are a lovely young couple who have a RU-vid channel. They have chickens and goats and have just renovated a stone barn to live in. They might be helpful in dealing with locals.

a beautiful house!! but with all the fires and drought happening in Portugal, please please do clean up your terrain so if anything happens, your space is prepared to have firefighters and to just not burn down everything. Green lush places also burn, sadly. And! a system to keep rain water with that pit would be amazing!

@TheNewbys 2 года назад

Thanks Fernando, we are lucky, there have been no fires in our area. We are certainly going to be looking after the land so it is protected from fire. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 👍👍

So, now all you've got do, is work your socks off (quickly coz you're both not getting younger), and find time to learn Portugese! Then live happily ever after, watching all your travel videos and telling your grandkids lots of tales from all your travels. Amen.

I’m in Brooklyn and we have lots of those house centipedes. They keep the ants and worse down, so I leave them alone, but they make me jump when they run across the floor suddenly. They do get pretty big. I would skip the music while people are talking.

@TheNewbys 2 года назад

Thanks Anki, appreciate the info and advice 🙏🏼

@irmafernandez2887 Год назад

I am reviewing your videos for the 2nd time and I am enjoying your beginning of renovating and refurnishing this Portuguese homestead as your own.

Here's an ideal. Regarding your water tank/ swimming pool. Drill a hole in the bottom of the wall, and put a plastic pipe in and seal it up to stop water leaking. If you get a large wood burner or chimminy. Wrap it with copper pipe and attach a water pump. Then the water will get pumped out if the pool around the around the heating source and back into the top of the pool. Enjoy! 😉

You'll not regret this decision Guys, things may appear to be a little daunting at times (especially anything to do with paperwork!), however, as someone who made the move in 2009 I can honestly say that the benefits outweigh the problems! Bem Vindo a Portugal, as vossas vidas serão melhoradas e tornadas mais agradáveis pela experiência.
