Where is the house ..? If it's a farm how can anibody build what are you selling you need to be more clear people from other country hase no idear about the building rules. On the other hand where is the closest town I don't see another building and you talking about bakery pl ease before you show a place give us some we about the area pl more specifics 😊

Joseph and Andre, what a find for an early spring tour! This offers great inspiration as to what could be done on a small scale and with all the amenities, scale, close to the village…. It has it all and could be built/rebuilt to a very nice all inclusive lifestyle for the right people. Excellent place to get started.

[@lapsedluddite3381]

Thank you both for showing this beautiful property, springtime is glorious there! André is such a treasure trove of information, how nice it would be if new owners could spend some time with him learning the story of the people who lived on the land before, and also walking the land to learn about the plants and their uses. I know there are "plant id" apps, but it's just not the same, André's knowledge (and recipes) are invaluable.

[@michaelmarsh-bl9mg]

Delightful farmstead Joseph, always look forward to you and André showing us around....a question for you why are there so many abandoned places in central Portugal?

[@Farmerforfun]

Hello, thank you! During the ‘60s / ‘70s a lot of the children of the farmers decided it was more beneficial to them to move away to cities and more wealthy countries, therefore many became abandoned, nowadays most of the ruins you cannot even find the owners of as their children have been abroad for decades, unfortunately

[@michaelmarsh-bl9mg]

​@@FarmerforfunThanks Joseph that's a real shame , such an idyllic place to live.

[@itsasimplelife1980]

Legally do the children of the abandoned farms still not have rights though to inheritance or the farm being in the family? Lovely place though as so many properties in Portugal… Jason

[@NoMad42]

Thank you Joseph! I’ve been wondering if it’s possible to build underground on those properties, like a wine cellar, or a basement to chill on hot days. Also, could this house be rebuild from scratch, like tear it all down and do your own architecture within the allowed size and height?

[@michaelferguson7735]

Wow i really love this one,wonder if you can put a new house on it ,then repair the ruins for storage??

[@Christmas-fv1jc]

If i had the resources i would go for this ... may be in future😅

[@Farmerforfun]

I can imagine watching from the house my sheep down on the lower terraces! 💕

[@bercdemir2285]

Hi Joseph, do you you guys have any ballpark figure for square meter construction cost for reconstruction of the ruins? Thank you and keep up the great job 👍

[@Farmerforfun]

Yes, obviously highly depends on a lot of factors, but roughly 700 / 800/m2

[@obryan240]

Great place 👌

[@suzylawrence6]

A lovely lovely property.. those terraces wouldn’t take a lot of sorting out…a mini tractor being a priority..The ruin could be rebuilt not cheap but what a location..

[@Farmerforfun]

Ahh I know, it would be an amazing little place for a farm house looking out over those terraces! 💕

[@lionelendersby3269]

Great piece of land does the lands boundary run to the rivers edge

[@infour44]

Hmm Is it possible to put a caravan/cabin on the block whilst renovating the building?

[@Farmerforfun]

Yes, absolutely it is!

[@vickigeer9203]

Wonderful film. If i was 10 years younger, I would be there on this property. The dwelling is in such bad condition it would take so much time and additional funds to make it livable. You do such awesome work. Thank you

All it takes is a good pruning to revigorate all those trees and make them look real nice.

Hi, in your video's can you give some info on how to make a purchase or to do a follow-up for potential buyers if the property is still available... thanks, great videos....

[@Farmerforfun]

[@andrewhoward6724]

what are the rules/regulations on building/renovating propertys in central portugal {property is beatiful )

[@Farmerforfun]

It is a very broad question, depends on village, property type, age, current construction material, zoning etc, on this specific property you can build the footprint, go up one storey, possibly extend (need to speak with an architect about how much one can extend, costs €150 to find this info out from them) 💕

[@johnhughes3333]

Hi Joseph, is the 150 euros per property to find this out, or is it a generic printout, etc. Like we've got here in the uk with permitted development plans? Is there a way I can get details of the architects that's providing this service, please? Thanks again

[@Farmerforfun]

It’s per property, because every property has many different factors affecting what could be allowed to build there

How does it work for say an American to buy land in Portugal? Would we be granted some sort of legal residence?

Good Day. Apart from the broken water tank, are there any other sourches of water on this property, eg wells, springs, etc? For as I understand, the stream & waterfall are NOT part of this property, just in close proximity?

2 water tanks, a water mine (which is basically a horizontal well. I would suggest getting a borehole for drinking water, with a price of €25 per metre depth and in this area a usual depth of 60m being needed

[@Semi0ffGrid7]

Hi Joseph, it looks to me like that this was originally an agricultural building and not used as a residential domestic house. There are no windows which makes me think it was a barn or a place to store crops. What does a licence to make it habitable include, i.e, bathroom, kitchen, sewage system etc? Would you not also need planning permission if those things don't exist or never existed in it's original construction? It's probably very different from the UK, here you would definitely need planning permission firstly for change of use and also to turn it into a domestic dwelling according to current regulations.

[@aleksandar7393]
