Listen to the commenters here. This is a fools errand. That's why it sat here since forever. Who could wait for every piece of wood to rot off? The skilled laborers needed no longer exist in Portugal. We opened a school in 1976 to teach young folks mold making skills. Now no one wants to do it and it is the highest paying skilled trade in the country. DON'T BUY THIS JAMES!!!

I advise you to get a arquitect who has good connections ("friends") in the nearest city hall, that can help a lot . Lawyers can also help but if you're going to work with an arquitect to do the project he will do his best to help and advise you of all bureaucracy and what you can do in terms of legislation or even find ways to go around it. Its all about having the right people with the best contatcs in that área. I work in real estate and I can tell you that has a LOT of potencial and It seems a good deal if its around 300k.

Its a beautiful property brother but if your gameplan is to rent structures short-term, owning in the EU sounds like a bureaucratic nightmare. We own historic property in high regulation areas in the states which reduces rental supply and own in low regulation areas that allow for endless supply and lots of competition. Both suck in their own way but for us, outcompeting people in the market by building a better product vs. out-navigating red tape regulation is a lot more enjoyable. We restored an old stone structure like this in NC so if you move forward on it, shoot us a message. Would be happy to reconnect and share what we discovered on that build!

My partner has family near Loule, they have a load of land and built a bar, Restaurant and a huge house with no problems. Then he built a kids play park for parties, crazy golf, go-kart track, football swimming pool etc without any permission, I said he should be proud as his work is visible on satellite view!! BUT, and it is a BIG BUT, he is a Portuguese through and through! I am a Londoner and my partner says I like it there because I am oblivious to the negative comments from the locals. Putting it politely, they are not too keen on outsiders, that's why Portugal is still portugal all over the country. That's not to say you may get to know the locals and gel, when I walk in to João's bar I get a great welcome and we drink a few beers etc. But I do see the different reactions when off the tourist trails. Her uncle takes us to many off the beaten track restaurants etc and as he is a bit of a face it goes well. When returning with just my partner it does feel different! If you can speak the language, and I think Anna and yourself can? that will be a big help. But the place looks amazing and I really hope it goes your way. PS, about 60km to the south there's a great cooperative called Adega Cooperativa de Carvoeira, C.R.L, Estrada Nacional 9, nº 5 | Curvel | 2565-138 Carvoeira | Torres Vedras | Portugal.

If the price is acceptable, you should be clear about the further investments. And as some have already written, look for the right lawyer/notary who will draw up sensible contracts. Remember, whatever you do in the future, you are a family man and you must always think about making sure your family is safe and provided for. Wish you all the best.

James, you won’t be allowed to set up yurts or rent out tents to tourists without a specific permit called a "campismo" (camping site) permit. This permit is notoriously difficult to obtain. I have a friend who already holds a "Turismo de Habitação" permit, which should make things easier since he’s running a tourism business on the same property, but even he’s been waiting for five years to get approval. I’m Brazilian, living in Portugal for six years, and I’ve bought a 12-hectare farm in Serra da Estrela. If you need help navigating the process, feel free to send me a private message. Be careful-many property owners in Portugal will tell you that everything is possible, but once you’ve bought the property, the reality can be very different. For example, if the previous owner didn’t have approval for any structures like concrete foundations, you could face serious problems getting your business approved later.

It will have to be a project based on sustainability, and job creation and will require some good political skills to convince the mayor. All this is just to say it is not impossible but it can't be rushed and will require a lot of anxiety and expectations management :-)

Its a very finicky industry and the odds are always stacked against you, especially in these times we live in. I personally know several good friends who are trapped in their little boutique hotels or restaurants living hand to mouth every month....because it is an unpredictable source of income. I think plenty of comments along the same lines here tells you the same.

What I understand him saying you should use your money and internet influence and return the property to the community heritage. Maybe in that process it’s possible to acquire some European funds or even to become resident. I guess you just have to be noble

Don’t do it, you will be handcuffed! Look for a more useable farm where you are free. I sold my boat, bought an old mango plantation with a well, out buildings, and have a Nicaraguan wife who doesn’t speak English but the life is great!

Look up margarida, I doubt captain plucky would mind. But her dad's business connections could save you a lot of time and a fortune.

O projeto vai envolver uma série de entidades, desde a Câmara Municipal, CCDR e APA, eventualmente. Para começar será necessário apresentar às entidades públicas um projeto para o local, bem definido e com os seus objetivos bem esclarecidos. Será necessário, provavelmente, indicar às diferentes entidades públicas, que tem a capacidade técnica (e financeira) para aplicar e desenvolver o projeto. Muito importante será verificar quais as atividades sócio-económicas que o PDM contempla no local. A alteração de um PDM é uma ação que pode demorar imenso tempo... Passando para o projeto mais concretamente, qualquer estrutura nesse local terá de ser "reforçada" quanto aos problemas de humidade e insonorização.

I don't want to discourage you, but you are not the first one to have this idea. Thousands of people before you have tried and failed, On properties like this and many others. Just forget about it. Don't waste your time and money on it.

Only if it’s cheap. I can join from Finland for the project…. Lots of potential… a house can be made out of it and rest is just tourism and a house made of containers…. Just buy it cheap….

Sounds like way more bureaucracy than it's worth. Didn't you get enough of it while you were a sailor?
