Unbelievable Opportunity: Owning A Vineyard In Portugal! | S5E7

[@charleslassiter6082]

truely breathtaking james the history and romance of Portugal!

[@ggauche3465]

It looks beautiful, but ...When I was 50 I bought a property in Australia and created an organic farm from scratch. It was 15 hour days, 7 days a week and my 2 children were growing like crazy and I hardly had time to be with them. Then I had the heart attack and it all went to sh*t, separation and divorce and lost the lot in the settlement! Be practical! It is very hard to make a living farming.

[@BStrapper]

your post is the most useful of them all... by a long shot vineyards are going belly up everywhere.

[@Tim8mit]

Poor Ana is still limping around, I hope she heals soon. Another beautiful property, looks like there is no end of beautiful views and rural settings available in Portugal...I think it is going to be hard to make up your minds. I'm sending lots of good vibes to you James ,Ana, and Luna

[@t590-j3z]

looks really nice , those hills will keep you fit going up and down , million dollar view imagine the things those walls have seen over the 200 years

[@robertlaird6746]

1st Portugal is a very beautiful country with beautiful people! This is a great opportunity for your family to start a very profitable business that will set you up for life. How many barrels of wine can you make a year and how many acres is this property? It's beautiful but are there other vineyards for sale that come with more land that have a better price? Your going to have to find out what all of the requirements are for renovating a building before you purchase and also purchase a travel trailer to live in and see if that's OK to do. It would be nice if they allowed you to build up and also out from the rock walls. That way you can remove some of the walls that you don't want.

[@kristaready8812]

Luna is daddy's little girl. Love to see you bonding with her and running down the hill 🤗💞 Best of luck in your property search, this one looks beautiful! 🤗💞

[@vivianeriesterer4279]

such a stunning vieuw, wow thats something you never get tired of…..its endless work to bring this ruin back to a livable space, but with determination and help of friends it a long term project that can br fullfilling….just be aware that it will need many years …and you have lots of very hard work on the terassed land thats your property too….a piont of attention to the fact that grapes are mostly heavily sprayed with bad chemical multiple time a week from march to september, so inform yourself about this too for the sake of you and your familys health….hope your dreams turn into reality!

[@patrickjames1080]

The property is going to need alot of fiberglass work. 300 bottles a year is almost enough for a salty sailor.. The region continues as a hot spot for vacationers. Thanks for sharing James ⛵️ 👍

[@OZ1DK]

Find a cool plot where you can make a campground for campers etc. It a growing market if located good. I'm thinking too do that (my last biz) . But first l will travel Europe around 1-2 years from next year, in campervan.

[@rossalyntownsend9535]

Please keep looking the perfect one is there you just have to find it ❤

[@lordhamercy9098]

Best so far!

[@arqcm]

James, this is premium land!!!! amazing!

[@ingbor4768]

Welcome to our lands, Portugal. Ask some heelp from locals to you and your lovely family integrate in the society. You will need a lot of help because rebuilding this kind of house is very hard and tricky. And expensive too without help. Do not forget trying to put your child in the school ("pré-Primária") because children need social interactions and being part of local social groups. And most of all, be happy with us. And enjoy the region: it's absolutely fantastic.

[@darylg7484]

Get it James! You only get 1 shot. Take it!

[@MrRourk]

Look around some more but good idea. Definitely a possibility.

[@tomtice6103]

Given the change in climate, there are a lot of Baigneres opting out of their present locations due to him continuing droughts really look into the drought on that property and heavily. Consider a lot of vineyards are moving up north, believe it or not.

[@johnphillips519]

Yes yes yes, It has great potential

[@robertschaper5737]

Maybe someplace with other people? Other kids for Luna to grow up with? These places seem more like discovering an amazing, isolated anchorage. If you need to incorporate a business opportunity into the choice we get it.

[@26N80W]

Does code require you to build back using original construction method so the stone walls would all have to be recreated or can you rebuilding the missing stone with CMU blocks and poured concrete? Have you been able to get any construction estimates to rebuild this stuff? Would love a glass of Zingaro wine at sunset with that view.

[@BStrapper]

Watch out Folks there is a serious overproduction of wine across Europe, for many vineyards market prices are no longer covering costs The business is no longer what it used to be... except for "grand cru"

[@richardrichard508]

Whilst his wife is suffering in pain on crutches, James spends his time filming the estate agents bum ! LOL

[@thelastpirate]

Hahaha. It does look like that, but she was SUPER tall!

[@SavingMaverick55]

You could make port wine and Madeira and ship it around via sailcargo. Might be an interesting endeavor for a former salt like you

[@davidnichols147]

Nice property, sending our best from the USA in Barcelona for the cup races!

[@thelastpirate]

Fingers crossed!

[@danieloliver20]

I love those views! 🍇🍇🍇🍷🍷🍷

[@NibrocNod]

Bro, why haven't you considered the coffee axis region in Colombia? Just as beautiful as this, if not more. Check out the area around Pereria, Filandia, Circasia and Armenia. It's your baby's and mommas home country too. Really surprised you haven't consider this area. It's insane beauty. You need to take the time to check it out before making your final decision. Truly.

[@angela1984a]

Colombia gets 70/100 from Freedom House. Portugal gets 96/100. That's quite the difference... What's the crime rate in Colombia? How are the schools? One thing about Portugal though is that the entire(?) country is situated in one of the worst earth quake zones on the planet. So if they buy a house in Portugal they'd better think of that aspect... If you want to read the reports from Freedom House yourself - then just punch in "colombia freedom house 2024" into google. For Portugal you naturally just exchange Colombia for Portugal.

[@nestkeeper]

Your sponsor is so cool. XREAL? Super cool. Anna and Luna are beautiful. We love watching your travels. ❤️

[@ChironKnights]

Zingaro port ! I"m in !

[@irish_ladd4]

Looks great! How is Ana's foot doing?

[@rohantherockwiththerocketh7871]

That view is seriously beautiful but I reckon it'd cost a small fortune to buy it even as a ruin! If restored the idea of a pool or spa bath is a ripper idea and fruit and vegetables would have to planted seasonally for food right on the doorstep. I wish you had included the asking price for the different house ruins and the estimated cost of full restoration. Bub's getting bigger but what happened to Anna James? Stay safe for all of you and have a ripper!

[@michaelplowman876]

Portuguese citizenship? The property might qualify you for a golden visa and permenent residency. Some people still believe this no longer exists, but that is not true. There are some thresholds/minimums you'll have to look iinto whether it qualifies, but if you do qualify you can also get full citizenship after that. Something to look into. Good luck to you.

[@melinda5777]

You build it, I will come!😂😂😂😂 MAKE SURE YOU GET A PROPERTY LAWYER. The government their is very particular when you do not build within the original foot print of the house. Unless, You have a good Property Lawyer and Architect! I have some friends you should hook up with. I'll email you their info. They are renovating in the Coimbra area. Cool people! Whatever you decide, I'm behind/beside you Brother!! That Douro River is Beautiful. I almost did a cruise down it 3 yrs ago! I still want too. You can see all the old Castles and Vineyards. You can take day Cruises out of Porto. Hey, when you do find a place, thats an option for downtime (if there's any) in the vineyards. Remember, Very Important, YOU CAN'T EAT ALL THE PROFIT BEFORE THE WINE IS MADE!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ✝️🙏🙏🙏❤❤🥰🍼⛵👣🎶🎶🇺🇸🇵🇹☘🍍🍍🍍🍍

[@braydonscully4646]

The old adage….how do you make a small fortune in the wine business? Start with a large fortune and work your way down……!

[@patrickjames1080]

Ha!

[@ctown6971]

Not sure if you said or not. How many acres, is there any living quarters, and is there a manufacturing/brewery on property?

[@juliabarnley7614]

Hi, this is Richard Barnley using my sisters account. I was married to a Bolivian and took her to Kenya and all she want to do is go back home to Bolivia, so my friend Go buy some place in Colombia, a coffee farm or restaurant

[@DanielPinto-oh4yb]

Dreams only dreams,.....yes Douro has some of most beautifull scenaries but rebuild a ruin there it will cost a fortune...

[@angela1984a]

Will it if they do it themselves?

[@twiztidconspiracy89]

Been in a liquor store in the states lately? 20+ bottles of wine to every bottle of liquor! Going to be very hard to make it profitable.

[@nolanmailhos1470]

Have you addressed ?The people that donated money to your kickstarter Campaign for your boat. The people that wanted to see you sailing and have a good boat. And why you put the boat up for sale. Some of the donators feel burned!

[@thelastpirate]

There was a season 2, as promised. Then 3, 4, and now 5... How long do you propose I keep sailing to uphold my end of the deal, here? Forever? It's been 4 years, I would think anyone sane would know the statute of limitations has long since expired.

[@kitbenavent8349]

Are you ready to handle a vineyard?

[@bombadil776]

You would be waiting years for permits! Super cool though.

[@Will-cf8hc]

Look into Peru,employ locals you get rent free land ,no taxes ,perfect water and temps!

[@angela1984a]

Peru gets 66/100 from Freedom House. That's not even enough to qualify as a proper Democracy. Compare that to 96/100 for Portugal(!)... What's the crime rate in Peru? How are the schools? If you want to read the reports from Freedom House yourself - then just punch in "peru freedom house 2024" into google. For Portugal you naturally just exchange Peru for Portugal.

[@berntout3697]

Those terraces have probably been there for centuries and will be for a while longer.

[@3AdamAnt]

Beautiful no doubt. 300 bottles of wine is about right too….. but aren’t you feeling like a fish out of water yet?:)

[@maartenvanrossen6138]

Don’t buy this one. The view is great, but these terraces wil become a pain te maintain.

[@DonC-d1z]

lovely area but watch out, grapes are one of the post with pesticides sprayed agricultural products in the world

[@ctown6971]

Is the only structures on property the ruins?

[@DonnaLatty-kh6db]

👍♥️

[@paultibbetts6603]

Mike your other people up, you are always able to be heard, but your guide is too quiet to understand. Great property tho....

[@akLeanne]

A vinyard or a bunch of olive trees is the way to go. You already have the following to open up your own business. There is a dying need for real olive oil in the states. Most of it isn't 100%. That's in our stores

[@PenpaGyu]

les portugais vendent toutes leurs ruines probablement hors de prix aux anglais , aux américains etc...les prix explosent dans l'immobilier et les locaux ne peuvent plus rien acheter..Au Portugal , dans la Bretagne française , à la montagne , à la mer etc...Ce genre de vidéos comme en font beaucoup d'anglais sur leurs achats immobiliers au Portugal et leurs rénovations attirent de plus en plus de monde sur le marché immobilier européen et les prix vont continuer à monter..

[@berntout3697]

It will be a lot of work for 300 bottles. I think it will be hard work. Hire some good local help and learn from them.

[@Dtk-1ofakind]

Another really nice place, but are you really looking for such expense restoration projects?

[@snoopybluejeans]

You should consider at least having a small sea view. Maybe some flatter ground for a play set for a couple of kids, pool, chicken coop, veg garden. This is a ruin, so huge money is going to be needed for just simple infrastructure. IMHO. I'd do a hard pass.

[@judybiddulph2164]

Nope... Too much competition in this industry.

[@royHalekor-h1n]

Waarom is dit te koop en waarom hebben de buren het niet gekocht.??????? Als het volgens de makelaar zo goed zou zijn??????? Waar is de water bron niet gezien druiven lusten water in de zomer en vergeet niet dat in het naseizoen er geen mens te vinden is in de omgeving

[@truusvdkraats3260]

Nee hoor, meeste druiven worden niet geirrigeerd in de zomer, daarom houden ze de wijnranken ook zo klein.

[@DG-jq2jq]

🤦‍♂AR shades really? Dude, you lost me

[@jimwilder5578]

Find a nicer house with a river or a lake.

[@peterdodge6563]

Move on from this one.

[@gordonroylambert]

wine tourism….has not really hit Europe. look to California for inspiration.

[@stevem7868-y4l]

The adverts amount to 30 % of the vid, so ive unscribed, as i can see what going on, and i dont want to fund the lifestyle of someone else...........

[@andresinnett4319]

How much money , time , patience , have you and Anna got , if your going to take on such a big project , overestimate every aspect , then × 3 , and you might come close to a real number , I'm guessing , to make a return in the way of short term rental apartments , cost wise for the house , plumbing & electricals , permits act, + doing a lot of the Labour d.i.y , um 🤔 $ 150 -200 usd , on top of the purchase price 😃👍✌

[@snoopybluejeans]

I'd be going far higher than that, unless he does everything himself. Nah, too much of a ruin in my opinion. He's got a small child. Are they going to keep her cooped up all day, while they become slaves to this place?
