Thanks Joseph and Andre, some real value for money in central Portugal....if only I was 30 years younger 😊

Lovely village house in a charming village, I miss your weekly updates from your own farm and your cooking with local produce.

[@Farmerforfun]

Hi there, I know, I do too... Unfortunately nasty comments made me realise I should not be showing my family on camera, it just is not fair to them, I should keep only myself on film

Hi Joseph , I miss Mariana & You’re little one! Would be great to visit your farm again!

[@Farmerforfun]

Hi Sandra! They will make an appearance next week!! I’ve not been showing my family much anymore due to some nasty comments and things I received, it’s not fair to subject them to that, I will probably keep it to mainly myself on here in the future now, unfortunately 💕

​@@FarmerforfunHi Joseph, Sorry to hear that as that is not cool by any stretch of the imagination...on the flip side I've just discovered your channel and find it informative and inspiring while keeping it real, we wish to follow a similar path coming from NZ. Keep it coming mate. Cheers Jared.

Bless you my dear friend! Thank you for the lovely message!!! :D

Joseph, it would be nice if you could mention how long it takes to the river beaches, each year seems rather hotter than before and knowing you have quick access to a cooling place becomes as relevant as bars where to have a cold drink

Thanks Joseph, another beautiful second property. Just out of curiosity, how much would it cost to build that beautiful home? It really does look spectacular! 😊😊😊

Hello Joseph congrats on your second child how lovely I hope everyones well can i ask u a question have you ever heard of living in a tiny house in Portugal ? Is it a thing in such a hot climate?

[@Farmerforfun]

Hello there! Thank you so much, we are totally over the moon right now!!! 🤩 💕 Yes lots of people do that here, mostly foreigners! Personally I think on the mountain itself would be my ideal place to have one! 😊

4:07 that sure is a weird place to have that high up plugs... usually they would be at the foot panels near the floor... only the kitchen would see them up that high on the middle of the wall... lovely house though

What a charming village with every key amenity just steps away, and what a gorgeous valley it is set in. Really nice house and views, very well renovated. Are the buyer's choice finishings and fixed appliances included in this sale price? If so, I wish I could jump on this. Love a nicely finished in-town house. and it's along the Zezere? with views of the Estrella? 😍

[@tommytee8387]

Lovely village property to finish to whatever level of finish you choose..would have been nice to see the garage area and what that offers vehicle access size.

[@Farmerforfun]

Hi! Thank you. There is no garage, it is street parking only :D The whole property was shown on the film.

[@tommytee8387]

@@Farmerforfun Thank you Joseph for the reply.. I was looking at the property earlier on your website and it’s still showing with garage..but thanks again for clearing that up.

[@Farmerforfun]

Oh that must be a mistake as there is no garage :D

[@gus-lopes]

I think the reason for that is because there's a garage underneath the outside staircase. That might belong to the neighbour or just be a storage.

[@tommytee8387]

@@gus-lopes the listing on the FFF website clearly states “and a Garage”.. hence my question.. but Joseph has now confirmed there is no Garage..even though the website is still showing with garage.

[@tanyagomes6429]

Bom dia Joseph, what a lovely property. How much do you think is needed to finish off the work that’s needed in the house? And how far is the property from the airports

[@user-pj9cf9jo4p]

Hi can you give me an idea of building cost for that house

[@Farmerforfun]

Hi there! I can get you a quote from the builder if you email us, [e-mail]

[@rinaihlen4001]

Miss the videos when you showed what you and your family did on the farm. Watching the property videos is ok but still not the same.

[@johnianson-8674]

Hi Joseph, Can you please give me an estimate of the building costs complete with swimming pool. Been interested in moving to Fundao Region for 2 years now and would like to retire in a beautiful area of Portugal.

[@jameshunt2905]

Joseph.... May I ask what the parking situation might be for situations like this as it appears in the video that parking might be rather limited or in some fashion that is considered the norm for the region though different from what many viewing would think of? On another subject, though related, I very curious as to what costs would be applicable in terms of planning to finish such a property.... realizing obviously that these costs would vary according to personal choices and style. These insights offer more toward the conversations necessary and potentially drive inspirations and processes to the ideas that you share here. As always, many thanks for the efforts you and Andre put into making these videos available.

[@petervermeer.4904]

For the townhouse, or village house, i think for under 10.000 you can do the kitchen plus bathroom. (probably even cheaper if you can do a lot yourself). The rest of the house, well normal things like paint, curtains, a (wooden) floor, or whatever.

[@Farmerforfun]

Hi! Using my builders a bathroom would be 800 euros for all the furnishings, you can pick the styles you like of course. Kitchen would be from 3,000 up, depending on what you choose. Tiles start at around 10 euros per square metre, but these are basic tiles, more expensive ones are possible, should the buyer wish for them :D

[@myitaliantherapyginafiore4414]

Hi Jospeh been waiting for some new properties. I am counting down. 3 months I will arrive. Looking forward to property searching with you and your staff in your area. I have met many expats doing the same and youtubing it in the area. My tribe is there. Hi to Marianna and Chloe. Food forest,, water, views, close to village but privacy, not necessarily a house but building permission, I do have a small budget but am coming to buy...thank you will be in touch again by email soon. Cheers. Gina in Upstate New York USA moving to Portugal this property seems high priced with nothing done on it but an area flattened which might not be where someone wants to build. Is price flexible. Where is the closest water besides borehole? Cheers thanx

[@gee3883]

I'm curious how many viewers are seriously considering the move? Also are you UK or US citizens?

[@tanyagomes6429]

Bom dia Andre, is there any parking at the property

[@Farmerforfun]

Hi there, street parking is everywhere, but there are no private parking places.

[@adriansimon6679]

Hi Joseph, are these properties listed on your website? I had a look but couldn't see them there.

[@Farmerforfun]

Hi there! They certainly are 😁

[@adriansimon6679]

@@Farmerforfun okay, let me go look again 🙂

[@udosteger]

Dear Joseph, the building plot, it is indeed a beautiful place. The asking price seems to be hilarious but I guess it is justified by the permission to build, by beeing close to the town but still alone, and by the possibility to use public power supply. I guess it was not easy to get such a license, as it appears there was no previous house there. Would a buyer be stuck with the design shown (methinks it is a bungalow) and/or the size (250sqm)? Would a major change e.g. one wants to build a more traditional looking house with a first floor require re-application? I guess it is important that you stick within the 250sqm, but how flexible are those permissions when it comes to changes of the design? Or does the camera grant a building permit regardless of the design, and just limits the footprint of the house in sqm?

[@petervermeer.4904]

When the permission is given for a one floor house, or bungalow style. Then that is probably for a reason. So for a second floor you will probably need to put in a new request. Also existing buildings you can not just build them higher, if you would want that, also normally you have to keep the same footprint. That said. All by all, 250sqm on the ground floor would be quite enough for me. I wouldn't even use it all for living probably. To big for me. Also 8-9 months of the year you can sit outside, and eat outside.

[@d3d3ds60]

If we don't want this project,how does it happen? Or do we have to take it? Thank you.

[@Farmerforfun]

The paperwork is all done, if you don't wish to build what is approved then that is fine :)
