Yay! Thank you!

[@michellephilips8807]

Congratulations 👌Good luck with the new house!🥂 and hello from France

[@lisacraig4585]

Congratulations. I bought a property with stone buildings in a village near Tondela 25 years ago. The permits for restoration take at least 6 months and without the legalities (visits from building inspectors, clear intentions of work to be done for council scrutiny, connection to services), you might fight an uphill battle. The key words are resilience and vision. But the Beira is a magnificent place and I wish you all the best on your journey.

[@thispasithealife]

Thank you for the information, it will be a learning journey, but will be worth it ☺️

Hey guys! Wanted to say I was drawn in by your Red Sox hat! haha Not often I see a European with a baseball hat, nevermind my hometown team. We've been to Portugal in the past and loved it, we're heading back this winter for a potential property search. Hoping to someday have a little place in the countryside as well. Looking forward to seeing how your project turns out. Good luck!

[@thispasithealife]

Hi, thanks for the comment. So the Red Socks hat is from when I was traveling when I was younger. Spent a couple of weeks in Boston (& loved it). I watched the Bruins & Celtic’s (wrong time of the year for baseball). Follow them all now when I check on US sport. Like the Red Socks cap, its the second one I’ve owned as the first got worn out 😁

[@thispasithealife]

@@thispasithealife Yes, would be good..the local hardware store - on the corner down from the mini -preco is good for odds and sods..their son .Pedro speaks English..they also have a big builders yard further down on the way to the river. We have amazing neighbours ..can't wait to get back.. struggling to sell some property here in SA. I'm sure we will meet up some time.

So not in central Portugal then, good you are in a much better spot up north. Central Portugal is considered Castelo Branco county and is very cheap there, but for a reason. Is very hot in summer and very dry and a limit amount of rain, normally. ope you have sorted your residency out first as many are have problems.. You used to be able to just buy a plane ticket and move. Not any more as Brussels has stuck it's big beak in where it's not wanted. You 'll need to get a habitation license if you want to live in all of it. In that area if you want more land you will be looking at about2-3 k an acre. cheap for Portugal. but super cheap for U.K.

[@thispasithealife]

It certainly will be a lot of work ☺️

[@paulb1951]

What did Brussels have to do with it? The UK voted to leave the union, thus removing rights people from the UK had previously.

[@robertlee6479]

@@paulb1951 There was no such union or the E.E.C. in 1373. This was a peace treaty between 2 countries not 27 as is now. It's Belgium sticking it's nose in other peoples business as usual.I've read the treaty and didn't see Belgium's name on it any where.

Where in in Central Portugal, and how big, ?ha do you have, and finally how much did you pay?

[@thispasithealife]

We are in Northern Central Portugal, Guarda District. Keep watching for all the info! 😉

[@jeanrichardson2044]

What amenities, ie water, power, sewage, do you have access to? There appears to be no trees on the property, that i could see. I would want to get some started for shade. Was the building close to the house yours, also.

[@thispasithealife]

We are completely off grid, and intend to stay that way. We can connect to electricity if we need to, but will exhaust every option before having to do so ☺️

flyes are no worse than U.K. as I live here south of you. Yoi have a lot of work to do. Is there land with it and what did it rush ya.

The thing with the flies is the long grass, keep it short = less flies👍
