Why did we buy a farmhouse in Portugal?

Welcome to our channel. We are Miguel & Yvonne and after living in a big city with 22 million other people, we decided to move to a small village in Portugal. We bought a small farm & big farmhouse and will be restoring the house over the next few years.
We would love for you to join us on this adventure. If you like house restoration videos and gardening/homesteading this is the channel for you!

Boa viagem nesta nova etapa da vida! Prontos para manobrar o barco entre tempestades e bonanças? Nem tudo correrá de feição e manobrar "contra ventos" será uma boa aprendizagem! Se fosse eu, deixava o limoeiro onde está pois que as raízes dele não danificam estruturas da casa!

[@RootsandRestorations]

Thank you! It will be a big challenge with ups and downs, but hopefully we will enjoy it and everyone will enjoy watching us!

Already subbed. I always like your old videos and can't wait to see your new adventure. Best wishes for the two of you. I'm trying to imagine Miguel as a Portuguese gentleman farmer.

[@paulb1951]

Nice big property. Have to ask how much approx did you pay for it?

[@RootsandRestorations]

We will talk about it in a future video. It was less than 100k euros.

[@cheekeongchan6605]

8,000 sq ft is really big for the 2 of you. How much of the house do you intend to renovate & use.

[@RootsandRestorations]

We will renovate most of the house, but it is a lot for two people.

[@isabelandrademourarodrigue3891]

Onde fica a propriedade. Nao o local exato, mas o concelho ou proximidade

[@RootsandRestorations]

It is in the Coimbra area.

[@CarlosAlberto-ii1li]

You got me, l have no idea but was it to do with ebegging on youtube possibly.

[@sambotros1918]

WHICH country are you originally ???????? HOW MUCH you paid for the house today prices ????

[@RootsandRestorations]

Yvonne is from the Netherlands and I'm from the US. We will talk about the price and buying the house in a future video.

[@1234g7]

You plan to live as Farmers selling your own products or also teaching online?

[@RootsandRestorations]

Can't make a lot of money farming in this area, but we will work online to make money and Yvonne will do some online teaching.

[@isabelandrademourarodrigue3891]

Parece-me que o Miguel é português

[@RootsandRestorations]

No, he is from the US.

[@brucelu4782]

How high is the property tax?

[@RootsandRestorations]

Less than €100 a year.

[@augustoserrano]

Miguel is a Latin name, Portuguese? Spanish?

[@RootsandRestorations]

It is a Spanish/Portuguese name, but I'm from the US and not Spanish/Latin American.... Long story.

[@ThereIsAlwaysaWay2]

Did you take a mortgage? Family lending money? Or saved the whole thing? IT'S HUUUUUUGE.

[@RootsandRestorations]

Hey Dave, great to see you over here! We saved for the place and will talk about the price & buying process in a future video.

[@marsredr100]

Looking forward for that video. Currently less than 3 years from 2nd retirement. We live in Texas 5 acres property but will like to buy a small property or condo in Portugal or Spain as a second home.
