I would love to be on a large piece of land, but it’s not what will be suitable for me. I am near retirement, single and don’t want to own a car. So a small village, an electric bike and bus routes to larger towns is more realistic for me. I don’t want to spend my old age on a tractor pulling weeds on a hectare, I think it could easily become overwhelming. You have given good advice. Sometimes the dream isn’t a reality or practical or suitable.

@@ourportuguesehomestead Like you, Leah, I am an introvert. Since I am well into retirement a village or close to the village house is what I would like. A gracious home, a large garden, neighbors to interact with when the desire to socialize is present and with whom I can build friendships and who might notice if I were not active in my normal routines. Aging in place also requires proximity to healthcare as our active maintenance of good health becomes more of a priority. Proximity to groceries, pharmacies, transportation and such become more important too. Unfortunately, Covid has made spur of the moment jumping onto a plane to cross the Atlantic and search for a home more problematic. At this point it is a waiting game that requires patience to be able to search for that home.

A very reasoned account of the realities of purchasing land in Portugal. So many buy what they believe is going to be a beautiful life and seriously underestimate just how hard they will have to work to achieve their dream. Your tips about having a pot of money put aside to meet your needs is very important, as many underestimate the costs involved in either renovation and the equipment needed. We bought a ruin in SW France and have had to spend as much on renovation as it cost to buy the property. Land does not maintain itself and again, it requires a lot of hard work. We have an acre of land and it is enough for us to manage sensibly. Wise words Leah and maartin.

Hey Lea, really good tip about the water - if you'd allow me to add a couple of things on that. If you are planning to move to Portugal and use stream water to water gardens or for animals it's paramount to ask for a permit - well at least in the North of Portugal:) We're lucky in the North our streams don't dry as often as in the middle or south of Portugal. :) And Yes, Martin is right, being kind to your neighbor is so important here. Portuguese people are some of the friendliest and will generally want to help out nice people we're also seeing this in the North. Contrary to other countries we've lived in, in Portugal people love foreigners and they are so surprised when someone picks their area. LOL I mean, we're just clearing our land now and it's the talk of the village. People come to see us with eyes wide open and full of hopes and still cannot believe that we pick their hamlet to set up a new life. People here are humble and being equally humble goes a long way.

I love the common sense of both of your suggestions. The best (but not the only) great point was: "be humble" and "don't be a dick". That would exclude a lot of Americans (I am one) who go abroad and expect to be catered to in governmental matters as well as their neighbors' behavior. Blending into an established culture is something we have forgotten since our ancestors came over from the Old Country. Great points and blended so well into what I have seen myself after having lived abroad and visited more countries than I can count and have seen exactly what you are talking about. Not only Americans, but, generally, almost all nationalities find themselves doing the same thing. Those who are humble succeed. Those who are not lose their shirts when they find that they can't buck the system.

Nicely done. And right on point. Italy as well has very strict land use rules. They don't allow residential building on agricultural land. You can only apply for a permit if there was a structure there before and can be proven on the land registry maps. But in actuality, it has only been a little over 100 years in Italy where maps, contracts or anything like that was required to buy or sell property. So finding proof could be tough, even if there is still a square of foundation stones lying there. Same approach with children inheriting property. On old contracts often you see several people in one family who own it, and their spouses. That's because the parents had no will. That same situation still exists today. Italians I know don't have wills. They know the parent's property automatically goes to the children in Italy. "Let them sort it out for themselves" seems to be the attitude haha. This is another reason why so many big houses and land are divided up so each family member can have a piece of the inheritance. Even so, the Comune may not allow the owner to build on agricultural land with an old foundation, or it could take years, I have heard stories where it can take up to 10 years to get a permit. I kid you not. And if you build before you have the permit, they literally make you tear it down, or they will send workers to do it. Also, you can make all kinds of changes inside your house (of course you have to pay a surveyor and notary who is like a property lawyer in Italy to change the floorplan) but if you want to create a door, or add a window, or God forbid, add an extension haha, it really become a very expensive challenge that can also test a person's patience. I think Portugal may be easier than Italy in these matters, as you know you can build a home on your land. I thought to share all this because for me, since I live here, it's very interesting, and a definite reflection of the wonderful Italian culture. Many people come here because it seems to never change, and keeps its charm. Now you know why haha. God bless you all.

Really useful advice, well done! I remembered many of our issues touched on your points when we bought our land. If I can just add a couple of things to your points people may find useful... The water contamination issue also has to take into account arable land nearby, as phosphates and chemical fertilisers can get into streams and wells. Also, the flexibility in your list of needs is, from my point of view, the most important point. We ended up buying something totally different to what we originally wanted, simply because when we found it we realized it was what we ACTUALLY wanted and not what we THOUGHT we wanted. 🤣

Also people who are nearer to retirement age wishing to live and set up a homestead in a rural area need to think very carefully about their capabilities to physically to manage the land, to be realistic about the need and cost of tools and machinery needed to keep the land in reasonable condition, the remoteness of the property and the distance to a town with shops and medical facilities. I am coming up to 68 and have been farming in a remote area since I was 35, there are aspects of my lifestyle I am having to change, adapt to and cut back on.

Another great vlog. As you guys said, rural homesteading takes time, money and work. Usual manual labour, sometimes building, managing power tools, rotine chores if you have animals, etc. Its things most of us used to city life and mental jobs are not used to. It takes time to realize and learn and get use to it. Its possible to trade some time and work for money. Even so, it will take more time and work that most people think. I have seen lots of places, the more and most well established are the small ones ( under 1 hectar, usually less then 1/2 hectar), most of them owned by older north european countries couples that choose pt for retirement... A point i would consider is: buy land with a decent building, usually not off grid, and connected to good roads, that you can live in straight away. It saves lots of time, work and money. I would say it saves a decade...

Hi Lea and Martin The idea that you're a guest in Portugal is very important. One of more obvious points is that you'll will have to learn Portuguese to communicate your needs and wants. Although in many larger urban cities students are taught English, it cannot be assumed that in rural areas that this is always the same. Plus there are regional accents as well. If people count on how they lived in their original country to be the same as Portuguese culture, then they're going to be in for a great surprise. As my language teacher told me that the language is the culture. I'm sure Puck and Beau will have an advantage to be tri-lingual. There is definitely a large disconnect between dreams and reality. Thank you for the sage advice.

We live in the Netherlands for years now and grew disillusioned by the careers and lifestyle. Having worked on farms in New Zealand in the past, lately we came to the conclusion about what the next move needs to be for us, and with greater clarity than about any other project before. We are currently saving up all we can to make this happen but we are also coming down to Portugal this April to scout the regions and have a better grasp of what should we be looking for and where. Being able to join a community of like-minded people is one of the two top priorities for both of us. Sounds like Castelo Branco is a good region for that but due to other potential plans we would like to also look closer to the coast, maybe in Santarem. I’d love to visit your lovely family and farm some time. I’m currently in the stage when it’s hard to focus on my work because I want to catch up with all your videos.

Great video very informative. I would add that trying to learn the language is essential. Also keep in mind that coming to live off grid does not mean that people will create their own mini-state with their own rules (or no rules). Sometimes people think they are coming to the jungle and consider the local people as primitive. A minimum of respect (and civilised behaviour) is essential no matter how isolated one chooses to live. Those with children should take the opportunity to learn the language in local schools and live with other children. Do not create your own ghettos. Sometimes you read about people who want to implement home schooling. I don't think it's a great idea if this style of schooling is exclusive; as a complementary one it would be ideal. As for feelings of entitlement to this and that, it is better not to be arrogant as there are not only rights but also obligations and responsibilities. I think you are doing great, slowly and realistic but well settled.

All good info. As a sort history buff, I find it interesting that this advice would have applied even in the 19th century here in the US, when all those "homesteaders" were moving to "the West" many of them without appropriate planning like mentioned in this video. Our history is replete with stories of families having to stop somewhere short of their destination, having to turn back, becoming destitute, starving, land disputes, or dying from exposure, even cannibalism in at least one famous case. My point, I suppose, is to note that not just today but even long ago it seemed idyllic, even romantic, to leave behind city life to live a pastoral farming life.

This is so refreshing to here someone saying they like being alone. I seem to be the only one in my family like this, and I dont think they understand why I wouldnt want to be always out and socialising. Really interesting and useful video about an area I have been looking at. Thank you.
