When my grandmother was 78 years old she would go out in both the cool of the morning and the cool of the evening and cut blackberry plants. She took time to make sure the spring holes were deep enough to catch water and easy for both sheep and cattle to drink. She didn't think about reading all day or watching television. She enjoyed knowing she was taking care of her property. She kept it optimized for food plants for both her cattle and sheep. It was what would be considered the perfect balance of silviculture today. It was beautiful with half on the hills and half on the flats. People would say, "Margaret, why do you work so hard every day? Your place is beautiful." She would just smile, shrug her shoulders, and say she liked to. She knew that if she stopped nurturing the trees, water flow, and cutting back the aggressive brambles and invasives her place would be overrun in a year. I compliment and applaud a group of people, and this guy specifically, who have found the joy of putting some intentional sweat in to make something beautiful, productive and healthy. Grandmother had 300 acres (121 Hectares). She worked long enough each day to completely go over it once each year. She lived until she was 99 and worked at this pace even to her last year when cancer got her. This kept her spry and nobody in the area had a better animal production than she did in what constantly looked like paradise. Did you read this entire thing... this monologue is just a thanks for reminding me of a tough kind old lady who changed my life for the better. Keep it up Kamp people.

It was sold in the mid 1980s. She had the opportunity to transition with money to live on without the burden of managing animals to keep the taxes paid. She was able to purchase about 15 acres in the community where she was born to live out her last years with my mom taking care of her (without her realizing she was being taken care of). She lived until she was 99. She was about 90 when she moved to the 15 acre property and spent her last 9 years making much smaller rounds twice a day. Another comment about this lady. She was not my mother's natural mom. She was hired as a nanny to my mom and her siblings when my natural grandmother died of the Spanish Flu during the world wide plague in 1920. She was married to my natural grandfather when she was 16 (her boss) after taking care of his children for three years. When the depression hit in 1929 my grandfather abandoned them to strike it rich in the gold fields of Washington and then floated off to California on his own leaving his children with this girl now just 21. They traveled in a truck doing field work in the Yakima valley for about seven years before finding a place to plant. She continued to be the only stable thing my mom and her siblings ever knew. Her hard working and indomitable spirit attracted a rugged but kind man who later was the only grandfather I knew. I had no idea he was my "step-step" grandpa or that she was not my mom's natural mother. He died about 10 years before she sold that property they had purchased together.

Just for grins, when you begin clearing, especially around the older stone ruins, go around the outside with a metal detector for any possible coins, etc., paying special attention to doorways, pathways, and such. People in the 1800’s, early 1900’s didn’t trust banks very much and frequently buried money, coins, and forgot where they buried it. Just a thought.

For pulling the carts, since they said the rock used to be for drying corn, as the other room looked like it was for storage space, any of the above is possible and as likely, but in Portugal and Spain, using bulls for pulling carts was much more usual, and the brick stables seemed to be very low for horses.

If they are prepared for keeping them, is a good option. They will need (good) fencing, which is not cheap, and someone to take care of them almost exclusively. A better option is to ask someone to do it. I have a friend that works on this, he used to had to ask for permission to graze, but people nowadays even pay him to take the goats to their properties regularly. I'm sure there's someone near base camp that can do it. Keeping goats have some unpleasant tasks included (Sacrificing, milking, medications ...) better let that to the professionals.

My family has a big land here in portugal, madeira island, and we do that, then in the afternoon we put them in their stockyard.

In the USA there are goat ranchers that “rent” their herds . They put the herd of goats on a piece of land , for a specific time or until the land had been cleared to the owners specifications,. The goats do a great job of clean up, . My family owned goats when I was a child and speaking from experience, goats eat plants no other farm animal will eat! And they have HUGE appetites. You’d be shocked at how much a small herd of goats will eat in just a week! These goat ranchers even clear land for cities, parks and large businesses. It’s recognized as an economic and ecologically sound way to keep down overgrowth of plants, help prevent fires by cleaning up the plant growth before it dies and create a fire hazard. The goat rancher gets the money for renting his goat herd and the milk from the goats and the landowner gets cleared land that hasn’t been sprayed with pesticides and the clearing down by goats is cheaper than having men come and cut all the overgrowth.

The three bay building made out of structural clay tiles (close to base Kamp) would be a relatively easy conversion to a 3 unit living space. The gable ends and partition walls seem to be in good condition, so all you need is a roof, windows and doors and likely a floor. This roof structure can be built entirely from mimosa selected for size and straightness. Good experiment to judge the suitability of mimosa round wood harvested on site for future projects. If you have fears of flammability of mimosa, paint it with intumescent paint for fire retardancy.

Once upon a time some people loved this place. It must have been wonderful, I wonder if any of the local people remember how it was. Cool project, hot work!

This is great, thank you. I love the Rose Tower and the giant boulder. The scoop in the top of the boulder looks 'used' for something. It feels like a castle with a moat and surrounding outbuildings.

There's probably more there than you actually realize. There used to be this extremely odd spot in my hometown in the US, it was in the woods, thick woods on either side of a set of train tracks that we used to walk along and hang out on. On the one side, towards a small unused lake, was kinda like this little opening in the thick vegetation, none of us ever went back there... until one day I was cutting through the tracks and I decided to make my way in and see what was back there. Slid my way into the vegetation and cut through a bunch of thick "younger" trees than what lined the tracks, and suddenly came to this super strange opening....there was the greenest, most luscious grass you could imagine, and it was elevated in these short, wall like mounds, like a walkway of grass "building frames" if you were looking at a roofless large building from above with a bunch of rooms inside, but there wasn't a building, it was just grass mounded walkways with deep water where the "rooms" would be if it _was_ a building..... perfect grass platforms you could walk around on surrounded by water somehow seeping in from the lake I'd assumed that was like 500yrds away, but the entire area was just cut out of the thick foliage and trees like a big square. Once I found that super strange area, that was my new hidden spot to just chill and smoke lol.... I ended up bringing a white plastic chair there I spray painted green and brown and left it on one of the "endings" of one of the maze like walkways, and would just sit there surrounded by these grass mounds and water and trees. It had to have been something a hundred or more years ago, the shapes were definitely not a natural occurrence. And I also found near the tracks later on, a very old, early concrete type (old gritty type light brown concrete here in the States with small pebbles embedded), it was a sidewalk of sorts, very wide, and it was about 10ft away from the tracks on the side of the grass mounds further down the tracks....but it had fallen into the woods sliding downhill and it was almost completely covered in grass and foliage... I kicked off a bunch of moss and stuff that's how I figured out it was a sidewalk of sorts....but it went from way down the one end of the tracks where it opened up to the road, all the way almost down to that opening in the trees where those mounds were....but most of it was completely broken and buried and couldn't be seen towards the mound area. Pretty damn cool.

The circular parcel is the perfect place for a goat herd (yes, goats will clear brambles) to do the preliminary clearing. Simply Google "VEVOR Electric Fence Netting, 42.5" H x 164' Lectro Net" to get started. You will need to buy a solar energizer to send the electrical charge through the fence unless one of your folks can build one. Goats will eat everything below four feet. You can also start taking down mimosa around the perimeter and using the poles to build a fence around this area to contain the goats. Save an appropriate stump at 1.5 meters high and nail the poles to it. In combo with the Lectro Net you can make good parcels for clearing. WHen the goats are ready to be moved off a section, the feeder pigs come in to prepare the ground and eat the tops off the mimosa trees you chop and drop. WHen the pigs are done you collect the worthwhile mimosa poles and overseed the soil with local meadow mix.😊

Always been impressed by herders, you sir are a genius. Here in the low desert of California we have a herder who takes a few dozen goats around clearing as a business, eating and seeding the desert...it's amazing to see the results. 😎

It might not be a bad idea to trim the oak tree back to make it less top heavy. I'm pretty sure you can cut off 30% at least so it has less bulk, to minimize wind damage.

Fun exploration of long-abandoned agriculture space. Portugal is filled with overgrown small farms and interesting stuff to find and ask what was this or that used for. That small ruin with the burned clothing seems like a barn of some kind. The remains of that aluminum pot with holes in it is used for roasting chestnuts. Our local old folks have a long disagreement on whether or not metal blades on brush cutters is allowed this time of year due to spark risk. The tijolo brick ruin could have housed animals or stored feed or grains. Nice.

A small herd of about six goats could clear the weeds, bushes and saplings from this property in a couple of months, if you installed a goat-proof fence. My parents did this with an overgrown piece of forested land to clear out the undergrowth and to keep the land beneath the trees cleared. Other than installing the fence, the goats did all the work, and they were much more quiet than chainsaws and other machinery.

There is a farm here in Missouri, on the Gasconade River and our farm is about 300 years old. Unlike our farm, around 1000 acres, his is miles long and deep, so his family owned many enslaved people to work the farm. In fact, his house has walls that are 5 to 6 feet of rock, so it needs little heat in the summer and minimal coloring in the summer (he had slave labor to build it). When slave-owning was outlawed, the farm owner gave each enslaved person one acre of land and let the slave pick were his acre was to be. Then paid each formerly enslaved person for their acre of land, all but one. That one acre is dead center in the most significant field and has not been touched for almost 260 years has a fence around it old, growth trees, and 50 or 60 deer living in there. The owner lives somewhere in St Louse.

You need a metal detector! Interesting property and no telling what's hidden out of sight! Where I live is very historical area and all kinds of relics are constantly being found! When you see water and a protective barrier there is usually treasure to be found like pottery and coins and gold! Happy hunting!!

I think, upon acquiring the land legally, I would clear cut the fields/grass patches to grow crops. I would clean out the overflow channel for the well to keep it working properly. And I would clear out the debris around the ruin structures in order to photograph and document them. (as you did) ~Kevin

You've got a lot of work which seems to be well underway ; I notice several Bushes that are so equally spaced they must be something special. The buildings seem to offer a perfect opportunity for some metal detection inside and out, to determine their origins etc - who knows what lies hidden in those old walls too. Good Luck!
