Hi there! I am Joseph.
I have been an immigrant / expat living in central Portugal along with my beautiful girlfriend Mariana for seven years now.
Together Mariana, my father Clinton and myself, would like to show you a bit of the daily goings on around our Portuguese farm / homestead / smallholding and all of the work we are doing whilst renovating, starting building projects, working with our livestock, DIY and trying to grow our little families own food!
In this episode we welcome you to join us in Early Autumn as we are given a tour around our friends farm, which is for sale, in a rural mountain village in central Portugal.
We start the virtual tour by introducing ourselves on a beautiful private track leading down to the farm as we explain the location of this wonderful gem of a farm and a little about the surroundings and local amenities.
We begin by walking up the short private shingle track, which gives fantastic access to the farm, just a few metres away from a tarmac road. Then we step onto the property itself, the first thing we see as we look around is electricity posts connecting to this farm, then we walk down towards the granite building on the land. It is a 140m2 building with a covered parking area that is attached to the back. It can be increased in size though to make it a larger building if needed.
Mariana and I both walk inside the little building and take a look around at all of the old tools and instruments for agriculture. There are lots of signs that this place once had a lot of life in it, I hope this comes back to this beautiful place.
After the building we walk past the olive grove, which has roughly one hundred olive trees, some young, some mature. The owners were picking the olives here and it was a treat to be able to talk with them for a while, whilst they worked away.
That brings us to the next building on the land, it is a complete ruin and is situated right next to the olive grove. It has a very similar footprint of the first building and once renovated would make an amazing bed and breakfast style cottage, overlooking the farm.
As we walk along the farms boundary line we can see lots of well cared for mature vines, this would produce a good few hundred litres of wine every year!
Then we come to the well, which is rather large, roughly around 8 metres in diameter, there are a few orange trees next to this well and it is situated on the north pasture. The pastures are green and lushious here, the reason for that it the pure amount of water irrigating them year round.
Which brings us nicely onto the lake, the lake is a private fishing lake of 3,340m2. A beautiful lake indeed!
I wish you all a very pleasant week ahead and I hope to see you all in the next one! Bye bye for now!
See our journey to self-sufficiency / permaculture / organic farming living in Portugal, trying to produce as much of our own food planting vegetables, growing fruit trees as well as looking after all our animals, such as our chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, quail, rabbits and sheep – Shortly pigs too!

Outstanding property. "Jealous" of the lucky potential owner. Surely it can't get any better than this. Well done Joseph and Mariana for showing this property. You folks make homesteading very attractive indeed. I will be very interested in making contact when I do visit next spring. Hope your Dad is on the mend. Best wishes.

I watch this wondering what's the catch… What are the downsides of moving from the UK to Portugal? Seems like a straight trade-up.

Crikey, that's a lot of land. Very nice property, but probably too big for me. How is your dad doing ?
Wow, what potential that farm has. Someone is going to be very happy there. Good luck with your own olive harvest Joseph. Also, I hope your Dad is doing well. Have a good week. X 👍
Very nice indeed.
