We bought an abandoned stone farm house and land in Portugal.
In this episode we explore the main house on the property.
We’re Meraid and Dan and we moved from England to Portugal in 2021 to build a new more gentle and meaningful life in the countryside.
We hope you love this beautiful old house as much as we do.
We’re probably a little bit bonkers taking on this massive project. But sometimes you have to do what your heart tells you.
We’d be thrilled if you like this video and hit the SUBSCRIBE Button and join us on our big adventure to make this our dream home.
Thank you.
Meraid and Dan

You just showed me snippets of my " other " life. As a child spending my summers there, for myself ,it was such a big house in those days and so full of life. the dinning room you showed , at times there would be about 30 people sitting there , enjoying the delicious Portuguese food that would come out of that tiny kitchen , " a minha Tia " sure was a great cook. The room you call the living room was the room were we slept, and yes there was a sewing where my poor mother spent many hours making clothing, as she was a seamstress. Thankyou for bringing back to life the Memories of so long ago , the Good Old Days of Summer at the Farm.
This farm house needs some loving care.
At age 55, even still very young at heart, it would take too many years to get it done. How many years left for me to kick back to enjoy? Just a thought 😁 for myself but I'm glad you are doing it. 👍😁
The equipment is called a drag.
and you are going to rebuild all of that by yourself?
A huge property with a lot of potential. I wish you could make it shine everywhere with loving care.
Good luck, be happy here in Portugal.
Just wanted to say I absolutely adore your videos and the way you are documenting your journey. I love your natural style on camera and look forward to many more episodes to see how things progress. Wishing you every success and know that the efforts you go through to bring content is sincerely appreciated by this lad all the way across the globe in Australia (and – I am sure, many others who follow you both feel the same).
Must have been so fun to explore when you first found the place! Hope you keep making videos so we can see what you do with the renovation. Cheers from New York!
As caixas grandes de madeira eram para colocar os cereais e também para salgar a carne de porco para se conservar todo o ano. Os bancos das janelas chamam-se namoradeiras, as raparigas bordavam aí os seus enxovais e também namoravam aí. As caixas também serviam para colocar os cobertores de inverno.
You are a couple of brave adventurers that's for certain ! Wonderfully interesting property . I can't wait to see how you get on with it .
Amazing place! I'll look forward to following along as you renovate!
Absolutely stunning house! It no doubt brought a lot of joy to many people for years when it was originally lived in. I am so glad that you will be restoring it. It certainly deserves a second life, and for some new memories made in it.
Fabulous. Who is that handsome chap on your aria???😂
The foundation of that house could have been there for thousands of years. Catholics, Muslims. Generations of struggles. Good years, bad years. Crusades. Empires.
I recognized the confession booth the moment you showed it
🌟👏👍🍀💐
Ahh It just needs a fresh coat of paint and a some decorative molding 🙂
That is one heck of a project you bought there!
Dan (or should I say Poldark), is getting to be a talented presenter. Absolutely loved this episode. Thank you for sharing this amazing journey with us. I LOVE where you have your morning coffee, hope to be sharing a coffee with you right there sometime in the not too distant future. Love you x
Beautiful!!! I can see why you purchased this place. Thanks for sharing.
…this property is spectacular, full of potential… it would probably be a priest's house… All the best…✌😉
"The Soul at the Feet of Jesus, Devout Exercises" is a devotional book of prayers. 💕
loved it
That’s a project. Do you have water and electricity to the site? Is this the same property with the well you were cleaning? Great videos.
You have confirmed it for me. Absolutely potty. You must be to take that on at any age, let alone yours.
Thanks for the housetour, where in portugal are you, where to find such lovely buildings? Coimbra aria?
Hope to see you when I am in PT…
Amazing house
Thank you showing us around your lovely property. The mystery farm implement is what I would know as a Dutch Harrow, although this is probably not what it is called in Portugal.
👍💖 Beautiful…
What an amazing place! Thank you for sharing.
Those jars glass are "clisteres" precisely what you said to alleviate constipation problems: full of warm water ,some salt and a spoon of olive oil…with some missing rubber pipe and the plastic tip ….very effective to empty the bowels 😄
I always thought the boxes were for salting a pig!
You've got yourself a stunning piece of property there. A lot of work as you say but it will be lovely to breathe life back into the walls again. So very lucky.
Looking forward to seeing you guys progress. 👍🏼
Wow interesting building, wonder what the history is of that site, looks like maybe the farmhouse was built over older ruins?
what a stunning house, those love seats made my heart flutter, how exciting …love it❤
Where do you sleep?
that farming tool is a harrow and in portuguese is a grade agricula antiga 🙂
The boxes are for salting piggy 😍
You mentioned something called "rain" what is that?
eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler….👍👍👍👍
