Phew! What a ride!
Exciting times ahead.... if all goes smoothly i shall fly to Paraguay in late october or early november.

If anyone will be in Asuncion and wants to grab a coffee or a "terere" with moi and my 4 legged companion, do gives us a shout.

I am totally shocked at the amount of poisonous creatures in the nation and my brain just worries about my unruly friend who chases just about anything. Oh well.... it will all work out somehow, always does😅

I am having 2 summers this year, bring on the tan😁

HI,
I have a viewing this week end for the sale but I could consider that yes

Great idea. Where are you thinking? How big the land?.... check out my posts see if it clicks
Cheerio

Edit Also this is a nearby land

This area has a lot to offer and is away from fires/mining projects, and close ish to the border as well as close to the big lake

Pig's ears were super popular a while back. The dog I had prior to the one I have now would salivate like crazy just by saying the word "pigs ear"..... he loved it.
I use a kong now filled with peanut butter for this one and a knotted robe that he loves to chew.... we go for 1 hr walk in the morning and 1 hr in the evening.... he doesnt handle well to be tied up or locked as is high energy.... his outdoor area is full of holes and has broken several chains despite his small size.... so heaps of exercise are a must.

The only time any of my dogs have had problems with rawhide is if the wrong size or shape for them. The rolled shapes can be a problem that way. My big dog got a piece of pencil-width rawhide roll wedged across the roof of his mouth once, and it was distressing to him and hard to pry out. Then when he had a larger baton-sized roll he swallowed the last inch-long nub whole and it made him throw up. Never had any problems with the flat squares, though. Particularly now they make them with perforations.

I encourage you to look at the link i sent previously regarding the "mining projects" their site "coincidentally" states
"The vast areas mapped naturally coincide with phenomena that also affect large areas of the territory, such as forest fires. To date, we are not aware of any direct causal relationship between these phenomena and extractive industry activities, nor of any statistical studies that suggest a correlation beyond mere coincidence. — September 17th 2024"

there is no secret that when people dont want to sell their properties, some fire "motivates" them to do so, forcing them to sell for pennies. Nothing new.

Areas covered in eucaliptus or large "mono cultures" bring pesticides that become airborn (ie Santarem, leiria for monocultures and Castelo branco area as part of the fire belt of eucaliptus plantations)

Much more expensive is Algarve..... Alentejo is an up and coming area, yet very infra developed and under populated, pesticide free...
I do agree with you there is land to be found cheaper, and you will find many expats flocking there..... i chose this area to avoid investing and losing all to fire.

I was under the impression you wanted to buy land and allow people to move in with their own home (bungalow or similar) i didnt get the impression you needed multiple ruins in one piece of land. Maybe you will find it. In Spain there are abandoned towns which might be cheaper and more convenient perhaps.

I wish you all the best on your search.

i dont get notified when people answer my posts.... what am i doing wrong ?

Luckily i noticed your answer.

Not sure if i can post this here but near where i live there are 6 hectares available for a reasonable price.

super close to the massive dam/lake.

then there are much much bigger lands available too.... so if your pocket is deep, this area might tickle your curiosity.
Mind the "fire belt" area in Portugal and double check "mining projects" ..... terrible "accidental fires" that devastated the THEN prime coastal areas (last summer).... It reminded me of Lahaina somehow...

you can drop me a line via telegram/signal or email if you prefer. Would be interesting to pick your brain a little.

edit  for your reference this one is also one of my close by "neighbours" selling their property. This one is awesome if you have the cash to splash. they were called "restautante dos avestruces" it was a restaurant i am told but has been shut a few years since the "RONA"

Here we are 2026.... time flies when you are having fun😁

Despite the keen interest of the potential buyers it would seem their conditional sale of their property had not yet come to fruition.... so it is just fair to update this post and see what happens.  

I am open to long term rent, sale or land share.
Located by the biggest lake in western Europe away from the fire belt or "mining" prospect areas that have recently triggered so many "accidental fires".

All in all, a quiet, nature filled, simple living area, perfect for couples.

all a coincidence, fires and mining 😉

Hi Pascal,
which area are you looking at?
Have you considered Alentejo by the "big lake"?

Good day Andrey,
Moving to Portugal from Ukraine I see, I wonder why Portugal?

I am assuming you traveling by yourself, there are plenty of communities in Portugal. Not sure what exactly you might have in mind.
Maybe this site might help
https://www.agartha.one/map

It has a list of some communities.

I have no idea how to attach pictures in this forum but drop me a line on my email if you curious. laneta.laneta.100@protonmail.com

Here is just me and my 4 legged fur baby in rural inland Portugal. Has a wonderful lake and fresh water beaches but is not a touristy spot or expat place, locals here are 65+ and the most entertaining thing to do is to listen to the birds chirp. No community or hang out spots with a tribe unless you go spend some time down the bar with the granpas.😁

2 hr drive from Lisbon.
I wish you find what you are looking for.

Please treat us with some more pix of your progress, i find those most inspiring.
Blessings
