Hi Pina! So nice to her some other likeminded people in this area
We are a couple from Denmark and spain and we almost decided to buy a land near Fundão:) althought we are still looking. We would love to meet people from this area and maybe you could give us some tips beforehand buying?
There are do many things to consider consider before taking the step! And this is our first venture.
Any tips about things to consider or good threads or books to check?
Thank you and hopefully see you swoon

We are living in inland Portugal in a very beautiful wild and welcoming area. To cut a long story short, what we would like most is to see the land around us being rehabilitated, restored, and rejuvenated by like-minded people using permaculture or any other land-loving practices.
If this sounds like you, then get in touch because we are happy to help people find land by pointing them in the right direction to locals with land for sale, chatting about the pro's and con's of living in our area, giving information about how to conduct a sale/purchase successfully, and introducing you to people you might be inspired by or interested in.
This will suit people who are proactive and actively searching for land because we are not keen to source land for people or anything like that. We just want to help out like-minded people and hopefully persuade you to come and live in our area!
Why?
Because the land needs you. We live near the village of Monsanto (I know! But its actually a village in Portugal and means Sacred Mountain!) in the district of Idanha-a-Nova. While traditional farming practices have decimated the top soil, removed most of the indigenous forest, and generally degraded the environment, its amazing how rich this area still is in essential resources like water, terraced land, fruit trees, and really friendly locals.
For a small capital outlay you can buy say 2 hectares with water, a stone barn, and olive and fruit trees. Its a good start! The rest is up to you. Come and help us restore this land to the paradise that it was and can be again.
Think Geoff (Lawton) and think thriving abundance and come and do it here!
yours ever so hopefully!
