Hi Everybody!,

I made a post in Iberia area bon the forum but thought I should spread the opportunity further. I own a nice little piece of property in Portugal Central close to Nazare (4kms( the land has been used for many years as a winter getaway from Canada and it has some infrastructure already roads and gate plus alot of clearing so areas to use and onsite Solar for the workshop which doubles as a cottage and water capture system. the place is nice why I dont want to sell. I would partner with someone if it makes them feel better to stay longterm . do something official through Notary. I open to suggestions. I will not be here after the spring 2027 I have work opportunity but id drop in a few months every winter, well probably nothing is certain about my next adventure.

It has been sitting for a few years with periodic visits but only to check on it see if anything stolen. Good news is nothing gone so thats nice. it is not remote but its off grid and very private. I am here now cleaning it up and put it back in semi normal condition but I think I will only do plants that need very little water so when im gone everything just doesn't die.

Very sad to see all the flowers gone to weeds but its the way it goes. I am thinking an intentional travelers spot would be cool. A few vans can stay at a time and alot of camping places so even people with cars can come. It would be pretty free but rules would be easy, the normal respect and such. Do a rotation kind of concept where noone gets held down to long we just all work together so the chickens get water and what not. I have not added any other animals yet chickens are so easy.

I am an Artist so creatives are obviously welcome especially musicians so loud music is possible just not looking for doing parties unless its just private BBQs and that type.

I guess what Im saying is there any interest in something like this by anyone or people out there looking for this??? let me know i will answer any questions anyone has.

Enjoy the day!

Hi Everyone!

I have not been on here for a few years after a location change and a life bump that disrupted me in many ways but one in particular was my land in Portugal.

It has been semi abandoned for about 4 years and I would like to find someone or more even a group travelling together that would be interested in an opportunity and possible more. I was going to sell it a few years ago but I couldn't do it so I just kept it and passed by when I could. Long story short I am going to stay for the winter and put some things back in order so it can be workable again.

It would be great to hear from anyone in Europe already or anyone who is looking to come this way but thought where? Im happy to discuss options. Right now it is just me and my 2 dogs who are great.

The land is large enough 7acres and there is a few areas , set back .5 km from the road so private. I have a workshop that doubles a s a cabin and has solar and i capture water off the roof, there is a shower and woodstove all need some getting back to normal, Im on that now.

Feel free to send me messages to find out more
Enjoy the day

Thats the beauty of medronhos, just cut it right back to the base it will grow right back. Fruits take time but its pretty all stages. I heard best way to be productive is to take root stalk. There are other ways but thats the best way.

Hi Burra, have you thought of Medrohnos strawberry trees, they are good fire retardant barriers. They also grow back easy. Im about to take out many and the root stock is what you want to plant. If interested let me know. Best of love on the recovery, its never easy

Hi Ted its been a bit, hows it going? I wanted to talk again but cant find your email. You ever think about supplying architects with plants? With your primary water and road routes to babylon could be an idea. I just talked to one in LA who wants olive trees, in portugal i can get many could be a great convo.

Where abouts are you? Im a guy, but think similar, sometimes i ponder what if we owners joined and made a network of dreams spots. Vacation styles. Join together for vacation community, i dunno sometimes i think alot. Im in central Portugal Nazare n Alcobaca.

Hi everyone, i am trying to find a company or rather a person because i lost their contact info. All i remember is his name was Antonio and he had a permaculture design company and was based in Porto. Thought maybe he might be on here.
Earlier this year i had somone at the property who put an ad on a facebook group to sell an old hymer for parts. Antonio put a deposit and has not contacted me since. I have tried contacting the person who posted the ad originally but no luck.

Since i dont use facebook i cannot get on this particular forum, "hymerclassics"i even tried signing up to facebook but my id was rejected, cant believe i even tried but after a few frustrating hours i gave up and came here.
I really want to get in touch with Antonio so he can pick up his parts,
hopefully someone knows him here
Thanks

If you talk to the gardeners down in the algarve, they shake their heads and tell you how dry it is, and poor the soil. I’m looking at moving to the center of the country myself. Seems to be the best climate and location to me. I hope I can find some place like yours!
I’m hoping to get back over there and see the big waves before the season is over.

Hi John I travelled the whole country and i agree the center is the best. This area is very special and tgere are big waves up to April, some of the march storms have brought some huge swells. If you need info let me know, happy to help. Im pretty good at knowing the sweet spots. Love going for drives down the less teavelked routes

A few more pictures. Cottage is like 6 m x 15+m i will pass inside pics in time. These are just old pics i have.

Good New Year to all doing this program.
I joined a few months ago just to search community out there online. Common interest threads n such. You can read my posts there are not many.
Over the last weeks reflections I have decided to put out an opportunity to various spots. I like permies so here ya go.
In October I lost my Dad. He was the last of my Family and there is no one bloodline that I will be leaving any property to. When I was at my lawyers doing a will I realized my special spot better go to someone who appreciates it.
For a quick background I purchased 7 acres in the center of Portugal for my Parents to retire. It was a slow project but in a great spot. 4 years ago my Mom Died so my Dad and I continued. Then covid ensued caused the chaos we all felt. He got sick from a medical clinic visit and passed. Sad times.

We never started the final plans of cottages and now I am looking for a next generation that I could provide a unique possibility for their generational wealth. Its kind of a blank canvas with good infrastructure.

We finished a great workshop that is now a cottage fully operational offgrid. I live here now.

There are so many things to discuss with anyone interested. My question is.. Is, anyone interested in moving to Portugal and making a commitment to a long term plan?

My location is 3 kms to Nazare in the Alcobaca region. Silver Coast Portugal.
