День тому

We left the UK between lockdowns to buy a farm in Portugal and found a beautiful ruin in the Coimbra district which, we plan to restore to its former glory with some personal touches. Here, we show the property and give you a little tour.
Follow our journey in Portugal while we renovate our abandoned house. We would love to know your thoughts while we are documenting our life in Portugal. Maybe you know about the materials we’ll use, have been there before, know about native trees, etc.
How much do you think we paid for this property? Let us know in the comments below!

Who's The Indigo Escape?
We are Omar and Andrea and have been together for about 13 years. We met in Brighton, UK, and are originally from South Africa and Venezuela. We have run a small tour company since 2011 in the south of England. Unfortunately due to the pandemic, we had to close our business for now. Therefore, we decided to bring forward our plan to move to Portugal with a tight budget.
We don’t have any other source of income but wanted to show how it is possible to relocate, get your dream home, and with a lot of work, get to have the lifestyle you want in the countryside.

We are very excited to present our first video of our project in Portugal. This was the 14th property (out of 15) we visited in this area of Coimbra and decided that this was the one with the most character, the one we could make more our own and the one that had the most potential. Let us know what you think and thanks for watching! :)

Summer can be very hot so roof skylights could be tricky...better to open a window in the wall. Keep the roof tradicional with wooden beams just add 50 mm insulation under the ceramic roof tiles and a reflective cloth...great project! Welcome to Portugal , you'll enjoy it!

I had a few Venezuelans we sponsored for work in the US, but they both returned to Venezuela or stayed there long before Madero sold off their country. Maybe they work for the Chinese or Russians by now? In Mexico, we traveled extensively by car - our favorite places are: Puerto Vallarta, Huatulco, and Guanajuato. San Juan Allende was a town with narrow streets, a messy central market and exhaust fumes, but Guanajuato was a magical city like being in Europe - it was an amazing experience. We wish you outstanding experiences in Portugal - a country with a truly amazing history and a most beautiful language!!!
@TheIndigoEscape

oh wow That's amazing. Venezuelans have had to leg it since a while ago. I hope they found a good place to be. Guanajuato sounds like a nice place. We would really like to visit Oaxaca as well sometime. Thank you very much, the language has been a bit of a challenge but people have been so patient with us :)

I enjoy renovating houses and have had rental property my entire life. Your project is a huge amount of work, so we wish you good luck with it. I like the way they build in Mex. with cement and rebar, but it can make upgrading or remodeling very difficult. I hope to sell my HUGE house, because it's a lot of work maintaining and upgrading - everything is expensive, too.
@TheIndigoEscape
@TheIndigoEscape 2 роки тому
Mexican houses are absolutely gorgeous. Frida Kahlo's property (now museum) is an amazing example. Also in San Miguel de Allende, we felt in love with the architecture. I think some of it could be incorporated in our house, specially the courtyard. Sell a huge house, get a smaller one: easier to maintain a clean for sure! :D

@TheIndigoEscape
@TheIndigoEscape 7 місяців тому
For sure! During the summer is much better to work indoors as the heat is unbearable sometimes. We also have longer breaks during the afternoon from about 12 - 3pm and try to start earlier. During the winter months it's mostly the rain that can be quite tricky but amazing for opening holes as the land has softened. Any trenches and such is a good idea. It's also a good tiem to do any pointing during the sunny days as then the mix doesnt dry up as fast!
@MacAlex

Good luck with your new property! You might consider using metal screens (heavy-duty) and concrete to hold together the rubble stone walls. Then plaster and paint on the outside. Get a contractor's help to do the work, so the rubble stone walls can be kept where needed.
@TheIndigoEscape
@TheIndigoEscape 3 роки тому
That’s Steve, that sounds good. Are you referring to a concrete ring? Yes, the wall part will probably be done by professionals. As well as the roof!
@stevewalden3814
@stevewalden3814 3 роки тому
Think of wire mesh attached to both sides of the cobblestone wall, then make a solid concrete surface on both sides of the wall. [The concrete fastened to the wire mesh and the wire mesh fastened to the existing cobblestone wall.]. The result is smooth on both sides of the existing wall, but much stronger than the existing wall.

My wife Antonia is Brazilian and likes speaking Portuguese, but when we visited Portugal there wasn't a lot to do in some of these towns. I like Mexico where it's also economical and there's very nice beaches and lots of tourists. When I sell our house, I'll spend more time in Mexico.

I'm considering to move to Portugal when I retire in 5 years. First step, I'm selecting the areas which would suit me better, probably Figueira da Foz. When you look for properties, you see lots of ruins or houses in very bad conditions to refurbish, mainly outside towns... it would be difficult for me as I don't drive... But well, I still have 5 years to go... Congrats on your choice... and good luck with everything

Thank you very much Ornella. I think there are ruins in Figueira da Foz, located in the centre but they do go fast and many are not even with agencies, so the only way to know about them its by being here and ask at the local cafes. This is common practice. It's always worth, when closer to the date of moving here, to get a mailing list notification from, for example, Idealista to get the latest deals. Also, contact the agencies and leave your contact with a description of what you are looking for so you are one of the first to know when a property becomes available. They may even contact you before they publish it online.

@@TheIndigoEscape Thanks a lot for the advices, very much appreciated. I think it would be good at first to go there and discover the cidade, to be sure I really like it there, and when the time arrives, to rent first for about 6 month, so I have the time to find the good home for me :-)

You should get an architect and have, at the very least, a proper idea of how to rebuild this house while keeping most of it's original looks and characteristics. There's nothing sadder that seeing those beautiful organic rural houses being butchered during renovation. I know of a young architect specialized in restructuring old traditional Portuguese houses. PM me if you are interested. And remember that a regional rural house properly renovated following lines that respect it's integrity will INDEFINITELY GAIN in value with time while newer houses or bad renovations won't.

We go most summers to Mexico and we feel very safe there, but of course some places in Mexico are not secure, but I've spent a lot of time there and not too many problem issues. If you travel, you need to be aware of scams, of course. There are good people everywhere and in Coimbra we had a shop fix our glasses and they refused to take any payment. We still have some souvenirs from there and we were very happy with the quality of some eye glasses we bought for our youngest daughter, too. Still, Europe has some issues just like the USA and we notice some smaller countries TREAT PEOPLE BETTER. Big Gov. is a big problem.

It definitely depends where you go. We have been to Querétaro, San Miguel De Allende. Amazing towns, gorgeous! And felt mostly very safe. Even DF, when we went, we just visited areas we felt safe and it was fine. We love DF. Also Tulum, Cozumel and PDC. Also, all good! I can totally believe the story with your daughter. Portugal has the friendliest people we have met and as a Venezuelan I felt very welcomed. I think the biggest factor is family nearby.

Congrats guys, i´m thinking 25k because i have a quinta in coja ( not to far away ) & we paid peanuts. Ok that was almost 10 years old. Anyway i wish you all the luck in your epic project. There are many eco warrior guys in that area, so you should´nt feel too lonely. You could get lots of helpx or workaway,s to help you but i´m guessing the covid will limit that. Really in my experience you should get a portuguese or german trades men who know projecto ruina,s.

Thanks for watching Mr. Reeves! We are thinking about the workaways, that’s a good idea though at the moment it’s a bit difficult. Luckily, we know some builders already. Once we cover the basics, we get cracking! You weren't that far off, our next video details the costs involved for the purchase! ukposts.info/have/v-deo/gXh4jISBbWxzrIk.html
