Destino Portugal

3 роки тому

Welcome to Destino Portugal, we hope you enjoy this content!
We have recently bought a little house and ruin in Portugal with some land following our dream to move to Portugal and have a more fulfilling and sustainable lifestyle.
Fed up with the 9-5 rat race and living in what we consider to be an unhealthy enviroment we have decided to make our move before its too late and we are sat filled with regrets...
We can only apologise for the poor quality of our editing, its very challenging learning new skills, give me an old building to restore and youll see where i am supposed to be, in my element, but anyway, we hope you get some inspiration from the first tour of our new project.
We have a new roof going on the ruin shortly and work will start in the main house too. We hope to build an extension on the main house, planning approval willing and the ruin will be a holiday let/air B&B.
These videos were shot over three seperate visits we made before our offer was accepted, in the still moments please focus on the dead quiet, the peace and tranquility and the jaw dropping views.
There are various extreme sports activities on the mountain and all of the properties but one in the village are holiday lets for Portuguese visitors, this is where the locals come to holiday!
So if you want to follow the transformation of the buildings, or just live vicariously through us then sit back and enjoy, Destino Portugal.

hello i am using google translator, please apologize for english. the best you do in doing it until the spring / summer and clear the land around you home. The fires in Portugal in the summer are very dangerous, clean the land around your house, at least 500 meters. Stay safe.Inform the Firefighters and GNR where they live

Well i never thought about it untill this video, its just a peace a furniture i knew all my life, its just part of the old house... but its this exact same cabinet you show at 06:03, same handles, same chrome foot, same color with those black tracings... how the hell, it has to be more than 50 years old at least, it is used to this day. In fact me, my wife and daughter have dinner with her every friday, we are going today around 8h30pm. Incredible, i have to show this video to my granny.

Hello mind if I ask about general location (Not specific) and property size and price. I've been looking seriously at farms in castelo Branco area.
@destino2portugal
@destino2portugal 3 роки тому
Its near to Penela in the Coimbra district, we looked in Castelo Branco but there were many reasons we chose this particular region. The property is currently 2 bedrooms but we hope to extend to 4 and the ruin will be 2 bedrooms too. There is 1000sqm of land too. We paid 32.500 which includes all fees and taxes, hope this helps. ❤💚💛

@@Sean-hf5mn Castelo Branco is a very good area. I love because in the summer is a little hot, but you have always water there, build a well and you are fine the water never runs out. In Lamego (where i grow up) more at north we struggle in the end of the summer because the water run out in dry summers. I remember my grandmother need to go to the well and collect the last water from the well because we need to put some water in our vegetable garden. Castelo Branco have a lot of water, major dams and lots of rivers there, (and i love all the rivers beaches you have in Castelo Branco area) and they (for now) have the most cheaper land in Portugal because right now some ppl from South Africa are start to buy properties in Castelo Branco area. PS: I know Alentejo have cheaper land in Portugal, but the most farms dont have water and are very dry in the summer. Not good to plant vegetables in Alentejo.

Hello Jason, we bought a place near Penela, its about 30 mins from Tomar. We chose this area as its beautiful, the water and air is very clean, property is affordable, the weather is less extreme and more temperate and its close to Coimbra City which is a magical place. The land is very green too, hope this helps in your decision making. Oh, there were hardly any mosquitoes and we were eaten alive in Castelo Branco 😅😂

@@destino2portugal thanks for your fast reply guys, it wouldn’t be enough for what we’re looking for but seeing other vids such as your “cheese house” vid it seems there really is some great value to be found. You mentioned in the cheese video about other builders potentially knocking it down and starting again. Is this a realistic opportunity or does the camera stipulate having to use stone like the original? Wife, kids and I are in Manchester at the moment, throughly fed up with it all and as she is brazilian we thought Portugal with cheap prices would be a good escape particularly as she speaks the language. We don’t mind living in a static for a few months/years but haven’t had chance to get over and look in person yet at particular places. Looks lovely where you are :) have subscribed so look forward to seeing the progress :)

@@kohtime the only stipulation from the Camara is to not exceed the current floor area, you could knock down a stone house and replace with poured concrete, as long as it looks traditional and you get relevant permission. I wont do that myself, we hope to put a small extension on our main house and that will be faced in stone. I dont blame you for getting out, the country is very toxic and the prospects are bleak. There are some absolute bargains to be had and the Portuguese will welcome you with open arms. Learn the language yourself, I'd recommend the drops app and duolingo.

First viewing care of Google. You really need to learn how to take a video, pan slowly, not keep moving the camera so fast. When you look at say a room without a camera, do you move your head really fast from one side to another.....no. So you must do the same with a camera.
