Imagine selling everything you own to buy an old ruin with 24 acres of land in rural Portugal...

Well, that's what I did!

My journey to off-grid living

The biggest fear I have in life is not doing the thing I dream of. That’s why I sold my house in the UK, all of it’s contents, my car and many of my possesions to buy this huge plot of land an big stone ruin in rural Portugal.

From finding the land, to buying it AND going through the planning applications has been one hell of an experience. I literally knew nothing before I started on this journey.

Everything changed for me in 2020, I realised what was most important in life. Freedom and living a life that was true me. Having been inspired by some friends who had moved to the same area, I took the plunge and bought this place next to the Mondego River.

What could be more important than having your own beautiful home, good quality water and air plus a huge place to grow food?
