I'm so happy to have found your channel! 😃You two are restoring this beautiful old manor house and its land.back to their former glory and fruitfulness. I wish you much good health, success and God's blessings!
The gravity-powered irrigation channels are brilliant! Water management is so tricky and crucial. I love your discovery of the brick oven and the hood -- I hope you can put them to good use!
Thank you, The irrigation worked very well throughout the heat of the summer, no energy used other than digging the water channels. We have plans for the oven and hood area although we are open for other suggestions. Thanks again for watching our channel and your kind comments.
I think you should get a small jersey milk cow, a milk goat and a pony to manage your grass problem. Each eats different things in different ways. You could divide two acres to allow one acre to rest while the other is grazed. You should save some logs for growing mushrooms.
I just think this is spectacular. The fact that you guys used wattle to make your raised beds is just absolutely wonderful. I how you are both happy there for the rest of your lives. What a place, what a story, what a couple. 10 of 10. ❤ Call your digger back and build a small pond!
Wow. What lovely, kind comments! Thank you so much. We are really keen to start a pond and hope the ground can improve ( harden) to get the digger out there😁.
I’m from the United States and visited Portugal 2 years ago. I wish I could live there. I absolutely love that country. I’m coming again in August and I hope I can retire there someday
Hi there friend in the USA.👋 I hope you have a great holiday in August. There are some lovely beaches all around the coast and with great seafood. Good luck with your plans 😃
you guys have done a tremenduous job with this property. It almost feels like i am watching a discovery channel. Amazing building and extremely beautiful property. GREAT JOB !!!
You have got yourselves a beautiful home and property, it has lots of style and character. Wishing you lots of happy times in restoring this wonderful place. Thanks for sharing, kind regards from Australia x
Love love love your property! From the willow garden structure to the water mine to the hidden paving stones under the overgrowth to the beautiful trees. What a wonderful place to live! Thank you for sharing your experience. Enjoyed watching this very much. ❤
Beautiful property ❤. I hope that you will be showing more of your home because you've done a magnificent job bringing life back into the inside as well as the outside. Thank u ☺️
It is the most environmental/ architecture-friendly, lovely and cost effective renovation I watched. The restored the original purpose of the building and garden. ❤
Beautiful property, congratulations on all your hard work and a fantastic job in renovating. I also didn t even notice the music as I was too absorbed in the video.
Magnificent! Your lounge looks splendid as it’s returned to its former glory. Very inspirational and encourages me to find a similar dormant beauty. Central and Northern Portugal are so beautiful (I cycled through last September) Just spare me the hills around Guarda!
Wow. Thank you so much for your lovely comments. How wonderful that you cycled around central and northern Portugal and we can imagine how hard those hills in Guarda were to climb! Well done!
You’ve just earned a new subscriber!!! My goodness you all have worked tirelessly and have made so much progress!!! What a beautiful find!!! Will share and let’s help you grow your channel !!’ Splendid work🥰
Would like to recommend you watching Escape to the Dream. An English Family who bought an abandoned Chateau in South France . Left for dead for over 40 yrs… honestly the daily work grind and the amount of skills they learned along the way is just incredible! It’s a great channel to help keep anyone who has the strength and desire to save these magnificent properties must follow! I’m in the USA and a longtime fascination of Old homes. Here mostly the Old Farmhouses to which mine was/is 275 yrs young! Talk about a project! Love your channel
Take off my hat to you for all the hard work. Your property is beautiful! Renovating is so hard, always one job opens another which is unexpected. Enjoy your new life, you are blessed. 🙏🏻
Just came across your vlog, this house would have been stunning in it's day and I think both of you are definitely the ones to get it back to what it was, lots of hard work but will be worth it, brilliant
Looks like it's going to be a beautiful house and property. You've done so much work it's very hard work taking on both house and that much land but you're doing it and what's most impressive is you are doing most of the work yourselves and by hand. One thought on up keep of your land, I don't know if you can do this but here in the U.S. IT'S becoming popular to Rent Goats to clear weeds and overgrown brush and bushes, a temporary fence is up to keep them in the area you want cleared and then your just move the temp fence to the next area till it's done plus you get some fertilizer out of it. They pretty much can and Will eat anything. This might also lighten your burden of keeping the place to be in check with more ease and free up more time for other projects or just to relax.
Thank you very much Steven for your lovely comments. Renting goats sounds like an excellent compromise. We have had someone come along with sheep for a day but it was a bit too far for them to come regularly as they walked here, but we'll keep looking for more similar options! Thank you again 😀
Your home will become more and more beautiful and fruitful now you have done the hard work. I know how hard it is, and you have done wonders so far. Anita, you have a lovely soft voice and Miko has a generous smile!
I am full of admiration for your work and how you have respected the soul and aesthetic of the house, as well as carefully bringing back to life the land, wells and water courses. Is that a view of an estuary or the Atlantic in the background - the view is incredible. The video is beautifully narrated. Good luck as you continue.
Thank you for such lovely, kind comments. We really appreciate it. The house is situated in a dell or small valley and at the far side of our land is a narrow road that may be visible in some of our videos. We aren't near the coast or an estuary, but that would be lovely 😁
It is lovely - well done. It looks quite a grand house for that area so I am not surprised it has three wells etc . It is good to see it brought back to its former glory. As a woman who does a lot of garden work etc it is very nice to see another woman doing it rather than just leaving it to the men. On upper branches I have a small =hand chain saw which comes with a rope/string. I can put that with a weight on a doca pole (from Amazon) which basically moves the saw to quite high branches on trees - the hardest bit is getting the hammer over the upper branch but once the saw is in place I can just pull the rope on each side and it gets very high branches down - never stand under neath of course.
Thank you so much Jane for the lovely comments. That sounds like a very useful tip too. You must be a dab hand at those skills with the rope/ weight and pruning 😃
Am so delighted that I stumbled across your channel! I have subscribed and am excited to watch your progress ! Wishing you much luck from Mississippi USA!
This is such a stunning house and property. I love that you are restoring it. I think I would be overwhelmed by it. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
