- Looking back at the first 18 months renovating our stone house, grounds and land in Central Portugal. There have been some challenges along the way but, with a smile and a very limited budget, have done lots of DIY work ourselves along with a little help from our friends.

@@TeaAndTinto its a gem on the country side of Portugal indeed.
Major respect for those who restore properties........what a gem.......thank you & wishing you all the best in your new marvelous property.
Thank you very much. We are enjoying it so far.
Not easy 😊
Too true 😃
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!
Wow! Thank you very much for the lovely comments and God bless you too 😊
The more "modern" houses I see, the deeper my appreciation for these old renovations go. Absolutely inlove with the progress and your vision
Thank you for your lovely comments Antoinette ☺️
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.
It's a good idea! Perhaps in the coming years.😃 Thank you.
Thanks for the update… awesome video guys ..
Thank you 😊
God bless you, incredible and beautiful work, congrats❤
Thank you so much and God bless you ❤️
Fabulous update.. certainly lots of work been completed by you two ..
So glad you liked it 😁
Congratulations! Great work!❤ I think the background music is perfect, not annoying. All good. 👍
Thank you! and, thank you for your feedback, we could turn the music down a bit for the future videos.
I love the little streams and terrain. Lovely natural and interesting grounds.... your hard work is rewarding you ..
Thank you for your lovely comments 😊

Youve done a wonderful job restoring this beautiful land to its productive state! Such hard workers!
Wow. Thank you so much for your lovely comments ☺️
The garden is beautiful. You turned the walls of the lounge into something admirable. It must be so rewarding to see the place come alive.❤️🙏
It really is! We are loving it. Thank you .
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 😃
Incredible property. A true labor of love.
Thank you for your lovely comments 😃
Great start. You're doing things correctly. Enjoy your adventure.😊
Thank you!! 😊
It is the most environmental/ architecture-friendly, lovely and cost effective renovation I watched. The restored the original purpose of the building and garden. ❤
Thank you very much for your lovely comments. It's really appreciated 😊
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😁.
Amazing job you both did!!!!
Thank you for the lovely comment 😃
So glad to have found your channel. Beautiful house and land. Looking forward to following your journey. 😊

I can’t wait to see this magnificent property finished.
It is slowly getting better.
Awesome, thank you
Thank you for watching 😁
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. ❤
Wow! Thank you so much for your lovely comments ❤️
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
Thank you very much for your lovely comments 😊
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 😀
Such a stunning property! How wonderful that you are returning it to its former glory.
Thank you very much 😊
So beautiful. I love your copper beach a most glorious tree.
Thank you. We think so too 😁
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. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much Diana and you are so right about one job opening up another. 😀
@@TeaAndTinto 6 years in and we are still renovating, so i know first hand 🤣🤣
Good luck to you too 😀
@@TeaAndTinto Thank you ,❤️
Great video of your progress, well done folks, thank you for posting.
Thank you very much and thanks for watching 😃
Beautiful home and grounds ❤
We agree! Thank you.
I just happened on your video, what a beautiful place you have.
❤❤
Thank you very much for watching 🙂
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!
Well done guys, great job up until now.
Thank you so much 😁
Delightful! Thanks for sharing. Those plums looked delicious too. Cheers.
Thank you for watching 😀
It is beautiful, you have done very well for yourselves. ❤
Thank you very much
Congratulations! Magnificent effort and rewarding results ❤😊🇦🇺
Thank you so much friend 😊
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!
Thank you very much for your lovely comments. Best wishes to you too 😀
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!
Thank you for such sweet and motivational comments Wendy 😊
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 😁
@@TeaAndTinto Thank you. I realise now that you are in central Portugal, so cannot be near the ocean. It was a trick of the light and skyscape 😍
Just found your site. Loved the video. I've scribed and looking forward to keeping up with your renovations. Hello from Oklahoma

What a lovely comment. Thank you Liz 😁
Loved this!
Thank you very much. Muito obrigado.
It was a lot of work! You have a lovely estate now!
Thank you, we will keep up on improving it.
I have been through a similar process but on a smaller scale. I was still reasonably young and fit, but I would not recommend such a venture to anyone who is not up to speed on know-how, health and strength, patience, time, and, most importantly, funds.
Hi there friend 👋. It's certainly more than a lick of paint that's needed! Well done for your efforts too. You must be proud.
Greetings from Saint Albans, WV USA 🇺🇸 😊
A great hello from a sunny Portugal.
Good video content, plenty to tackle for you there, best of luck with your renovation plans.
Thank you so much 😁

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.
Thank you very much for your kindness and feedback.
Enorme diferença 😊está a ficar lindo 😊
Muito obrigada 😁
I just found you on RUclips & Your property is looking lovely. So much work. I just want to say your music choices are great. I’d keep doing what you have been doing. I’ve watched a few RUclipsr videos where the music is obnoxious & loud. Yours is so gentle sounding and perfect.
Many thanks for your feedback and kindness.
It’s so lovely!
Thank you very much 😊
É um sítio lindo! Boa compra, boa reforma e sejam felizes
Muito obrigada Catarina!

Wow! Thank you so much for the lovely comments and sharing. Glad you liked it ☺️
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
Thank you. Will do. Wow your farmhouse must have a lot of history! And a lot of work maintaining it 😃
CONGRATULATIONS - HARD WORK IS ALWAYS WORTH IT
Thank you very much Naomi 😃
The water blasted tiles look great
Thank you 😊
Kia Ora & Good Evening from Caribbean Drive, Unsworth Heights, North Shore, Auckland, New Zealand ...Another Great Video ...
Kia ora to you too friend in Auckland! Thank you very much 😃
Well done great job wish you well and success 😊
Thank you for your lovely comments 🙏
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 😃
The garden bed looks beautiful. Great work you guys. Central Victoria Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you so much friend in Australia 😁
Beautiful property

What you have done in terms of renovating the house and the land surrounding the property, I consider it a challenge for you, and the result is very beautiful. I wish you a nice time and a happy life for you. Greetings / Mubarak from the State of Kuwait🇰🇼

What a wonderful house, looks like a castle! You must feel like a king and Queen there. You're only missing the personnel to do things for you.. but how wonderful this is! Good luck to you both.
Thank you very much 😀
Hi.Just found your Channel.Watched all your videos.From Malaysia.😊😊
Awesome! Thank you! and Welcome.
Beautiful home!
Thank you Peter 🙏
How old are those rock fences.
I’m assuming the original owners were a wealthy family, my mind imagining 1700’s
I imagine some of the old retaining walls on the land terraces and the water mine are a lot older than the house and like you I think a couple of hundred years old. I originally thought the house was much older too so we were surprised to find the date stone read 1910.
Just gorgeous. I am very impressed with your husband's much desired beetroot crop.😊
Thank you Jean 😄
Beautiful stone mansion, but ciment !
Thank you. Some bits maybe.
Bonne vidéo ! Beaucoup d'efforts ! À la fin vous étêtez des saules et brûlez les jeunes tiges : c'est de l osier, qui sert à fabriquer des paniers
Thank you very much friend 😃
Great video - thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
