Description
I am based in Central Portugal, walking distance from the beautiful Cabril lake. I have a small permaculture project here, trying to be as self sufficient as possible, growing fruits, vegetables, olives, wine, raising chickens etc. This is a stunning part of Portugal and also one hour from the coast. I have a beautiful cozy separate appartment here which I am willing to 'rent' out for free in exchange for looking after my place when I am away, or some help when I am here. This would be perfect for anyone wanting to see Central Portugal or wants to spend a bit of time looking for the right property for themselves. The property is about 600 meters from the farm and is very private.

Accommodation
I have a beautiful separate appartment in the village (I am down in the valley about 600 meters away). It has a large sleeping/living room, separate kitchen and separate bathroom, there is a beautiful big garden with lots of fruit trees and olive trees and a lovely deck with a great view. Its all been built in 2021, so everything is new, cozy and fully functioning. There are no electrical costs as we have solar pannels.
What else ...
The main attraction here is the lake but we have a goat cheesery next door as well. There are lots of sights to see around, old cities such as Tomar and Coimbra and many river beaches, mountains etc.
