Description
Hi, we are Rick and Sanne. We have a fully off-grid project in the Odeceixe valley just north of Aljezur. There's a beautiful river running through the property and it's a very green and alive area close to the coast. For the last decade we had a full farm with many Animals and self sustaining gardens and crops. Unfortunately we had a wildfire a couple of summers ago and we are still recovering and recoiling from that. Now we're ready to bring the land and property back to it's full potential.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are in quite a rural area of Portugal so you can see local valley agricultural life. On the property we would love to show you our traditional rammed earth houses and teach about attainable off grid systems. The local village of Odeceixe is a quaint portuguese seaside town and is still culturally and traditionally very rich with various events. We are happy to show you around.
