    Description

    We are a couple on a nice and quit place near São Teotónio. We have a rustic land with a A-frame house and a beautiful lake, hot showers and a compost toilet. We need some help to create our small paradise. Building a social area and a outdoor kitchen.

    We are complete off grid but have electricity with solar and water.

    Because we have free running chickens are pets not allowed…. Sorry
