Description
We are a couple looking for help around our woodland and developing nature trails on 16 hectares in the beautiful SW Alentejo near Sao Luis, Portugal. We have refurbished our traditional Alentejo home and are now ready to work on making the land into a sustainable farm project. Located 4km from the nearest village with cafes, fresh food market, bank, post office and vibrant cultural activities and 12km from the beach. We are located in a beautiful and peaceful place.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We have lived and travelled in many places and are now settled in Portugal enjoying the culture and language. We can share our experiences and learn from you. The local village has a vibrant community with many nationalities living nearby offering cultural events and regular markets. We are Portuguese speakers and continue to have lessons to improve which we will share with you. If you like music we have a guitar and ukulele.
Help
We would like help in our woodland, liberate our cork oaks, pine, olive and medronha trees enabling us to pick the fruits from these trees. We have a stream running through the property which wish to clear and are also planning nature trails on the land. It is physically demanding but very rewarding! We would also like help repainting the outside of the houses.
