Description
OLA!
We are Yan and Noa, living our dream life in portugal since 2022 with our beautiful dogs.
Located 14 km of Monchique municipality (surrounded with beautiful mountain range) of southern Portugal,Algarve. Here we enjoy mediterranean climate with warm to hot summers and mild, wet winters.
Our off grid mountain farm is 6.5-hectare surrounded with medronho trees, oaks, pine and eucalyptus. We have our own spring water, a stream running along the bottom and a solar system.
At the moment, we are finishing a natural combined with wood house project.
We have our own big vegetable garden that needs maintenance, fruit trees that needs some love, free range chickens to take care of and 2 cats that needs to be fed.
When we arrived at this land, it had not been touched for decades. because of this, we are constantly developing our little peace of heaven so there is always something to do.
We will be happy to get help mainly with garden and construction work.
We our happy to share our knowledge and know there is always something to learn from the other.
