    ***We are looking for motivated Workawayer to support us currently with clearing and removing bushes. You should be confident working with brushcutters and electric hedge trimmers ***


    We are part of an association that bought 36 hectares in the Serra Monchique.
    Within the 36ha, groups have turned to individual areas in order to shape them individually according to their needs and to live together in good neighbourhood.
    We David, Gunda with our Children Matilda (7) and Milan(2) are creating infrastructure and living space. We started at 0 in the middle of nature 2019. Now we have a Yurt for living space, a big outdoor kitchen, a small clay house and some caravans as sleeping rooms. .
    The property is located in a beautiful and remote area. It is about 5 km to the country road. There is a river and a small lake on the property.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The most beautiful experience for me at this place is the nature near simply living which inspires me daily new and brings me closer to myself.

    If this is too boring for you, you can expand your skills in permacultur gardening, construction, building in general, catching springs, unschooling, or letting off steam with heavy machines...

    In addition, other groups and families live on the 36 hectares.
