    Description

    Hey, i am Bub, have been travelling my whole life and now found the perfect place in Monchique. It is a full hectare, has part forest with massive cork oak trees, part fruit trees and a mina (mountain spring), the best part is this combination of having all this and being literally 1 minute from town

    We already have a lustrous veg garden, we started culturing 4 different mushrooms, the bigger vision now is permaculture design, not only planting new trees but making sure they will not need us to become beautiful adults
    I have setup a beautiful space for you with everything you need
