  Description

  "Hi, I’m Erwin, originally from the Netherlands. After exploring the world, I found my home in the stunning town of Aljezur in the southwest Algarve. While I love surfing—especially with the great waves here—what really drew me to this place is the natural beauty, open space, and healthy lifestyle it offers. I live on a 75-hectare piece of land, which has so much potential. I’m here full-time, sharing this incredible environment with my 10-year-old son, 8-year-old daughter and our 2-year old dog.

  Our focus is on rewilding—actively supporting natural succession to restore indigenous forests. This approach is vital for replenishing aquifers, enhancing biodiversity, and safeguarding against forest fires.
  
  Our key tasks include:
  
  -Controlling and removing invasive species saplings.
  -Felling, pruning, and chipping invasive tree species to provide space, light, and water for native ones.
  -Creating and maintaining walk paths.
  -Caring for the small food forest near the house.
  -Maintaining roads and land boundaries."

  Possibilité d’accueillir les digital nomads

  There is proper 4G reception on the land. The big(ger) space at the lake has a Starlink connection that can be used if needed for larger data stuff.

• 

  Espace pour garer des vans

  Smaller vans are more suitable because the dirtroad has bumpy parts. There is plenty of space 'up the hill' All cars make it up but it is not recommended to do it on a daily base or with a big campervan. At entering the land there is a flat spot for bigger vans.

  Possibilité d'accueillir les animaux

  Dog, cat, donkey or horse, all good.
