@blancobungalow: A year and a half ago, my husband and I bought a ranch on the coast of Portugal. Leaving behind the hustle culture of Los Angeles, we wanted to slow down, raise our son in nature, and start a new adventure. We originally were just looking for a house with some land a guest house we could rent out, but what we found was a whole lot more than we bargained for. A 2 acre seaside ranch that had been sitting on the market for years. We were super intimidated and scared, but we decided to go for it. The original owners lived with us for five months while they found a new home, and welcomed us into their family. Every day getting invited up for the most epic three hour lunches and endless bottles of wine. We now call them our Portuguese Mai and Pai. We didn’t just find our dream home, we found our Portugal family. We’ve since adopted ponies, dogs, cats, chickens, geese and ducks, and we’re figuring out this whole farming thing. We renovated all last Spring and opened for guests last summer. We continue to chip away at projects and renovations. Please come and stay with us at our seaside ranch on the coast of Portugal, The Blanco Bungalow. #portugal #expats #livingabroad #leavingtheusa @SurfSommelier

Surely the portugese government is to blame for the housing crisis, tourists have spent billions over the years going to Portugal where has all that revenue gone surely it could have been used to make the housing situation better

The amount of hate on a beautiful property is so insane to me! If the locals wanted it, than someone else could have purchased it. The property looks beautiful. Congrats!

Looks beautiful and congratulations on your dream, I hope people are kind to you and your family as they seem to think the problems are solely caused by you and not the government 🙈

My cousins moved to Portugal from Dallas. They shipped their 2 horses and 3 dogs to join them. They are loving it. And it looks divine!! Enjoy!

Ref the negative comments. We have a house in a WestvAlgargarve town. For 15 years the British, Irish, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian - even a few Germans have been welcomed. We are 41% of the the local,population living side by side and valued by Council and originals alike. The feeling is mutual. Or it was. Then the Americans arrived. I’ve worked and lived in the US for 50 years and elsewhere in the world. I can see what;s coming - also with Israelis nd S African. The blending in will go I’m very sad to say. So we’re selling up. It’s been a great 15 years - thank you Portugal.

Fizeram muito bem as obras e a paisagem são simplesmente resplendissantes...
Como alguns de vocês podem ser tão injustos com está família...
Eles só compraram uma quinta que os antigos donos não conseguiam vender e fizeram obras para acolher animais abandonados... Sejam bem vindos ao nosso país maravilhoso ... 🇵🇹🫶
