We are building a long-term base in the countryside of Central Portugal, where we are creating a slower, more intentional way of living connected to nature. Our quinta is an evolving home project with ongoing improvements, where we hope to gradually create a welcoming space for family, friends, and people from all over the world to gather, share experiences, and be part of the journey for a while.
Working hours: 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM (5 hours, including 1-hour lunch break)
Activities vary depending on the season and ongoing projects, and may include:
* Bathroom finishing and small construction tasks (guided by Kaegh)
* Garden creation and vegetable planting
* Compost and chicken area organization
* Painting and exterior improvements
* General land maintenance and clearing areas
* Firewood preparation
* Kitchen extension support
We work with flexible, real life priorities depending on what the land needs each week.
We are looking for independent, responsible, and motivated people who enjoy hands-on work and countryside living.
We ask that you:
* Respect the house, animals, and shared spaces
* Be proactive and willing to take initiative
* Be comfortable working outdoors
* Follow guidance for construction tasks (from Kaegh)
* Communicate openly and respectfully
* Understand this is a real home and ongoing project, not a tourism experience
