Description
We are a couple from Holland and France, we are spiritual, and are in the process of building a base for seasonal homes, retreats and conscious vacation stays. Our location is based on a quartz mountain and we are surrounded by granite stones. We have 12 springs and the place is very peaceful. It is mainly us running the property and then we have a Portuguese builder and permaculturist working with us.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are Dutch and French and are happy to share some of our meditation practices with someone who will join us. My husband spent 3 years in silence so meditation is a big part of our lives. For the rest there are nice community events in the weekends like the local markets in Coja and Sandomil where you are welcome to join us when we go. We also want to start hosting community events at our place, if you have gift you would like to share you are welcome to.

Help
We’re looking for someone practical, hands-on, and a bit proactive to support us with a variety of basic handyman tasks around our home and land. Tasks include things like fixing doorknobs, painting, building vegetable garden boxes, maintaining the pool, organizing firewood, tidying up parts of the land and garage, and occasionally helping coordinate with our builder, permaculture designer, or calling a plumber when needed.
In addition, we’d love help with watering the garden, weeding, and caring for the planted areas. Ideally, you enjoy taking initiative and spotting small projects that need attention—as I’m not a natural handyman myself, so it’s a real gift when things are simply taken care of without needing direction each time.
If you like variety, being outdoors, and bringing a bit of order and function to a beautiful space, this could be a great fit.

Can host families
Can host digital nomads
We are flexible in terms of hours during the day however we want agreements on a schedule that works for you in advance. For example 5 days a week 4-5 hours a day.
Can possibly accept pets
We are open to discuss what type of breed or pet you have and see if it can work out. Only a very limited amount of breeds are suitable for example a golden retriever could be discussed. Or a cat. Our house is not well insulated (sound wise) so therefore barking dogs will be a problem. But our house is well insulated in terms of heat / cold.
