In which country did you settle? 100m2 is already quite a building surface. Is it a maximum per land plot or per building btw?



Portugal, in a very depopulated rural area. Per building. There are some restrictions around use (can’t be a permanent residence without a permit). So far we’ve only put up a single 45m2 cabin, but have plans for a few bits and bobs, spread over ~10ha. Building out our own power and water grids, vermiculture sewage treatment where needed. Their attitude is “it’s your land, you do what you want”.


Time to start learning Portuguese then.. Here in France anything above 5m2 needs to be declared (plus taxed), and anything above 20m2 needs a permit.
