Really interesting! Can you provide ballpark as to prices. I know 3-4 families from NYC area that moved to Portugal recently. If you wish to buy a vineyard here, in a choice location, you'll be priced out at like $50k per acre. If you can even find a plot of tillable land available that covers 50+ acres. Alternately, Amazon is subletting 10M of warehouse space in NJ, so you could grow grapes indoors?
CERN / Swiss Alps / French Burgundy region also looks like it has potential for those seeking the "Château de Guédelon" medieval lifestyle ;)
The cheapest regions in France are probably in the center, in Seine et Loire I saw many offers for very cheap houses.
Be careful about buying medieval ruins: they can be cheap but they come with a VERY heavy regulatory framework. You have almost no freedom in how you will rebuild something that is classified as a historical monument and the cost of work and maintenance will be several times the buying cost there.
It took about 2 years to be an integral part of the community in spain; Portugal took a few months and we don’t speak Portuguese yet because everyone understands English and with Spanish Portuguese is not hard to understand. But all communications are in English really.
No children (by choice) so cannot say anything about that.

Do you know if this draft bill ended up passing? I wasn't able to find much about it's current status.
What resources would you recommend for people looking to move to the Porto region.
And what sort of budget should one have?
