Anyone looking to join a tiny house village, full of homeschooling families, in Portugal? 🌺

We’re looking for creative cats and friendly families who would like to join our little tiny house eco-village and artistic campsite in the south of Alentejo, Portugal.

In May 2026 we will open the doors to the little village of our dreams, on a fantastic property with hectares of forest bordering an always-flowing river(!), slightly hilly with spectacular views over Alentejo mountains, right on the border of Alentejo and the Algarve. It’s honestly one of the most beautiful pieces of land we’ve seen - and we’ve been looking for a long time. 🥹

What’s the village we’re setting out to create here?

Think of a wholesome festival meets artistic campsite meets permaculture farm meets eco-village sort of space. Where we spend our days in the sun, surrounded by nature, great friends and family, animals, good food and clean water. Where our kids can grow up together in nature, have their own Homeschooling Hub and get to spend their days outdoor busy with lots of extracurricular activities, adventure and play. And where we, the adults, get to create, learn lots, work, grow foods, take care of the forest, of the animals, ourselves and each other and build and run one of the most fantastic and unique artistic eco-campsites Portugal has seen. 🌈

Through our years working on this project we learned a lot about what it takes to start a little village like ours. We spend a lot of time thinking, and consulting with professionals, to find the best way to do what we want to do in Portugal. As the legal aspects of our project genuinely excite us (my husband in particular) and for the safety of ourselves, our project, and the people who join us, we set out - together with our great lawyers - to find the most solid pathway to do so. One that is fully in line with Portuguese law, without cutting any corners. And we did.

The place we found for our project is perfect. It is stunning and has all the permissions and infrastructures present; important things like clean drinking water from private wells, electricity, solar, septic systems, sanitary facilities, a little restaurant/bar, workshop spaces and lots more. We would only have to work on making it even more beautiful, and preparing (food)gardens, playgrounds, wellness areas, the little farm and some more facilities. 🌴

We will open our doors here on May 4th, 2026. And we’re still open for a few people/families to join us here.

We offer plots on which you can legally place a tiny home or another unique habitable space. It can be all sorts of things; a schoolbus, or a boat, or train wagon, gosh, a small airplane(!?) or a tiny house. As long as it’s without foundation, it’s eco-friendly, and it’s beautiful. This last one is important; we want this little village to become a really beautiful and inspiring place.

You can either be here yourselves, for as long as you'd like, or you can rent it out: either the plot itself to visitors with their own wheels, or you can rent out the structure that you place on it, for short- or long term rental.

Besides being able to rent out your plot or tiny house, villagers will also have access to paid roles and commercial opportunities within the project. Jobs like managing the campsite or the campus, positions in the little forest school, running the café/restaurant, the shop, building, gardening, babysitting, hosting workshops or offering activities. If you have something you’d love to do and bring into the village, we’d love to hear!

Let me know if this resonates with you, by sending a personal message, and I’ll gladly send you more info, and we can start the conversation to see if we’re a match. ✨

Much love! ❤️
