Couple Rescues Old Abandoned Homestead in Spain | 5 Year Timelapse

Video Description

From a destroyed olive grove, to our first ever olive harvest... (And look out for a surprise announcement when we're chatting in the car at 38:31!) This 5 year homestead timelapse takes you through our journey to rescue this old abandoned off grid homestead in the mountains in Spain. After buying land in Spain in 2020, we discovered a horrifying truth about our 200 olive trees; they'd been chopped to the base and sold for firewood! This is our story of how we regenerated old abandoned olive trees, that had been left to grow wild, and slowly brought them back into fruition, bringing us our first ever olive harvest in 2025. We hope you enjoy watching this one as much as we enjoyed editing it. 00:00 A story 5 years in the making...

In 2015 we moved from the UK to Barcelona, and after 8 years enjoying the busy city and sunny beaches we moved to the mountains to start a new adventure. We're renovating an old town house, building an off grid cabin, restoring an old stone house and farming 12.5 acres of land with regenerative agriculture and permaculture practices in Catalunya, Spain. If you're interested in learning how to move to Spain as a British Expat, about buying property in rural Spain, or DIY renovation of an old country house, then consider subscribing to our channel to follow our journey. We share the good, the bad and the ugly, the successes and the mistakes, all in the hope that we can show you that if we can do it with no experience (but a lot of enthusiasm to give it a go) then so can you.
