Moving to Ireland | Buying Land | FULL TOUR

You neeeeeed to hire a herd of goats, they’ll clear all your land within about four weeks!! Sooooo true, get hiring 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐😁. Good luck with your venture

As a former farmer, the first thing I'd buy, a second hand, 50 hp tractor, with a ROPS (basically a roll bar, you need that for such 'hilly' land), PTO (power take off), the second thing would be a flail/slasher, to run off the PTO and I'd have at your overgrown fields. In two weeks, you'd have broken the back of all that bracken fern, gorse and any other undesirables plants. If you only needed to tidy up the place, I'd pay a local contractor or one of your farming neighbours to do this work but it's going to be a constant battle with nature, over the next few years, to get on top of your weed problem, assuming, you don't want to use chemicals. Also, a tractor, will go where most vehicles won't, with a trailer or carry-all, you'll be able to drag whatever equipment, materials or supplies up your hilly land. It doesn't have to be expensive, a few thousand euros will get you one and tractors last for decades, generations, as long as it starts, you should be able to keep it going. Also the EU used to pay you, to make small wildlife habitats, things like hedges, if they still do it, it might something to look into? A small holding is a lot of hard work, the more machinery to help get the work done, the better. I know its not very romantic but farming, on any level, is just a lot of hard graft. Good luck, you're going to need it, it's going to be a steep learning curve but you can do it. Also, I'd rethink a cow, you don't have that much land and what will you do, with 20+ liters of milk per day, you can only make and store, so much butter, cheese or yoghurt. Indeed, as a family of three, you'd be hard pressed to go through 20 liters a week, nevermind, per day. A decent dairy goat Doe will give you at least 4+ litres a day, that's much more manageable amount of milk. Goats, are more personable and easier to manage, they also milk for two years, after they kid. Again, good luck to your wee family and I hope you enjoy, your move to my homeland. Slan.

We bought 15 acres in NE Scotland 10 years ago, having been outbid numerous times on other plots. We did the same as you and placed an offer without viewing the place and it was accepted. One offgrid house build, many sheds and a whole bunch of livestock later and it is the best thing we have ever done. Looking forward to seeing your journey.

Make an orchard, fruit trees, get some sheep,get hens

Great tour guys. Ever considered hiring a herd of goats?? May save you a lot of time & effort clearing those fields. Much less destructive and they don't blast around the seeds again from the strimmer etc.

SUGGESTION: Please, let your daughter get proper horse training, by a certified trainer, before getting a pony. Often time children are uncomfortable at the size of the horse and form fear instead of confort. A horse is an animal that can be unpredictable and intimidating. With proper training, she will learn how to ride the horse, take care of the horse… feeding, brushing, bathing, scoop the poop and etc. Proper teachings/training is essential.😊

If you have problems with ticks then get yourself some guinea fowl. Not only do they eat the ticks they also eat the eggs of the ticks.

Welcome to Ireland. I love it and l sense you may also. We are a mystical people, great fun, serious survivors. Dont handshake a deal unless you are serious., as it's the contract. The seasons are comforting. Embrace the rain...as it blooms your fields. Then the rainbows emerge. Take time to embrace them. Welcome. Ireland

What a lovely couple. I wish them the best. We will keep watching.

You should consider getting a contractor with a tractor mounted hedge cutter to cut the brambles back in some of those fields. It would open up the place for you and make life much easier. The land doesn't look too bad. It's just been neglected for years. Best of luck with it.

What a handsome couple! Good luck with all your future endeavors ahead. We need more of you in Ireland, you will be a real asset to the community.

Remember in Ireland, owning a horse isn’t posh or upper class, but owning a saddle is!

get goats!! the milk is far superior and they ll do a great job of clearing, plus they are adorable companions. Great place you ve got there

Lots of hard work ahead. Listen to local knowledge & feed from it. Good Luck 🍀

It’s quite a adventure but I love how you are passionate about it, I can see how quickly your place is going to be transformed and can wait for the next video 😊

Sunlight in Ireland is quite high. It is one of the reasons why everything grows here and why it is so green!!

I am so glad I found y’all. I live in the USA and have had obsession with Ireland since I was 5. Seeing or more so moving to Ireland before I die is the only thing on my bucket list. But every one tells me it is so hard to move there coming from the US. So for now I’ll live through you. Thank you for sharing.. ❤

Hiya guys good luck with the project first thing you need to buy is a small 4 wheel drive compact tractor with loader with a flail mower it will go anywhere

Mind yourselves with the ticks. They can be dangerous. Also treasure the blackthorn and the whitethorn They were sacred trees in Celtic mythology

Check out Bealtaine cottage (west coast of Ireland). What that woman has achieved on three acres of sloping scrub land is amazing.
