Luke and Sarah's Off-Grid Life

Welcome to Luke & Sarah's Off-Grid Life!

We're building our dream stone house and creating a self-sufficient off-grid homestead in Portugal.

Follow our weekly journey as we transform raw land into a thriving off-grid home. From stone masonry, DIY construction, solar power, gardening, and homesteading to sustainable living and rural Portugal life, we share the challenges, lessons, and victories along the way.

Whether you're interested in off-grid living, building a house in Portugal, homesteading, self-sufficient living, or creating your own dream home, you'll find inspiration, practical projects, and real-life experiences here.

New videos every week. Subscribe and join our off-grid adventure in Portugal!

Hi! We know many of you usually settle in on Friday evenings to catch up with us, but we couldn’t wait to share our latest video with you, so we posted on Wednesday instead

This week’s video is a bit more personal—we share the honest truths, the lessons, and the things we wish we’d known before we started this off-grid journey. Whether you’re dreaming of your own escape or just curious about the reality behind the scenes, we think you’ll really enjoy this one.

So, if you’re looking for your Friday "fix" a little bit earlier, head over and join the conversation now! We’d love to hear your thoughts on these reflections.

Watch the new video here! https://youtu.be/zdVARM69eGM

Hope you're all having a wonderful week! Luke & Sarah

We never thought getting good drinking water would become such an important part of our off-grid life… 💧

There was a time when we had to leave home and collect our drinking water. It took time, it was inconvenient, and the biggest problem was that we didn't really know what was in the water we were drinking.

Since installing our Waterdrop system, things have changed completely.

Now we can take the water from our own well, filter it right here at home, and have great-tasting drinking water whenever we need it. ❤️

And now… we're taking it a step further.

We're upgrading to the Waterdrop X12 Alkaline Mineral RO System, with 11-stage filtration, UV technology and remineralisation — and we're really excited to put it through its paces.

For us, it's not just about having another appliance in the kitchen. It's about making off-grid life a little easier and knowing more about the water we're putting into our bodies every day.

Have you ever tested the water you drink? 👀

We covered the holes in our yurt with plastic

Well, we had to try something! 😂

It might not be the best solution, but it’s definitely better than nothing…

Unless it gets blown away with the first storm.

Then, technically, this whole exercise will have been the equivalent of doing absolutely nothing. 😂

But for now… **better than nothing!**

“This week’s video is a little different from our usual ones. It’s more of a quiet day on the land while Luke is trekking the Portuguese coast. https://youtu.be/FzMiE0c2EI0
I’m curious… do you enjoy these slower episodes too?”

Molly has been trying a food topper from Barkyn this week.
It’s just something you mix into their normal food — but she loves it.
The unexpected bonus?
After a few days her coat felt incredibly soft… which we later learned is one of the benefits of the omega-3 and collagen.
Molly approves 🐾 #barkyn #shinycoat ‪@Barkyn‬
