Welcome to Fonte De Ferro - translated to Source of Iron or Fountain of Iron; given it's name from the naturally iron rich spring on the property. An intimate & unique off-grid homestead in Central Portugal. ​Born in the UK & France, Scott & Driss have been together for over 20 years. Having lived & worked a sterotypical 'City life' they have, over recent years been on their own transformational journey. Discovering not only the world around them, but themselves as individuals & as a couple. Having worked in numerous corporate roles & owning & operating their own businesses, Scott & Driss after time, felt that they needed a more fullfilling way to live their life. As immersive travellers & after spending time exploring the globe, they decided to embark on a new life journey which was hands-on, self sustaining & soul providing. This is something which resonated with them after experiencing new cultures, ways of life & educating themselves on alternative ways of living. This transformational journey led them to an off-grid homestead lifestyle where working with nature & promoting well-being were at it's core. Over recent years, Scott & Driss have expanded their skill sets by building Fonte De Ferro from the ground up. Creating an off-grid homestead from an abandoned terraced plot of land into a vibrant, sustainable & stylish way to live off-grid. ​Scott & Driss welcome you to join them at their unique off-grid home & for you to relax, reconnect & soothe your soul.
