Description
Hi,
13 Years ago I bought a place in " el Campo " ( the country side ) , near Villar Del Arzobispo , Valencia Spain.
I originally wanted to use it as a base for my motorcycle race business , but ( long story short ) as its off grid , I used the experience to start a new business in off grid solar energy .
I was surprised to find how many people in the UK wanted off grid solar , so my beloved off grid project has been playing second fiddle.
Its big , rural and near a lovely village with a lot of great people, mainly Spanish.
Theres 7000m2 of land , and old tennis court , swimming pool ( empty ) Olives , fig trees ,and old almonds .
It need some TLC while Im here, and maybe when I leave.
This could be discussed.
If you could help with any land maintenance or electrical work Id be very happy to be a very generous host.
I need to fix the alarm , the CCTV , which I can but would rather work on the business to allow more time here and bring it back to life Post COVID .
My business is growing rapidly, and the knowledge I have would be gladly passed on so anyone wanting to do the same for them selves.
Im getting better at speaking Spanish but as I have Spanish speaking staff also lazy
( Lo Siento ) So any Spanish speaking support would be welcomed.
The dream is to make this place a great example of how off grid living can work.
We have really good Cell phone WiFi , Local Wifi
We just need a little help right now .
