    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 .
    and... if anyone is a Skateboarder . Im 55 years old and still skating vert ,,,,, would love to go skating with you in Valencia !
