The idea of the place is to arrive at a self-sustaining household, including plants, animals and people, starting from an arable land (mostly almonds) of 2ha and a cinder-block house built in the end of Franco's era.
Since we have only just started this project, it is a wonderful opportunity for anyone interested in how to start a life in the countryside.
We are an Estonian couple permanently living here with chickens, turkeys, rabbits, goats, a donkey, bees, a cat and a teckel. Considering our isolated location on top of a mountainous countryside near Valencia, 10km from the nearest village, we are welcoming everyone who wants to take some time out from city-life and share ours.
We speak a mix of English, Spanish, French, Finnish, Russian and body languages.
NB!
*️️️️️Pets (dogs and cats) not allowed because we try mantain our ecosystem and, as general, they have some disturbing efect.
*️️️️️Our off-grid lifestyle means that we have public transport stop, good internet, shops, bars etc exactly 10 km walking (2 hours approx). So, it actually isn't a good starting point for looking a outside job (then you need a car).

La idea del lugar es llegar a una casa autosostenible con plantas, animales y personas, a partir del secano (en su mayoría almendras) de 2 hectáreas y una casa de bloques de cemento construida en el final de la era de Franco.
Ya que no hace mucho hemos involucrado en este proyecto, es una gran oportunidad para cualquier persona interesada en cómo iniciar una vida en el campo.
Somos una pareja de Estonia, vivimos todo el año aquí con pollos, pavos, conejos, cabras, un burro, abejas, un gato y un teckel. Como estamos un pelin aislados aquí por arriba de Valencia, 10 km del pueblo más cercano, nos gusta encontrar personas que quieren pasar un tiempo fuera de la ciudad y compartir nuestra forma de vivir.
Hablamos una mezcla rara del inglés, español, francés, finlandés, ruso y estonio (por supuesto:), más lenguaje corporal:).
NB!
*️️️️️ Animales domésticos (perros y gatos) no se admiten - para bienestar de todos.
*️️️️️ Lo que vivimos detrás de quinto pino conlleva que transporte público, internet normal, tiendas y bares están 10 km exactos andando (unas 2 horas). Por lo tanto no es buen partida para buscar el curro en alrededores (salvo que tengas coche).
