  Description

  Since about 18 years we own a property in the southwest of the Algarve. Since then, many projects have developed around 2 small houses, a groundwater borehole, solar energy, a composting toilet and a way of life that is as self-sufficient and environmentally conscious as possible in a well-kept but mostly natural garden on 2 hectares. In our free time we enjoy the nearby beaches, which are easily accessible by car or bike. There are also famous surfing beaches with a wide range of sports activities, which we enjoy. In the near future, we plan to develop our property and increase its possibilities. For this purpose, projects such as a larger, future-oriented solar system, an outdoor shower, a wooden shed, an irrigation system for our property, as well as a fence construction project are planned.
  
  
  Seit ungefähr 18 Jahren besitzen wir ein Grundstück im Südwesten der Algarve. Seit dem entstanden viele Projekte, rund um 2 kleine Häuser, eine Grundwasserbohrung, Solarstrom, ein Kompostklo und eine möglichst autarke und umweltbewusste Lebensweise in einem gepflegten aber weitestgehend naturbelassenen Garten auf 2 Hektar Größe. In der freien Zeit zieht es uns an die nahegelegenden Strände, die sowohl mit dem Auto als auch dem Fahrrad gut zu erreichen sind. Zu diesen gehören zudem bekannte Surf-Strände mit weitreichenden Möglichkeiten für sportliche Betätigung, die auch von uns selbst gerne genutzt werden. In der kommenden Zeit soll sich unser Grundstück weiterentwickeln und an Möglichkeiten wachsen. Hierzu sind Projekte wie eine größere, zukunftsorientiertere Solaranlage, eine Außendusche, ein Holzschuppen, eine Bewässerungsanlage für unser Grundstück, sowie ein Zaunbau-Projekt geplant.
