  Descrição

  We are Esme and Will originally from the UK and our finca in Aragon is an old beautiful old farmhouse sitting on top of a hill with wonderful views across the campo near the town of Caspe. We discovered the house in summer of 2014 and fell in love with its elegance, surroundings and potential. The house is interesting historically as it was used by the republican airforce and resistance as headquarters during the Spanish Civil War in the fight against fascism. The house has been derelict for over 40 years and has 4 hectares of woods and farmland around it plus 200 mature olive trees. We are completely off the grid, so our first tasks have been to install a solar powered electricity system, re-connect the house to the local water system and install an eco-friendly sewerage system. We have nearly completed the process of renovating the house and barn. We have planted terraces, a vegetable garden, fruit trees, grape vines and an almond grove. We would love some help with all aspects of the house, garden, fields and woodland; but most especially plumbing, plastering and some general building tasks. In November/December we do our olive harvest and we alway welcome volunteers to join in with the communal harvesting at this time of year.
