Owners opinion on sustainable features: This an off-grid property; 100% self-sufficient in terms of electricty, heating and hot water (all renewable sources).

Fuels for biomass boilers are not only 100% renewable but also locally sourced (almond shells, olive stones) reducing freight pollution, LPG and diesel oil (generator) are back-up power sources. The well could be brought back into use, but mains water quality is very good and we are very close to the source (local mountains).
