Your Dream Land is Within Reach!

6 Hectares of Land

Two fields of pasture, divided by a town dirt road, which leads to private gravel driveway and straw bale home. About half of the land is wooded.

Your only neighbours are fields away - family farmers raising a small herd of pastured cows for milk. Springs to tap into are on their land, and a seasonal stream borders one end of the property.  A well was dug, but it failed - a new one is necessary for well water.

This land has been free of chemical agriculture since 2009. We planted multiple heirloom fruit trees, hedges, olive trees, several herb gardens, and spiral raised beds, using the principles of permaculture and synergistic agriculture. The land has not been farmed since 2017.

A Straw Bale Home, Sold As Is

Begun in 2011, with the help of over 70 volunteers and hired experts, we built this straw bale, wooden framed, and earth plastered home. Roof has natural insulation and sealed Italian tiles, with a small terrace - was recently fixed Fall 2022.

Home needs final lime plaster, wiring and solar panels for off grid independence, plumbing, septic/grey water system, and flooring. It is sold as is.

All approved plans will be shared with buyer.

     148.000 euros for entire property or 11.000 euros for a buildable hectare.
