Hi! My partner and I are currently selling a piece of
land in Wales, not far from Swansea so really accessible by the M4. It's a beautiful place close to the Brecon Beacons and has so many advantages for a large
permaculture project (we originally intended to use it for this purpose, but it's a bit too far from home for us). I recently found out from a
local that an off grid community lived on the land a while back. It has year round spring
water on the property, which we've tested in a lab and confirmed that it is drinkable. It also sits in it's own little microclimate with higher temperatures than the surrounding areas and huge amounts of sunlight. It's perfect for a
solar setup, or could even have a hydroelectric setup due to the flow of water. It has some outbuildings, several of which could be converted into great living accommodation and is super private.

trees throughout the property
- Year-round flowing, drinkable spring water accessed from multiple points on the land, usable as livestock water supply, potential for hydroelectric power

- Sitting in it's own microclimate with higher temperatures and intense sun, perfect for
solar power
