It is rare for us to offer such large plots of land. With around 5 hectares (=50.000 m²), this finca is already so large for La Palma that you can feel like a great landowner. In the past years it was mainly used for apple growing, the annual harvest is about 10 tons - an order of magnitude that can be expected to bring in about 15.000 € per year. In addition, delicacies can be harvested on the property: Pears, apricots, grapefruits, cherries, nisperos, walnuts, kiwis, hazelnuts, blueberries, raspberries, gooseberries, plums, lemons, persimmons, quinces and figs. Since only a small part of the land is used for agriculture and has an organic farming certificate, it is a very realistic prospect to be able to earn a living on one's own property in addition to self-sufficiency. The finca is located in a gently hilly area, which with its green pastures and wooded areas is indeed similarn to Hessen in Germany, except that there is never frost here and year-round, agricultural use is ideal. It has been developed with three habitable, small houses grouped in the western centre of the plot.

House 1 (52.2 m² floor area = gross floor area) has been freshly renovated and houses a cosy bedroom on the ground floor with a mezzanine staircase to the daylight bathroom with shower and its own external door onto the terrace. On the upper floor, a very cosy living-dining kitchen with sea view has been installed.

House 2 (67.7 m² floor space) is also two-storey and consists of a bedroom on the ground floor and a living-bedroom on the upper floor. It is located directly next to:

House 3, (46.66 m² floor space), which is currently only used as a workshop and storage room, but could be converted into living space.

House 4 (26.57 m² floor space) is currently the central living-dining kitchen with large bath tube for house 2. Between house 2 and 4 are two caves, one used for food storage, the other as a sauna.

A water cistern could be reused as a water tank, should there be a need for planting, which needs artificial irrigation at least in summer.

The finca is supplied with electricity from a photovoltaic system as well as town water connection.

It is accessed via an asphalted secondary road, from which a private path of approx. 370 m leads to the finca, as well as another private path.

Town water

Town water is the only official table water on the island. It is treated by the municipalities in accordance with the EU Drinking water ordinance, chlorinated to variable degrees depending on the weather and supplied with pressure by a water meter. The accounting takes place according to usage, it costs (depending of the municipality) approx. 4 €/month, basic fee including the first 15 m³, which is sufficient for a 2-3 person household. It is not allowed to use municipal water for extensive garden irrigation, consumption should not exceed 150 litres per person per day. For bulk consumers there are graduated prices: The higher the consumption, the more expensive the price is per m³. It is (above the included 15 m³ per month) from 0,50 € to 2,0 € per cubic meter.

✖

SAT-TV

The property is equipped with a television satellite reception system. So you can receive about 900 European television channels via Astra, of course also ARD and ZDF (even legally free of charge!) and all German private channels, most of them also in HD.

✖

Cistern

A cistern is a water tank, in which the so-called share water is usually collected here. Because this water arrives at the finca pressureless with a certain quantity per minute, one collects in winter (if less water is needed for the garden irrigation) the surplus water in this tank, so that one has a supply in summer, if more is needed. On some fincas the rainwater is also stored in it.

✖

Public electric grid

This finca is connected to the public electricity grid, which is not always self-evident in La Palma. Some properties also produce their own electricity, using alternative techniques and store it in batteries. Since we have a lot of sunshine and in some areas a lot of wind, a very environmentally friendly way of supplying energy.

✖

Fixed line connection via radio

At this finca the telephone is connected to the fixed network via the mobile network. This means that no phone lines spoil the view and you get a normal landline phone number (starting with +34 922…). The fees are charged in the same way as for a normal landline connection.

✖

Internet connection

Meanwhile almost all estates on la Palma are connected to the Internet, the development of the net takes place with high speed. Many different technologies are currently available, so that a nationwide connection is possible. Technical solutions are:

Fiber optic cable - speeds up to 300 Mbit possible. The network is currently being expanded and is available e.g. in Los Llanos, in Puntagorda from January 2019...
Copper cable over the telephone network - speed up to 10 Mbit possible, depending on the distance to the next node
Radio over mobile network - available almost all over the island - speeds currently up to 10 Mbit possible
directional radio - possible if there is a line of sight to the next radio transmitter. Speeds up to 12 Mbit possible, at quite interesting prices
Satellite connection - 100% coverage of the whole island, speeds up to 22MBit possible, relatively expensive, but at least, it works in the most remote areas.

Air conditioning with heating

Air conditioning is rarely used for cooling, even in midsummer our weather is rather moderate, temperatures above 30°C are the exception even in midsummer. But if in August the 'Calima', a hot desert wind from the Sahara gets lost to us, then we can also get over 35°C and after a few days one is thankful for an air conditioning. The systems operate mainly according to the construction principle of the air-air heat pump and are therefore quite energy-efficient (in cooling mode usually with an efficiency of 1:3, in heating mode of 1:4), so that electricity costs and CO2 emissions also remain within limits, especially as the systems are rarely used and the temperature differences to be compensated are not very large. In this respect, these systems are also often and gladly used for heating: Since they only have to run rarely and usually very briefly, but react quickly, an ideal heating system for most houses.

✖

Stock water

The so-called share water is used for garden irrigation. It's called this because you're not legally buying water, but a company share of one of the water cooperatives. On your 'water share' you receive the dividend in kind of water. Depending on the company, the quantities of water and the prices for these share certificates vary greatly; these shares can also be rented or rented out. A comprehensive topic on which we would be pleased to inform you.

The service water for the bathroom and kitchen is generated in a particularly environmentally friendly way with a solar thermal system, i.e. usually only solar energy is used to heat the service water. Only in case of several days without sun (which is rare in our country) it may be necessary to heat the water with additional external energy (electric or bottled gas). This usually takes place automatically, the energy saving amounts to about 90% according to our experience.
