Finca Plan        

    

Please note that is just the top part of the estate - the plan will be extended once the new ´wet woodland´project has been completed.  

 

Future Projects

Below the Casa del Sueño, the land slopes gently down to the valley floor into the protected Marismas.  Citrus, fruit & bay trees, vines, wild herbs & flowers already edge our four-acre water meadow with its new lake & small island.  This is slowly being turned into a 'wet woodland' - left solely to wildlife, including many migratory and rare nesting birds. 

 

During the year, the lake will fill naturally from the winter rains and the Rio Barbate which flows close by and out to sea just 5km away.  Surrounding the meadow with willows, eucalyptus and other water-loving trees (to be planted in late Autumn), it will only be accessible by a raised pontoon to allow nature to be seen at her best - without disturbance.  We even hope to tempt some of the local river turtles!
