Alternative Energy
The energy needs are met by a combination of solar power and generator located some 200 metres away. It is a highly sophisticated system controlled from the house. In addition a three phase pump supplies all the irrigation needs throughout the property.
Water Supply
Obtained from a deep borehole drawn to a large water tank, from there it is distributed for household and irrigation purposes. Historically there have always been ample supplies, further demonstrated by a recent drought lasting eighteen months when supplies were plentifull
Wildlife and Conservation
The property is an exclusion zone for hunting, usually a few partridges hare and quail are to be found with wild boar in the vicinity. swallows nest in the patio producing the joy of aerial display and rearing their young during the summer. Other regular visitors include buzzards herons, storks, kingfishers, harriers blue magpies and very occasionally vultures, with a wide range of birds of passage dropping by in the seasons.
It is expected that wildlife numbers will increase dramatically as shooting associations replace the free for all that has existed
