About the Property

Set in the peaceful, green countryside of northern La Gomera, close to the Garajonay National Park, this established agricultural finca offers a rare opportunity to take over an existing small farm and continue developing a largely self-sufficient lifestyle.

The property extends to approximately 11,000 m² of mostly terraced, fully fenced land, surrounded by nature in a quiet and secluded setting near Agulo, La Palmita and Meriga.

Rather than starting from scratch, the new owners can benefit from an established agricultural setup with a habitable house, extensive water storage, registered livestock facilities, productive fruit trees, vegetable gardens, animals and a substantial collection of farming equipment.

The current owners are considering passing the finca on to someone who will appreciate its existing infrastructure and continue its development, ideally a small family looking for a more independent, hands-on way of life.

The Main House & Living Spaces

The main house measures approximately 140 m² and includes a large living room and terrace, creating a comfortable base from which to enjoy the surrounding countryside.

Features include:

• Two wood-burning stoves, including one suitable for cooking

• Air conditioning

• Heating system

• Large living area

• Terrace overlooking the surrounding property

Greywater passes through a simple filtration system before being directed into a storage tank for reuse. Rainwater is also collected, helping to make use of the available water resources.

Additional buildings include a separate working kitchen of approximately 25 m² and two storage rooms measuring around 12 m² each.

The house and existing buildings are described as being in well-maintained, habitable condition.

Agricultural Buildings & Livestock Facilities

The finca has substantial existing infrastructure for keeping animals and managing a small agricultural operation.

Buildings and facilities include:

• Cow stable of approximately 45 m²

• Separate 12 m² feed room

• Pigsty of approximately 12 m²

• Open shelter of approximately 15 m² with fenced paddock

• Chicken house of approximately 10 m² with fenced chicken run

• Separate working kitchen

• Two storage rooms

• Parking close to the house

The agricultural use and livestock-keeping operation are officially registered, making this particularly interesting for buyers looking to continue an established smallholding.

Water, Electricity & Infrastructure

One of the finca's major advantages is its existing water infrastructure, which supports both domestic use and agricultural production.

• Approximately 140,000 litres of water storage

• Water distribution throughout the finca via pipes

• Mains drinking water supply

• Mains electricity connection

• Rainwater collection and greywater reuse system

• Fully fenced land

• Established terraces and agricultural areas

• Parking close to the house

The combination of stored water, mains services and existing irrigation infrastructure provides a strong foundation for maintaining the gardens, fruit trees and livestock.

Existing Livestock Included

The current owners intend for the existing animals to move with the finca to a suitable new home, offering an opportunity to take over an already functioning small-scale livestock operation.

The animals include:

• Dexter/Belfair cattle, comprising one milk cow currently in production, one calf intended to become a milk cow, and one bull

• Two ponies

• Three sheep

• One pig

• Approximately 50 chickens

The registered livestock operation and existing animal housing make this a particularly appealing opportunity for someone interested in dairy production, animal husbandry and a more self-sufficient lifestyle.

The transfer of the animals would need to be agreed with the seller and completed in accordance with applicable animal registration and movement requirements.

Agriculture, Food Production & Forest Garden

The finca is already being developed as a productive, diverse agricultural property, with established trees, terraced growing areas and a forest garden currently in progress.

The existing fruit trees and perennial plants include:

• Chestnut

• Pear

• Apple

• Avocado

• Olive

• Pomegranate

• Persimmon (kaki)

• Kiwi

• Plum

• Orange

• Lemon

• Mandarin

• Raspberry

• Coffee

• Banana

Additional varieties are also present.

A vegetable garden with raised beds and drip irrigation provides space for growing fresh produce, while the existing terraces offer further opportunities to expand cultivation and develop the forest garden.

With its varied fruit trees, water storage and established agricultural infrastructure, the finca offers considerable potential for increasing food production and developing a diverse small-scale farming system.

Agricultural Equipment Included

A substantial selection of existing equipment can be included in the sale, helping the next owner continue working the land without having to purchase everything from the beginning.

Equipment includes:

• Motorised transport cart

• Two brush cutters

• Two chainsaws

• Milking machine

• Butter-making machine

• Cream separator

• Various additional agricultural tools and equipment

The precise inventory and which items are included would be confirmed with the seller.

Location & Natural Surroundings

The finca is located near Agulo, La Palmita and Meriga in northern La Gomera, in a quiet rural setting close to Garajonay National Park.

This part of the island is known for its lush landscapes, forested mountains, terraces and peaceful natural surroundings.

The location will appeal to those who value privacy, outdoor living and a close connection with nature, while the established farm provides the opportunity to build a daily routine around growing food, caring for animals and working the land.
