In this inspiring episode, John visits our client Brian Hoare on his spectacular 22,000m² plot of #rusticland in Spain, nestled near Benimantell.
This isn’t your typical build. It's a fully off-grid tiny house with a building licence already secured on protected land - a rare achievement in the Spanish property market.
Brian’s vision is both simple and ambitious: an #eco-friendly home and #sustainableliving retreat that treads lightly on the land. The project features a beautifully designed 80m² tiny house in #spain with a dramatic 5-metre ceiling, mezzanine bedrooms, an integrated permaculture design, and completely off-grid water systems. It’s a shining example of how to embrace rural life in Spain without sacrificing comfort or style.
At Eco Vida Homes, we helped Brian evaluate the challenges of building in Spain, especially on rustic land, secured the required planning permission, and designed a sustainable architecture solution that blends naturally with the landscape rather than bulldozing it. We’re now entering the exciting execution phase of this Spain villa project.
If you’re dreaming of off-grid living in Spain, starting a permaculture homestead, or designing a minimalist retreat with a low carbon footprint, this video is packed with practical insights, design inspiration, and encouragement.
