Agents Note

Our vendors highlight the potential to live 'off grid'. Plenty of scope to add solar panels and a small wind turbine subject to the necessary consents. Water source has been tested and is PH balanced - currently could be used as greywater but with additional filter and pump could potentially be potable water.
