ABOUT ARTS ECO VILLAGE™

 

What is ARTS Eco Village™?

❓ARTS Eco Village™ is a boutique eco-development in southern Spain, combining a limited number of premium Tiny Houses with luxury glamping, carefully selected eco activities and the Mediterranean lifestyle.

Rather than creating a large holiday resort, our ambition is to develop a small, high-quality village where comfort, sustainability, nature and community come together.

❓Where will ARTS Eco Village™ be located?

The first ARTS Eco Village™ is planned for the Costa del Sol in southern Spain.

Several suitable plots have been identified and are currently being evaluated in close cooperation with architects, planning professionals and local authorities.

The final location will be announced once all necessary agreements and planning procedures have been completed.

❓Why did you choose the Costa del Sol?

The Costa del Sol offers a unique combination of sunshine, accessibility, beautiful landscapes and one of Europe's longest holiday seasons.

It is an internationally recognised destination with excellent infrastructure, making it an ideal location for both personal enjoyment and holiday rentals.

❓What makes ARTS Eco Village™ different from other Tiny House projects?

ARTS Eco Village™ is more than a collection of Tiny Houses.

Our concept combines premium Tiny Houses, luxury glamping, eco experiences and carefully designed communal spaces within a boutique-scale environment.

By intentionally limiting the number of homes, we aim to create a peaceful village with privacy, quality and a genuine sense of place rather than a traditional holiday park.

❓Why did you choose Tiny Houses?

Tiny Houses represent a growing international movement towards smarter, more sustainable living.

They offer comfort, efficient use of space and lower environmental impact while allowing owners to enjoy a simpler lifestyle without sacrificing quality.

❓Will there be more ARTS Eco Villages in the future?

That is certainly our ambition.

The first ARTS Eco Village™ is intended to become the foundation for future boutique eco-villages at carefully selected locations in southern Spain.

Our focus, however, is first and foremost on creating an outstanding first village that can serve as a model for future developments.

❓Who is behind ARTS Eco Village™?

ARTS Eco Village™ is an independent initiative developed in collaboration with experienced professionals, including architects, legal advisers, planning specialists and international partners.

The project is being built step by step, with careful attention to quality, transparency and long-term sustainability.

❓What stage is the project currently in?

ARTS Eco Village™ is currently in the development phase.

Important milestones already achieved include the preparation of the business plan, brand development, website, discussions with architects and legal advisers, identification of suitable plots, ongoing negotiations with landowners and growing international interest from prospective buyers and strategic partners.

As with every responsible real estate development, the project continues to progress through the necessary planning, legal and commercial stages before construction can begin.

 

THE VILLAGE

 

❓Why are there only around 30 Tiny Houses?

ARTS Eco Village™ is intentionally designed as a boutique development rather than a large holiday resort. With approximately 30 carefully positioned Tiny Houses, we aim to preserve space, privacy, tranquillity and a close connection with nature. We believe that, in this case, less truly is more.

❓Will there be a restaurant?

Not a full-scale restaurant.

Instead, we envision a welcoming reception area with a small café-style corner where guests and owners can enjoy coffee, breakfast, light refreshments and selected local products. A small convenience shop offering everyday essentials is also being considered. For a wider choice of restaurants, cafés and bars, excellent facilities are available just a short distance from the village.

❓What facilities will be available?

Although ARTS Eco Village™ is intentionally kept small, we aim to provide a carefully selected range of practical and enjoyable facilities, including:

• Reception and guest services

• Bicycle and e-bike rental

• A small convenience shop for daily essentials

• Rental management support for owners

• Swimming pool

• Landscaped communal areas

• Carefully selected eco activities

As the project develops, additional facilities may be introduced where they enhance the experience while preserving the village's intimate character.

❓What eco activities are planned?

ARTS Eco Village™ is about much more than Tiny Houses.

We are exploring a variety of small-scale eco activities designed to connect guests and owners with nature, health and the local environment. Ideas currently under consideration include wellness and mindfulness activities, outdoor fitness, walking and cycling experiences, educational workshops, nature-focused events and other sustainable lifestyle initiatives.

The exact programme will evolve as the project develops and in close consultation with local partners and the municipality.

 ❓ Will there be a swimming pool?

Yes.

A swimming pool forms an important part of the overall village concept and is intended to provide a relaxing place where owners and guests can enjoy the Mediterranean climate throughout much of the year.

❓How much privacy will owners have?

Privacy is one of the core principles of ARTS Eco Village™.

The layout of the village is being designed to provide each Tiny House with as much private outdoor space and tranquillity as reasonably possible, while still creating a welcoming sense of community. Our ambition is to achieve the ideal balance between privacy, comfort and neighbourly interaction.

 

OWNERSHIP & LEGAL

 

❓Can foreigners buy a Tiny House in Spain?

Yes.

Citizens from many countries can purchase tiny houses in Spain. The purchase process is well established and will be carried out in accordance with Spanish law. We will be pleased to guide international buyers through each step of the process.

❓Will I become the legal owner of my Tiny House?

Yes.

The exact legal structure will depend on the final development and licensing arrangements. Full details will be provided well before the official sales process begins, ensuring complete transparency for all buyers.

❓How is the purchase process organised?

Our aim is to make the process as straightforward and transparent as possible.

From Priority Registration through to the final Purchase Agreement, buyers will receive clear information at every stage, supported by experienced legal and professional advisers.

 ❓Why is an independent legal team involved?

The Founding Village Pioneer Programme is being developed in cooperation with an independent Spanish legal team, providing professional legal guidance and oversight throughout the Pioneer and reservation process.

Where applicable, Pioneer funds will be held in a dedicated client funds / escrow account and will only be released or used in accordance with clearly defined contractual conditions.

This structure is designed to provide transparency, accountability and confidence for all participating Pioneers.

❓ What is an escrow account?

An escrow account is a dedicated account in which funds are held separately from the project's operational funds and are subject to agreed conditions for their release or use.This provides confidence for both buyers and the project.

❓What happens if the project cannot proceed?

Although we are working carefully towards the successful development of ARTS Eco Village™, responsible project development also means preparing for every scenario.

Should the agreed project conditions not be fulfilled, any funds held in a notarial escrow arrangement will be dealt with in accordance with the agreed terms and applicable Spanish law.

❓Will I receive legal guidance during the purchase process?

Absolutely.

We encourage every buyer to obtain independent legal advice. In addition, ARTS Eco Village™ will work with a independent Spanish legal team who can explain the purchase process and assist buyers where appropriate.

❓Is this about selling or gathering data?

Neither. Our aim is to connect with people who genuinely share our interest in sustainable, rural living.
By registering your interest, you’re simply helping us understand the level of demand and shape the project accordingly.
No financial commitment or personal risk is involved.

​

RENTAL & INVESTMENT

 

❓Can I rent out my Tiny House?

Yes.

Owners will have the opportunity to combine personal use with holiday rentals, allowing them to enjoy their Tiny House while also generating rental income during periods when they are not using it themselves.

 ❓What rental income can I expect?

Rental income depends on several factors, including the season, occupancy levels, the type of Tiny House and overall market demand.

The Costa del Sol enjoys one of Europe's longest tourism seasons, with visitors throughout the year. Comparable boutique holiday accommodations often achieve attractive nightly rates, particularly during spring, summer and autumn.

As ARTS Eco Village™ develops, we will provide more detailed information regarding rental projections and management options.

❓Will there be a rental management service?

That is certainly our intention.

Many owners prefer a hassle-free experience. We therefore intend to offer or facilitate professional rental management, including guest communication, check-in, cleaning, maintenance and booking administration.

Further details will be announced as the project progresses.

❓Can I use my Tiny House whenever I want?

Yes.

Your Tiny House is your property. You decide when you would like to enjoy it yourself and when you wish to make it available for holiday rentals, subject to the agreed management arrangements.

❓Who pays for electricity, water and other utility costs?

When your Tiny House is rented to guests, utility costs such as electricity and water are normally included in the rental price.

The exact financial arrangements will be communicated before the commercial launch, ensuring complete transparency for all owners.

❓Will ARTS Eco Village™ help attract guests?

Yes.

One of our ambitions is to actively promote ARTS Eco Village™ as a distinctive destination on the Costa del Sol through professional marketing, partnerships and online visibility.

By promoting the village as a whole, we aim to benefit all participating owners.

❓Is ARTS Eco Village™ primarily an investment or a lifestyle purchase?

We believe it is both.

Many owners will be attracted by the Mediterranean lifestyle, the unique Tiny House concept and the opportunity to enjoy their own place in southern Spain.

At the same time, holiday rentals may provide an attractive opportunity to generate income when the property is not being used personally. 

❓Is rental income guaranteed?

No.

As with any holiday accommodation, rental performance depends on factors such as market conditions, occupancy, pricing, seasonality and owner availability.

ARTS Eco Village™ does not guarantee rental income but aims to create the best possible conditions for successful holiday rentals through thoughtful design, an attractive location and professional marketing.

❓Can I sell my Tiny House in the future?

Yes.

Should you decide to sell your Tiny House at a later stage, you will be free to do so in accordance with the applicable legal structure and ownership arrangements.

❓ Why could ARTS Eco Village™ represent an attractive opportunity?

ARTS Eco Village™ combines several trends that continue to gain international momentum:

• Growing demand for Tiny Houses.

• Increasing interest in sustainable tourism.

• The enduring popularity of the Costa del Sol.

• A boutique-scale concept with limited availability.

• The flexibility to combine personal enjoyment with holiday rentals.

Our ambition is to create a village that is not only enjoyable to own, but also well positioned for the future.

​

PRORITY REGISTRATION

 

❓What is the Priority Registration Programme?

The Priority Registration Programme has been created to offer prospective buyers a fair and transparent way to express their interest before the official public launch of ARTS Eco Village™.

With only around 30 Tiny Houses planned for the first village, we believe it is important to organise the allocation process in a professional and transparent manner.

 ❓Does The Founding Village Pioneer Programme guarantee that I can buy a Tiny House?

No.

Priority Registration does not constitute a purchase agreement and does not automatically guarantee ownership.

It does, however, secure your priority position in the allocation process, subject to the applicable terms and conditions.

❓Why is The Founding Village Pioneer Programme necessary?

Interest in ARTS Eco Village™ has grown steadily from several European countries.

Because only a limited number of Tiny Houses will be available, we believe it is fairer to establish a transparent registration process rather than simply allocating homes on a first-come, first-served basis after the official launch.

❓How does the process work?

The intended process consists of several steps:

1. Explore the project.

2. Register your interest.

3. Personal introduction and project discussion.

4. The Founding Village Pioneer Agreement.

5. Notarial supervision and escrow (where applicable).

6. Official purchase process once all project conditions have been met.

Each step is designed to provide clarity, transparency and confidence for everyone involved.

❓Why is a Spanish Notary involved?

Transparency and legal certainty are fundamental values of ARTS Eco Village™.

For that reason, we intend to involve an independent Spanish Notary in The Founding Village Pioneer Programme process. Where applicable, the notary will supervise the agreed procedures and any escrow arrangements.

❓Will my registration fee be protected?

Yes.

Where applicable, any registration funds will be held in a secure notarial escrow arrangement and administered in accordance with the agreed terms and applicable Spanish law.

Further details will be provided before the programme becomes fully operational.

❓Can I withdraw from the programme?

The applicable conditions will be clearly explained before any agreement is signed.

Our objective is to ensure that every participant fully understands the process and the associated rights and obligations before making any commitment.

❓When will I be invited to purchase a Tiny House?

Participants in The Founding Village Pioneer Programme will be informed as the project reaches the necessary development milestones.

The official purchase process will commence only after the required legal and planning conditions have been satisfied.

❓Why should I register now rather than wait?

Because availability will be limited.

By joining The Founding Village Pioneer Programme, you can secure a priority position while the project continues to progress through the remaining development stages.

❓Why has ARTS Eco Village™ chosen this approach?

We believe that purchasing a Tiny House should begin with trust.

Rather than focusing solely on selling homes, we want to provide prospective owners with a transparent, professionally managed process that inspires confidence from the very beginning.​​

❓Who is behind these projects?

Both initiatives — ARTS Eco Village™ and Tiny Houses Spain™ — are led by an experienced international team with backgrounds in real estate development, architecture, design, marketing and sustainability.
We also collaborate with lawyers, gestors, architects and local advisors to guarantee a transparent, well-structured process in full accordance with Spanish regulations.

❓What makes this project different from others?

We focus on credibility and long-term value.
Our approach is transparent, responsible and personal — working only with verified partners and licensed suppliers of eco-friendly tiny houses.
Each location is chosen for its natural beauty, accessibility and harmony with the environment.

 

LOCATION & COSTA DEL SOL

 

❓Why was the Costa del Sol chosen?

The Costa del Sol offers one of Europe's most attractive combinations of climate, accessibility, lifestyle and natural beauty.

With more than 300 days of sunshine each year, excellent infrastructure and a truly international atmosphere, it is an ideal location for both personal enjoyment and holiday rentals.

❓Where will the first ARTS Eco Village™ be located?

The first village is planned for the western Costa del Sol in southern Spain.

Several carefully selected plots are currently being evaluated in consultation with architects, planning professionals and local authorities. The exact location will be announced once all necessary agreements and planning procedures have been completed.

❓How close will the village be to beaches, restaurants and shops?

One of the key principles of ARTS Eco Village™ is to combine tranquillity with convenience.

While the village is intended to offer peace, privacy and a natural setting, everyday amenities such as supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, beaches and leisure facilities are expected to be within easy reach.

❓How accessible is the Costa del Sol?

The Costa del Sol is one of Spain's best-connected regions.

Málaga International Airport offers direct flights to many European cities throughout the year, making the region easily accessible for both owners and holiday guests.

Excellent road infrastructure also provides convenient access to the surrounding towns and attractions.

❓Why is the Costa del Sol attractive for Tiny Houses?

The region's mild climate allows outdoor living during much of the year.

Combined with beautiful natural surroundings, an established tourism market and increasing interest in sustainable accommodation, the Costa del Sol provides an ideal setting for boutique Tiny House developments.

❓Can I enjoy my Tiny House all year round?

Yes.

Thanks to the Mediterranean climate, the Costa del Sol is a year-round destination.

Many owners choose to visit during spring and autumn for the pleasant temperatures, while winter offers a welcome escape from colder northern European climates.

❓What can I do in the surrounding area?

The Costa del Sol offers an exceptional variety of experiences.

Depending on your interests, you can enjoy beautiful beaches, hiking, cycling, golf, water sports, traditional white villages, local markets, cultural attractions, nature reserves and outstanding Mediterranean cuisine.

ARTS Eco Village™ is intended to complement these experiences with its own carefully selected eco activities.

❓Will I need a car?

Although a car is recommended for exploring the wider region, our ambition is to select a location where essential facilities and local attractions are easily accessible.

In addition, bicycle and e-bike rental are intended to become part of the village facilities, encouraging guests and owners to explore the surrounding area in a sustainable way.

❓Why is southern Spain so popular with international buyers?

Southern Spain continues to attract buyers from across Europe and beyond thanks to its climate, relaxed lifestyle, excellent accessibility, modern infrastructure and high quality of life.

For many people, owning a Tiny House on the Costa del Sol offers the opportunity to combine holidays, personal enjoyment and potential rental opportunities in one unique destination.

❓What makes the location of ARTS Eco Village™ special?

Our ambition is not simply to find land.

Our ambition is to find the right location—one that combines nature, accessibility, privacy, beautiful surroundings and proximity to everyday amenities.

Because we believe that the location is every bit as important as the Tiny Houses themselves.

​

SUSTAINABILY

 

❓What does sustainability mean at ARTS Eco Village™?

For us, sustainability means making thoughtful choices that respect both people and the environment.

Rather than pursuing sustainability for its own sake, our aim is to create a village where comfort, quality and responsible living naturally go hand in hand.

❓Will the Tiny Houses be energy efficient?

Yes.

Energy efficiency is an important consideration in the design of the Tiny Houses. Modern construction techniques, quality insulation and energy-conscious design will help reduce energy consumption while maintaining a high level of comfort.

❓Will renewable energy be used?

Where practical and technically feasible, renewable energy solutions will be considered as part of the overall development.

The exact technologies will depend on the final design, technical studies and applicable regulations.

❓How will water be managed?

Water is a valuable resource, particularly in southern Spain.

The project aims to encourage responsible water use through efficient fixtures, thoughtful landscaping and other sustainable water management measures wherever appropriate.

❓How will the natural environment be protected?

Our ambition is to work with the landscape rather than against it.

The layout of the village will be carefully designed to preserve the natural character of the site while minimising unnecessary environmental impact.

❓Will there be green spaces?

Absolutely.

Green spaces are an essential part of the ARTS Eco Village™ concept.

Landscaped communal areas, native planting and attractive outdoor spaces are intended to create a peaceful environment where owners and guests can relax and enjoy nature.

❓Why are Tiny Houses considered sustainable?

Tiny Houses typically require fewer building materials, consume less energy and encourage more efficient use of space than traditional homes.

Combined with thoughtful design and responsible site planning, they can contribute to a lower environmental footprint without compromising comfort.

❓Will the project support biodiversity?

Where possible, yes.

We aim to incorporate landscaping that complements the local ecosystem and encourages biodiversity through the use of suitable plants and environmentally responsible design principles.

❓How does ARTS Eco Village™ encourage sustainable living?

Sustainability is reflected not only in the buildings, but also in the lifestyle.

Owners and guests will be encouraged to enjoy outdoor living, walking, cycling, nature experiences and other activities that promote wellbeing while respecting the surrounding environment.

❓Is sustainability the only focus of the project?

No.

ARTS Eco Village™ is about balance.

Our ambition is to combine sustainability with comfort, quality, relaxation and the Mediterranean lifestyle. We believe these elements complement one another and together create a unique place to own, visit and enjoy.

❓Why is it called ARTS Eco Village™?

Because we believe that creating a beautiful place to live and relax is an art in itself.

ARTS Eco Village™ brings together thoughtful design, sustainability, comfort and the Mediterranean lifestyle in a carefully balanced boutique concept where nature and quality go hand in hand.

​

DEVELOPMENT & PLANNING 

 

❓What stage is ARTS Eco Village™ currently in?

ARTS Eco Village™ is currently in the development phase.

During this stage, we are working closely with architects, legal advisers, planning professionals, landowners and potential partners to prepare the project for the next phase. You can find the target timeline here: timeline

❓Has a plot already been selected?

Several carefully selected plots on the Costa del Sol are currently under evaluation.

The final choice will depend on planning possibilities, accessibility, environmental considerations and the overall suitability for the ARTS Eco Village™ concept.

❓When will construction begin?

Construction can only commence after all necessary planning permissions, legal procedures and project preparations have been completed.

Our priority is to build the project responsibly rather than quickly. You can find the target timeline here: timeline

❓When will the first Tiny Houses become available?

At this stage it is too early to announce a definitive delivery schedule.

As soon as the necessary planning procedures have been completed, we will communicate an indicative project timeline with all Priority Registration participants.

❓Why does project development take time?

Every quality real estate development progresses through several important stages before construction begins.

These include land acquisition, planning procedures, architectural design, legal documentation, infrastructure planning and financing.

Taking the time to complete these steps carefully helps create a stronger and more sustainable project.

❓Will buyers receive regular project updates?

Yes.

Transparency is one of the principles of ARTS Eco Village™.

Registered participants will receive regular updates on important milestones and developments as the project progresses.

❓Who is involved in developing the project?

ARTS Eco Village™ is being developed in collaboration with experienced professionals, including architects, legal advisers, planning specialists, engineers and other trusted partners.

Additional expertise will be added as the project moves into its next phases.

❓How can I stay informed?

The easiest way is to join our mailing list or participate in the The Founding Village Pioneer Programme.

We regularly share updates through our website, newsletters and social media channels.

❓Why are you sharing information before construction starts?

Because we believe trust begins long before the first Tiny House is built.

By sharing our progress openly, we invite future owners to follow the journey and understand the careful preparation behind every important decision.

❓Why not wait until everything is finished?

Because the first ARTS Eco Village™ is expected to offer only a limited number of Tiny Houses.

Many future owners appreciate the opportunity to follow the project from an early stage, stay informed about its progress and, where appropriate, secure a priority position before the official public launch.

​

LIVING AT ARTS ECO VILLAGE™

 

❓Who is ARTS Eco Village™ designed for?

ARTS Eco Village™ is intended for people who appreciate quality, nature, comfort and the Mediterranean lifestyle.

Whether you're looking for a holiday retreat, a second home, a place to work remotely or simply somewhere to relax, our ambition is to create a welcoming environment for owners of all ages.

❓Can I live in my Tiny House permanently?

The intended use of the Tiny Houses will depend on the final planning permissions and applicable Spanish regulations.

We will provide clear information about the permitted use of the properties as soon as the legal framework has been finalised.

❓Will the village be peaceful?

Yes.

One of the guiding principles of ARTS Eco Village™ is tranquillity.

With only around 30 Tiny Houses, carefully designed landscaping and generous spacing between units, we aim to create a calm and relaxing environment where owners and guests can truly unwind.

❓Will there be a sense of community?

Absolutely—but never at the expense of privacy.

ARTS Eco Village™ is intended to offer the best of both worlds: private spaces where you can enjoy peace and quiet, alongside attractive communal areas where owners and guests can meet if they wish.

❓Can I bring my family?

Of course.

The village is intended to welcome couples, families and individuals looking for a unique holiday experience in southern Spain.

❓Are pets allowed?

Our intention is to create a pet-friendly environment, subject to reasonable community rules that respect both pet owners and other residents.

Further details will be communicated before the commercial launch.

❓Will there be high-speed internet?

Yes.

Reliable high-speed internet is considered an essential facility, allowing owners and guests to stay connected, work remotely or simply enjoy modern digital services.

❓Can I work remotely from my Tiny House?

Absolutely.

With a comfortable living environment, reliable internet and the pleasant climate of southern Spain, ARTS Eco Village™ is intended to be an attractive destination for remote workers and digital professionals.

❓Will there be activities for owners and guests?

Yes.

Alongside the village facilities, we intend to offer a selection of eco activities, outdoor experiences and lifestyle initiatives that encourage relaxation, wellbeing and a connection with nature.

Participation will always be optional.

❓What will daily life at ARTS Eco Village™ feel like?

Imagine starting your day with breakfast on your own terrace, taking a walk or bike ride through the surrounding countryside, enjoying the pool, visiting a nearby beach or traditional Spanish village, and ending the evening under a Mediterranean sunset.

That is the atmosphere we hope to create.

❓Why choose a Tiny House lifestyle?

Because many people are discovering that happiness isn't measured in square metres.

A thoughtfully designed Tiny House offers comfort, simplicity and freedom, allowing you to spend less time maintaining a property and more time enjoying life, nature and the people around you.

❓What is the vision behind ARTS Eco Village™?

Our vision is simple.

To create a boutique village where people can slow down, reconnect with nature, enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle and experience the comfort of beautifully designed Tiny Houses in a peaceful and inspiring environment.

Because we believe that the best places are not necessarily the biggest—they are the ones people never want to leave.

 

​WILD FIRE AWARENESS

​

❓Did you consider increased risk of wildfires?

At ARTS Eco Village™, wildfire awareness is therefore considered an important aspect of the planning process. Fire-aware by Design! Wildfire resilience is considered during the planning and design of ARTS Eco Village™. Final measures will be determined in consultation with architects, engineers and the relevant authorities.  

At ARTS Eco Village™, our commitment to permaculture, art, and sustainable living goes hand in hand with protecting our beautiful natural environment. Because the village is located within a forest fire zone under Andalusia's Plan INFOCA, we take wildfire prevention seriously.

In strict accordance with the regulations of the Junta de Andalucía and the Town Hall, we have implemented comprehensive safety measures to safeguard our community, our guests, and the surrounding ecosystem.

As required by the Wildfire Self-Protection Bylaw, Arts Eco Village™ operates under a registered Plan de Autoprotección. This plan maps our terrain, details our available emergency water resources, outlines clear evacuation protocols, and structures our communal fire response framework.

❓Will you actively protect your village?

At Arts Eco Village™ we will utilize a mixture of smart ecological design and strict municipal safety standards to keep our landscape resilient:

1. Fire-Resistant Landscaping (Permaculture Design)

• Smart Species Selection: We prioritize planting fire-resistant native flora rather than highly flammable species like cypress or pine.

• Strategic Break Zones: We maintain a 3-meter immediate clear zone directly around structures, free of low-hanging or dry vegetation.

• 30-Meter Buffer Zones: We manage a wider 30-meter perimeter protection area to create horizontal and vertical space between tree crowns and ground brush, slowing potential fire spread.

2. Terrain & Structural Maintenance

• Clearing Undergrowth: We cut back weeds and wild grasses across the property so they never exceed 10 cm in height during dry periods.

• Roof & Gutter Cleanliness: Dead leaves, overhanging branches, and organic debris are systematically cleared from all building roofs.

• Eco-Friendly, Fire-Retardant Materials: Our building frameworks avoid highly flammable plastics, synthetic awnings, and unprotected wood planks. 

3. Emergency Infrastructure

• Water Reservoirs: We maintain dedicated water deposits, eco-pools, and irrigation systems to assist in fire-suppression efforts if needed. 

• Unobstructed Access: All internal eco-village pathways and main entrance gates are kept entirely clear of parked vehicles to guarantee instant access for heavy firefighting trucks. 

❓What is the Community Fire Safety Fee and why is it mandatory?

It is a collective contribution paid by all tiny house owners to fund the mandatory fire prevention infrastructure required by the Mijas Town Hall and Plan INFOCA. Under Andalusian law, the village cannot operate without these active measures. It is legally bundled into the community fees, ensuring every resident shares the responsibility of keeping the ecosystem safe.

❓What specific wildfire protection expenses does this fee cover?

The fee is strictly allocated to three key areas of the Plan de Autoprotección:

• Seasonal Land Management: Contracting heavy machinery or manual labor twice a year (before June 1 and after October 15) to clear dry undergrowth and maintain the 30-meter perimeter firebreak zone.

• Infrastructure Maintenance: Servicing the dedicated water deposits, testing emergency pumps, and maintaining pressurized hydrants.

• Administrative Compliance: Paying the certified technical engineer who must periodically inspect, update, and officially re-submit the village's Plan de Autoprotección to the Mijas municipality.

❓How should the costs be calculated and split among owners?

The most transparent method is to use a Fixed Base + Plot Size formula:

1. Fixed Base (60% of total budget): Split equally among all plots. This covers shared infrastructure (the main water deposits, hydrants, engineering fees, and main perimeter firebreaks).

2. Variable/Plot Size (40% of total budget): Calculated by the square meters of each individual plot or the specific fire-clearing effort required around that specific tiny house.

❓Can we use eco-village resources to reduce these costs?

Yes, permaculture design can actively lower your cash expenses. You can reduce the community fee by implementing:

• Controlled Biomass Grazing: Partnering with local shepherds or keeping community livestock (like goats or sheep) to naturally manage undergrowth inside buffer zones during spring.

• Voluntary Community Workdays: Organizing "Fire Safe" community days where residents collectively clear roofs, gutters, and individual 3-meter zones, reducing the need for external contractors.

• Productive Firebreaks: Planting low-flammability, irrigated crops (like specific organic orchards or succulent gardens) along perimeters instead of leaving empty terrain that requires constant tilling.

❓How can we guarantee transparency so owners know their money is spent correctly?

We will establish a "Wildfire Safety Fund" (Fondo de Prevención de Incendios) separate from the general eco-village maintenance budget. Present an annual line-item budget before the high-risk season starts, showing exactly what is allocated for brush cutting, equipment checks, and compliance. Any leftover funds at the end of the year are legally rolled over to the next year's fire budget.

An annual wildfire protection budget for a 30-plot layout totals approximately €8,800 per year based on local Spanish forestry contractor rates. Spreading this across 30 plots reduces the individual burden significantly, making it highly affordable for tiny house owners when managed collectively.
