Ask a questionAbout Frans Spijker
Hi , I am Dutch by nationality and married since 1982 to a Maltese lady. My profession has made us live for the last 25 + years in 8 different countries around the world and we recently decided to settle down in Portugal .
Frans Spijker purchased this farmhouse in 2003
Why Frans Spijker chose Xaghra
Considering our strong family ties with Malta we always wanted to purchase some property on the sister island of Gozo. Why Gozo ? because it is much quieter and more intimate than Malta, also greener throughout the year with lovely beaches close by.
What makes this farmhouse unique
We purchased this property at the time and had it converted because we loved the location being on the outskirts of Xaghra ,with green areas behind,the possibility to have a nice garden, quietness but nevertheless still with all amenities of Xaghra within walking distance (10-15 mins). The property has 12 solar panels installed , is fully self supporting on electricity and in addition exports around 2000 Kwh/year. In total it avoids around 4 T CO2/year.
