  Description

  Join us on a beautiful estate in Bela Krajina, approx. 5 ha and located in the middle of unspoiled nature, white birch and chestnut trees. Nearby is the river Kolpa, which can reach up to 30 degrees C in the summer months, and you can reach Croatia in less than half an hour.
  We are an elderly, couple who moved to the property 4 years ago. We have 3 bouncy kitties keeping us company. We cultivate the land in a biodynamic way and want to become largely self-sufficient. We grow seedlings ourselves, mow the grass, produce compost, clean the forest and do everything else that is needed. Apart from three kittens, there are no other animals on the property, except for the roe deer that come to graze from the nearby forest. The property is surrounded by forest on three sides.
