  Description

  I am a 40y old Musician and biologist, part-time teaching at high school and university in Vienna, half of the week and during the holidays I am living and developing this pittoresque small organic farm, frequently opening it up for guests, ecopedagogic Workshops and sometimes cultural events as well. There are various projects and things to do - helping with the animals (7 sheep at the moment, more to come in summer ;)), wine and garden / vegetable cultivation, watering, infrastructure work, woodcraft project, mowing and harvesting hay, lumberjack stuff... there is always work around and the Beauty of the place to enjoy at the same time. We are at the moment 3 people, with Heli (Finland) & Clemens (Germany) who are also living here with there husky blend dog Aino, working outside but also helping on the farm. It is a hilly pretty Area in southern Austria at the margin of the Slowenian speaking minority, close to lakes and mountains. It's steep with a great view from the hilltop, and right behind lies the beautiful mixed forest. The highway is only some hundred metres away, while you don't see it from the farm you clearly hear it (outside) - but this hasn't inhibited anybody so far from enjoying and loving the beautiful place, an amazing biodiversity being one of its treasures. We have our own, wood, water and solar energy supply (self-built and started in 2023). So, if this speaks to you, we are waiting to welcome you and share a unique time here - especially in summer, when Heli, David and Clemens (partly) won't be here to help running our precious little farmlife...!
