  • Description

    Description

    We are Christine and Joachim, both 58 years old, and we live in a very friendly farming village about 25 km south of Augsburg in Bavaria.
    Here, we are developing a small eco-friendly leisure and vacation project, guided by our intuition and driven by a passion for design styles such as Art Deco. Our work is inspired by the idea of creating atmospheric and cozy spaces.

    Our property includes a treehouse, a circus wagon, an enchanting Mediterranean-style garden with beautiful lemon trees, and a friendly herd of goats. It is a peaceful and inspiring setting, surrounded by forests and nature.

    In addition to our home, we are currently renovating a small, old house, using old, high-quality materials whenever possible. The project has already begun—a highlight so far is a spectacular climbing wall built to bring an old vision to life.

    We are looking for someone to help us care for our goats, assist in the garden, and with household chores.
    Our daughter (30) lives nearby and stops by regularly to help with the projects.
    Joachim enjoys long-distance runs through the surrounding forests, while Christine loves cooking good food for people and playing the accordion.

    We offer shared meals, an open and welcoming atmosphere, and the opportunity to be part of an interesting and creative project. We enjoy working together, exchanging ideas, and creating a place with character, care, and meaning.

    We live in a small, authentic, still very lively farming village, surrounded by a beautiful nature park.
