Details
Description
we are currently renovating our kitchen with natural materials like chalk and sand and lime. If you would like to give us a hand you are very much welcome. You need to have your own car or transport. Our house is very isolated The next village is at 7 km.
We have 19 hectares of land around the farm and several buildings. Our goal is to create a ´makers place´ in a rural area where everyone has his own space to work/ create but we share a barn atelier. The farm is located on a hill with beautiful views and next to a nature reservate.

What else ...
The Bourgogne is known for its nature, forests and beautiful skies. There is not much to do around here, but that is the beauty of it. It is completely still and quiet here. The best village nearby is Autun or Montceau les Mines. There is a TGV station at 30 minutes. We live very isolated the nearest shop is at 7 km, having your own transport/car is really necessary.
