We, Annette, Nepomuk, Lillith, Naomi and Salome are living in a 300 year old farm.
Nepomuk and Annette bought the farm as almost a ruine 26 years ago and since then, piece by piece we rebuilt it . Everything is very individual designed because we love building with old materials.
Nepomuk is a gardener by profession and we have a garden with organic vegetable and fruits. Annette is an artist and art therapist. She works in schools for art projects and makes participation projects official. We both are freelancers.
To take advantage of the countryside there also belong animals to our farm: chickens, dog, cat, fish, and four donkeys. We are always trying to find a balance between life thats necessary and our own dream of the way of living.
In summertime we like going to swim at our swimming place, sitting a the fire and enjoy to be outside as much as possibe.
We also have a pond to swim and a private DIY skate spot. if you like this you are welcome!
Our village has 30 inhabitants and is located in the near of Wunsiedel. We are really in the middle of nature and if you enjoy walking or cycling, you can have some nice trips in our area. The nearest major town is Marktredwitz, there is also the trainstation. Nuremberg and Regensburg are about 130 km away.
