  Description

  We are a couple (mid-50's) living in a former farmhouse with several barns and gardens. Bedroom options in the farmhouse, in a barn, in a tent and in caravan. A space for Vanlife is available as well.
  As former travelers we are keen on having guests and we are are looking for support to grind and paint four wooden barn doors and/or renew some things in our barns or building additional stairs in a barn. Or making some gardens winterproof.
  
  We are located near the westernmost point of Germany, surrounded by the Netherlands. It takes 10-15 bicycleminutes to a Dutch railroadstation which will bring you to Sittard(easy by bicycle too), Aachen, Maastricht, Liège, Eindhoven, Amsterdam, etc.
  Düsseldorf and Cologne can be reached by bus+train.
  Bicycles are available.
  
  If you are a free and tolerant person (couples are welcome too) who likes a, nearby, remote quiet location, with space to relax, read, yoga, meditation, taking sunbaths, work digital (glassfiber internet), walk in a nature reserve nextdoor but also enjoy to visit the nearby cities as mentioned above, then feel welcome to contact us.
  
  Please note: All races, genders, positive open minds and (non)+vegetarians are welcome. Extremists and energy pirates only if you are open for a quick and sustainable change.
