My name is Olzhas, I discovering new cultures and ways of living. I have a big family. I bought Toksumak farm (500 ha) 4 years ago. I dream about eco-freedom village with strong sense of collectivity ( as kibbutz village).
Locally you can go to the lake, explore the surrounding nature, go fishing, take the bicycle. Toksumak is close from Karaganda and astana if you want to visit those cities.
