  • Description

    Description

    We are a couple who are reviving a 200 years old, large historical building. This building used to be a village hall but the village slowly disapeared and now we have only a few neighbours left, so we are in very remote and quiet place, yet Riga -Tallin motorway is only a few minutes walk away. Our aim is to create an unique and artistic place where we promote healthy and sustainable lifstyle. There is a sauna on the property, a couple old bikes, workout equipement and many books in English and other languages. You can use our private wood area for camping and enjoy nature, we have tents and sleeping bags available. We have a massive garden where we would like to start growing our own food, we have fruit trees too. Also the sea is only 3km away,
