Description
After years of planning, I am finally starting my dream of building a self-sufficient, sustainable homestead in a beautiful hilly region of Hungary close to the Balaton lake. The project is in its early stages: I have a traditional adobe house (vályogház) that needs renovation and a large, overgrown land (1.5 hectares) that we are turning into a sanctuary for animals (goats, sheep, and dogs).
I am also involved in dog breeding. We breed Welsh Corgi Pembroke and Welsh Corgi Cardigan.
This is not a commercial farm, but a personal passion project aiming for nature conservation and a simple, grounded lifestyle.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
By staying with us, you will get a real taste of the authentic Hungarian 'homestead' (tanya) lifestyle, far away from the typical tourist trails. We are renovating a traditional adobe house (vályogház), so you can learn about ancient, eco-friendly building techniques and how to maintain these unique structures.
We love to share our culture and stories over a shared meal. We can show you the hidden gems of the region, from the nearby hills to the beautiful lake. If you are interested in sustainability, rural architecture, or dog behavior, we can have great exchanges of ideas and skills!

Accommodation
Currently, the accommodation is in a separate house 20 minutes from the farm (50m from Lake Balaton). It has two rooms, a kitchen, and a balcony. I provide a daily meal, or we can cook together.
Farmhouse located next to Igal. There is thermal bath in that town. The accommodation is next to Siófok 30 mins from the farm house, 50 m away from the Balaton lake.
Important: Public transport is okay, but having your own car is a plus as I cannot provide a private vehicle at the moment.
What else ...
Balaton lake is 20 mins away. Kaposvár a big city is also 20 mins away. Public transport is also works well.
