Description
Hello, we are a family of three, originally from the Netherlands.
Feeling tired of the rat race and rush of our lives we decided to move to the French countryside, The Dordogne.
We bought an old rural property with several buildings and a lake, (read overgrown, derelict, neglected in the middle of nowhere) and started to bring it back alive.
It is a beautiful place if you're into swimming, hiking, mountain biking, clean air and peace and quiet.
Turns out there is a lot more to be done ( we do all the work ourselves) then we can handle.
That's why we seek help from people who would love stay in the middle of a national Park, work outside in the woods, orchard, rebuilding old walls etc.
