Description
We are a family of three (46, 12, 10). In 2022 we bought a beautiful piece of land here near Monsanto. We are working on becoming self-sufficient, making our own compost for our garden, keeping various animals ( horses, donkeys, sheep, ducks, chicken, dogs, cats) and much more.
About a year ago our three horses joined in, rescued from starvation and got in really good condition. Our beautiful Mustang (Pferdinand) in particular is now slowly getting bored.
If you are experienced with horses, even with horses that are not trained and would like to join us, then come and help us train our three sweeties.
We are also happy to have other help, e.g. in the garden, moving new paddocks, repairing fences.
If you are looking for a very quiet ,very off-grid area with loads of animals, please get in touch.
Families, people with their own (mobile) home, also very welcome ☺️

Accommodation
We can currently offer a small caravan on our land, it has water and heating.
We are also happy to welcome people who can be as self-sufficient as possible on our land with their own travelling vehicle, there is plenty of space!
We offer breakfast, lunch and dinner with the family if required.
What else ...
The property is located near the beautiful village of Monsanto. There are several bathing lakes in the neighbourhood and charming hiking trails.
At the right time of year there are many festivals and markets, smaller and larger events (Boom Festival)
As we live offgrid, a good distance from the main road, mobility is recommend, but of course not nessesary!
Our land is farmed without chemicals (organic). We expect respectful treatment of land, people and animals.
Dogs must be kept on a lead in animal areas.
