Description
I live on my own in a large traditional country house which was built in 1904 as a remote train station to connect the village with the next town. The railroad was already removed in 1930 but the house was converted into a farm and guesthouse. The place is located in 1 km distance to the nearest village (500 inhabitants). The village "Otersen" has been portrayed by German TV as the "Paradise at the (river) Aller".
Currently we are living with two lovely workawayers from Hungary and Germany. There are always new projects we are excited about such as building a pig barn, a chicken house or an outdoor-kitchen.
