    Description

    We live on a beautiful estate and still have a lot to do, both inside and out. My husband is a director and mime teacher, and I am an opera singer. We have a little girl born in June 2022 in Berlin, where we lived for seven years. We have several projects planned for the estate through our non-profit organization, SETA, and need help to bring our social and cultural projects to fruition, while being as environmentally friendly as possible. This place has belonged to our family since 1978; my parents invested a great deal in it. It's very large, surrounded by beautiful, unspoiled nature. We do almost everything ourselves and sometimes miss the positive energy of teamwork, which is so energizing and refreshing! We would be delighted to share this magical place, which truly only comes alive when shared.

    Nous vivons sur un très beau domaine et avons encore beaucoup de choses à mettre en place tant à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur.
    Mon mari est metteur en scène, professeur de mime , et moi-même suis chanteuse lyrique. Nous avons une petite fille née en juin 2022 à Berlin, où nous avons vécu 7 ans.
    Nous avons de multiples projets sur le domaine à travers une association 1901 la SETA, et avons besoin d'aide pour pouvoir faire aboutir nos projets à vocation sociale et culturelle, et dans une dynamique la plus écologique possible.
    Ce lieu appartient à notre famille depuis 1978 , mes parents y ont beaucoup investi. C'est très grand, en pleine nature très belle et préservée. Nous faisons presque tout nous-mêmes, et manquons parfois de la belle et bonne énergie du travail de groupe qui dynamise et rafraîchit le courage !
    Nous serions ravis de partager ce lieu magique, qui n'a d'ailleurs de sens qu'à plusieurs.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    It's a beautiful region to explore, but you'll need a vehicle to be independent. We can do some things together, but we obviously can't promise anything given our availability. Without a vehicle, you can still set off directly from the house for long hikes through stunning scenery.


    c'est une très belle région à découvrir, il faut néanmoins obligatoirement un véhicule pour être autonome.
    Nous pouvons aller ensemble faire des choses mais ne pouvons évidemment rien promettre selon nos contraintes. Sans véhicule, on peut partir directement de la maison pour faire des grandes randonnées dans de très beaux paysages.
