    Description

    Are you looking for a chance to experience the Flanders nature? We are living in the middle of the forest near Leopoldsburg, Belgium.. loads of trees, fields and a creek. We try to live a homestead type of life. Loads of plants, fruit trees and a vegetable garden. We can always use help :)

    We have built several options to relax like a sauna (woodfire), hottub (woodfire), an ecological swimmingpond and a large fireplace in the garden.

    We would love to get to know more people and share our beautiful spot.

    Who are we?

    My partner Debby and i are living here with our two kids Roan (5) and Koda (2) our chickens, ducks and cats. We created a large hugelbed (permaculture) which we will use for the third season now. Also there is a small greenhouse.

    Now and then we receive guests for camping.
