    Description

    Hello,

    Let me start with a small but important clarification:

    The farm is not in Antalya.

    It is located in a quiet, peaceful village in Ermenek, Karaman — a place where silence still has a voice.

    I am a divorced man living a simple, grounded life on 10 acres of land, closely connected to nature.

    My house overlooks a calm lake, surrounded by pine trees, olive groves, vineyards, and fields of lavender. Waking up to birdsong here is not a luxury — it’s daily life.

    There is a main house and a small, charming guesthouse on the property. Life here flows gently alongside cats, dogs, and poultry. Animals are not decoration; they are part of the rhythm of this place.

    Internet access is available via mobile phone. Construction and gardening are ongoing — there are seeds to plant, trees to grow, animals to care for, and flowers that need attention. This is not a “finished” place, but a living one, shaped by shared effort.

    There is plenty of space for drying fruit, making jam, pickles, tomato paste, vinegar, and even experimenting with wine. It’s a place for slowing down, producing with your hands, and respecting natural time.

    I have a deep passion for social history, culture, and archaeology.

    I especially enjoy sharing conversations with people who love history and who are interested in archaeological walks and explorations in the surrounding region.

    Anyone dreaming of a life close to soil, plants, and quietness should also be ready to accept the realities of rural living.

    This is not a holiday destination.
    It is a way of life — and for many, a therapeutic space.

    There are also long-term living opportunities for those who want to realize agricultural production projects and leave the city.

    Three meals a day are provided.

    I warmly welcome people who are genuinely interested in staying longer and truly being part of this place.

    This is a calm, patient, long-lasting place; a new living space; not very suitable for a short visit.

    Workawayers are welcome to come with their own tent or caravan if they wish.
    There are suitable areas available for tents and caravans.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We speak Turkish , French and Russian enough

    This is not an employer–worker or tourist–host relationship, but a shared way of daily living. A Workawayer becomes part of the house, the land, and everyday routines. Cultural exchange happens naturally through cooking and eating together, caring for the garden and animals, simple construction tasks, seasonal food production, and village life. I value openness and mutual respect, and I enjoy learning from people from different cultures as much as sharing my own experience. This Workaway is not just work for food and accommodation, but a genuine exchange and a shared way of life.
