    Description

    Hey dear friends,

    we are Till and Tzegha and our two sons Luam (9) and Amit (8). We have been living on Sardinia for more than two years and decided to go one step further now in our vision and start building our own off-grid homestead and hopefully the first stone of a thriving local community.

    We have recently moved to a beautiful piece of land in the north-east of Sardinia, which we want to transform into a permaculture place in the coming years. We also wish to become one of the first homesteads of a growing local network of international people and families to build a loose local community here in the mountains of northern Sardinia, in the region called Gallura. We are surrounded by beautiful old cork forests and bizarre granit rock formations. It is a silent and still very natural area, yet not far to beautiful beaches and nice cities like Tempio Pausania and Olbia

    Currently we are in the process of building a small adobe house. We are also just about to finish an outdoor kitchen. So in the next time we can use some helping hands. If any of you have the time and desire to help us on the construction site, cooking or otherwise, please feel free to contact us.

    We have different options to host you. There is a caravan, a tent plus of course, you can bring your own camper or tent on our land. Please note that we are still in the very beginning of our project, thus the existing infrastructure is still very basic.

    Many kind regards and maybe see you soon!

    For now it is better to come in a camper. Our place is still very basic and we are in the phase of setting up an infrastucture that is off grid.
    If you are comfortable to sleep in a caravan: that is also possible, we can provide you with a caravan and bedding.
