Description
Dear friends,
We are Sophie and Roumi, and together with our three children, now young adults, we have chosen to live together. Today, we are looking for a warm and welcoming place that can accommodate our family, our children, and our future grandchildren.
We are committed to living independently: whether it's grinding our own flour, baking our own bread, growing vegetables, raising chickens and sheep, doing mechanical work, chopping wood, or even knitting. We love a simple life, and family support is our strength.
Our professional activities are also a family adventure, divided into three areas:
• Milling ancient organic flours.
• Renovating houses.
• Selling eco-friendly materials.
We will be in Romania for the fifth time from March 31 to April 15 to visit isolated semi-mountain homes with a view to purchasing one and discovering life there. We would be delighted to talk with you, learn more about your region, and share some time together.
If you know of a detached house that is for sale or due to come onto the market soon, we would be very grateful for your advice.
Thank you very much for your help and valuable advice.
We look forward to meeting you!

Chers amis,
Nous sommes Sophie et Roumi, et avec nos trois enfants désormais jeunes adultes, nous avons choisi de vivre ensemble. Aujourd'hui, nous sommes à la recherche d'un lieu chaleureux qui puisse accueillir à la fois notre famille, nos enfants et nos futurs petits-enfants.
Nous avons à cœur de vivre de manière autonome : que ce soit en moulant notre propre farine, en fabriquant notre pain, en cultivant des potagers, en élevant des poules et des moutons, en pratiquant la mécanique, le bûcheronnage ou même en tricotant. Nous aimons une vie simple et l’entraide familiale est notre force.
Nos activités professionnelles sont aussi une aventure familiale, réparties en trois domaines :
• La mouture de farines biologiques anciennes.
• La rénovation de maisons.
• La vente de matériaux écologiques.
Nous serons pour la cinquième fois en Roumanie du 31 mars au 15 avril pour visiter des maisons isolées en semi-montagne en vue d’un achat et découvrir la vie sur place. Nous serions ravis de pouvoir échanger avec vous, apprendre à mieux connaître votre région et partager un moment ensemble.
Si vous avez connaissance d’une maison isolée, à vendre ou bientôt mise en vente, nous serions très reconnaissants de recevoir vos conseils.
Merci beaucoup pour votre aide et vos précieux conseils.
Au plaisir de vous rencontrer !

I really enjoyed their project. They have a small farm with animals as well as several vegetable garden areas. There is always something to do, whether independently or as part of a group, in the morning, in the afternoon, or a mix of both.
