Hi there!
I am Rosa, originally Dutch, and I live on a beautiful ancient wine domaine, built in 1850. The place is situated in a stunningly beautiful area next to the river Orb. There are 2 buildings and approx. 1,1 hectare of land.
*Before buying this place I've lived in my truck and traveled around a lot. Because of an unexpected event I was able to buy this place with my former companion, and the idea was partly to share it with the many friends we've met on the road. Therefore there are often friends over, staying in their trucks or in the house.
We are completely autonomous, we have energy from solar panels and water from a source. No sewage but a small septic tank next to the house.
*As we've always lived very DIY we have general knowledge in many different fields such as building, woodwork, (offgrid-)electricity, plumming, mecanics, etc., some things more then others but we are happy to share :-)
*Last years I've been very busy to set up the eco veggie garden, learning a lot about permaculture.
*The terrain is big and much to maintain, (but since I have my tractor easier and more fun), there is a lot to clip, trim, mow and strim, all the clippings being used for permacultural purposes.
And I usually have little (building-)projects going on , mostly from recycled materials
*My vision is to consume less, recycle everything, create a biodiverse environment and live more in harmony with nature. Open minded and no judgement.
And I definately like a good rave from time to time ;-)
*Oh yeah I have 1 big dog and there are often people with more dogs ;-)

I don't know what to say, it's just a great place to be, with a special vibe, friends come and go, often in their own trucks and we are always busy doing jobs together on the terrain, in the house, renovating the barn into a house, and enjoying life. Living, cooking, working and having good times together with many different people is in our vains, since that's what we've always done and makes us happy.
I'm happy to welcome you into that lifestyle :-)
I'm still learning everyday about building, gardening and maintaining this property and have so many ideas about the possibilities on the terrain. I would like you to join us in this learning proces!
Note: although it can be very sociable and lively here, sometimes I can be boring and just doing the couchpotatoe in front of the tv.. ;-) Therefore it's well appreciated if guests are independent and happy to enjoy themselves sometimes outside working times!

People who like to create things with recycled materials are always welcome and also people who like ecological gardening.
Helping around the house and on the terrain, as long as you're a bit practical and not afraid to get your hands dirty you are welcome to contact me!

My French is getting better but we'd love to perfectionize. Anyway I'd love to speak any language in the world ;-)
Alojamiento
We have a little guestroom next to the house, and one upstairs in the house.
There is a chalet on the terrain, which is a bit primitive but very comfortable and it's nice you can have your own space. A composttoilet outside.
When the caravan isn't rented out people can stay in the caravan
Campers are obviously also welcome, no limit in size ;-)
About food, I can provide food for sure but I can't promise to cook everyday. If I do ofcourse you're welcome to join.
If you like cooking that's also very welcome.
Giving me a list of what you'd like me to buy and then sorting yourself out, can also be an option sometimes.
I think we can figure it out together :-)
Algo más...
We live on a beautiful terrain in the middle of the vineyards, with a great view, on the foot of the Haute Languedoc on the side of the Mediterranean Sea, nearest beach about 25 km. The river is not even 10min. walk. It's a great area where you can swim, climb, hike, kayak, cycle, horseride, etc. You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere but the village is 7 min cycle and has a variety of boulangeries, restaurants and a small supermarket. The nearest city is Beziers, which is about 25km.
