Description
We live on a beautiful piece of land where we dedicate ourselves to maintaining the buildings, the property, and pursuing self-sufficiency. Our home is a historic 15th-century water mill, nestled beside a small river and surrounded by 14 acres of forest. You'll find a wood-fired sauna, a swimming spot, and much more to discover. Come and see for yourself! :-)
At the moment, we are a shared living community of five adults and a young family.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As we are currently 7.5 people, everyone has different experiences and skills to share. We arrived at our new home 3 years ago and you can watch and help our project grow and develop.
For the right people, most of the jobs can be a lot of fun and our property is extremly beautiful. We just need enough people to enjoy it and give a hand, otherwise it's becoming overwhelming.
Help
We are currently renovating one large building and could use some help with various tasks. And then there is a lot of outdoor work to be done:
- Cutting, splitting and bringing firewood from the forest
- Vegetable garden
- Food preservation
- Lawn mowing (ride-on)
- Painting wooden windows
......
We are very flexible and will talk about what suits best: If you like to be a lot by yourself, that's fine, we'll find suitable jobs. Otherwise we'll work together on the different projects.

Accommodation
We have different options: There is a flat above our workshop. It's simple but cozy and you'll have your own space, kitchen and there is a bathroom downstairs in the workshop. Camping in a van or tent is also possible, the property offers a thousand and more beautiful spots.
Food: Our idea is, that you'll get any food you want for your own kitchen. Either you go shopping and we give you the money or you give us a list and we buy it. You usually prepare your own meals but we can plan common meals, whenever both sides are interested. This can be every day or once in a week.
