The experience

My parents built the house some 25 years ago with a lot of care and love for details. It has a big garden and partly wild property with an old mill on the hillside. My goal is to bring everything into a good condition in order to host guests in several tiny houses and the windmill. My manager Lucas is living on site and we will work together with you as a team doing gardening, maintenance, building, fixing and also cooking, baking and cleaning.

Program Details

My plan is starting on the mill project around October 25 if possible, but there will be other building projects around the tiny houses, a lot of garden tasks to do from pruning pine trees, chopping wood, weeding flower beds and brush cutting.

The main aspect for me is having a good time together and that work is enjoyable for all of us. We also could do sports like Padel Tennis, hiking, swimming, bike riding, volleyball etc.

I appreciate having fellowship while working together and talking about things in life that really matter. My goal is to create some synergy effect with you, as I believe it's important that we fit to each other and that there is a good balance of giving and taking!

Activities & Shift

We will meet in the morning for breakfast and some direction for the day. Usually there is some shopping to be done before midday. We could share the responsibility for preparing meals or cook together. Lunch would be around two. Working hours would be from around nine am to two pm. That's the general schedule I will try to keep, but it depends also on the circumstances and your abilities, etc. Sometimes work could be a bit more spontaneous rather than mapped out, especially if you would work together with me...
