Why they chose this property

We just love the country side, the nature, wild life, the beautiful stars at night, neighbors are so friendly and the small towns around us are a dream, with hidden gems that we never finish discovering.

What makes this property unique

At our serene retreat, you’ll find the perfect escape to rest and recharge. Immerse yourself in nature, breathe in the fresh air, unwind in the hammock under the cool shade of trees, and let birdsong be your soundtrack. Gather with loved ones for a meal or barbecue on the spacious deck, enveloped by greenery and open skies. As night falls, switch on the string lights for a warm, inviting glow, and gather around the fire pit to relax under a canopy of stars. It’s an experience that soothes the soul.
