This place immediately felt special to us. The renovation had beautifully brought together its original character and the comfort of today. Since then, we have shared so many lovely moments here, and this special place became our home.

The concrete staircase connects not only the floors, but also the past and the present. We still find it just as beautiful every day.

Outside, too, we completely unwind. A dip in the swimming pond on a warm summer’s day, lingering over a meal beneath the covered terrace or simply walking through the garden, looking out over the meadow and the landscape beyond. The space and greenery give us a wonderful sense of freedom here.

But it is above all the moments together that make this house so dear to us. The fire gently crackling, a cheeseboard on the table, a good glass of wine and conversations lasting late into the evening. Outside, darkness falls; inside, we stay a little longer. Here, we sometimes lose track of time.
