Rural "inn" cottage with large garden looking for 2 additional residents
Type of cohouse
Shared home
Common parts
This is a caretaker's house (rental) on a former farmstead. There are four house numbers on the farmstead, and we share an entrance garden; each house number is a separate house with a garden. I'm looking for new housemates for my house. I recently had some WorkAway volunteers over, and they were very pleasant. So I'm looking for more permanent residents. The front garden has a shaded terrace, entrance hall, living room with a fireplace, kitchen, and small bathroom. On the first floor, there's a laundry room (washing machine and dryer), a "quiet living room" (also called a library or office). And one large room with three (separate) single beds. At the back, there's a large garden with a garden shed and bicycle storage, and a large meadow with an open view that connects to the garden. There's a vegetable garden in the works, and space for chickens, pasture animals, and WTMG or Airbnb glamping. I also call it homesteading and see the house as its own entity with its own rhythm to which we all contribute. The "hostel" aspect is indeed that everyone sleeps together in one room. I also want to coordinate everyone's sleep patterns and am looking for people who agree with this, so that there is a real moment of rest between 10 PM and 6 AM. I am a single woman of 42 and am looking for other like-minded people. I would like to clarify that I am absolutely not looking for romance, but rather for housemates who want to actively and equally contribute to the house and to a pleasant, communal atmosphere. Household chores are also shared. With everyone's consent, a WorkAway volunteer can also be placed in the house to help out with tasks where needed. This way, we also bring the world and travelers into our home, which is very pleasant. I also love the outdoors and enjoy walking with my two Border Collies, who also live here. During my travels, I really enjoyed living in a different way and was a fan of the mountain huts and monk retreats. The layout of the house offers ample space for quiet and privacy, but everyone doesn't have their own room; there's a shared dormitory. This does require respect, clear agreements, and generosity from the residents, who want to give everyone their own space and peace. Remote or home working is also possible. The office/library can also become a coworking space where concentration and focus meet a homely atmosphere.
