Type of cohouse
Private unit with shared faciities (4 slaapkamers)
Common parts
This farmhouse with barns belonging to my grandparents has a long history and can be found on the Ferraris maps. It is a very charming, modest property situated amidst a large protected nature reserve on a meander of the Leie/Latem river. DE NAUWE POORT STANDS FOR SELF-DEVELOPMENT: -living with the garden and the seasons: this is a place for vegetables, fruit, and animals, as well as a place to find peace. -free accommodation in exchange for services. This means helping for 2 hours a day, preferably between 8 and 11: odd jobs and chores (building a clay stove) working in the garden and vegetable patch organizing and cleaning Cooking and grocery shopping are not included in the job description and are done autonomously. If the hours worked are more or less than the requested 2 hours, we will charge for this. Canceling appointments without a valid reason and/or drug use are grounds for implementing a time-out, and recidivism will result in the full termination of the agreement. -Focus: We meet 15 minutes before the start to discuss the task; mobile phones go into the locker during work; we clean up 15 minutes before the end. -Daily structure: 2 hours/day, 5 days/week. -Rest: Saturday and Sunday are rest days. -Mutual consultation: Sunday evening around 7 pm. -The place is inspired by the Sermon on the Mount, the Essene Community, and the books of Anastasia (Vladimir Megre). WHAT IS AVAILABLE? All rooms have natural light and a view of greenery/the Leie river. Downstairs in the house are the communal living space, bathroom, kitchen, and cool storage room. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms and 1 library. There is space in the garage for 1 tiny house or camper. Additionally, there is a vegetable garden with fruit trees and chickens, a terrace, lawn, parking space, shed, nursery, and studio. The goal of this project is to live off-grid as much as possible and to renovate the farmhouse as authentically as possible. The construction of a clay stove is currently underway. 0472701043 tel/WhatsApp, alittlefarminbelgium@gmail.com Registering your domicile is not possible, but receiving mail is.
