See the video of the house and land here: https://youtu.be/I3I1YSCAx58 and stay in a unique place were modern meets heritage. In the renovation project we made all efforts to promote a sustainable lifestyle: granite for walls came from the property, we chose native plants, the water comes from a well in the ground and almost all energy needed is generated from the sun.
In 2024, we have completed a new road from the other side of the hill that allow easier access to windmill by car. The access is still steep when compared to a normal road but now all cars can make it to the top. You can park your car by the entrance of the windmill on the top of the mountain - please check the aerial photos to see the new road - the new road is not shown in the video and If you need more information please contact.
