History, Community, Generations

Description

Looking for a Project that tells a story, thrives community, and connects generations. A historic farmstead with a long past, and a family willing to take on the challenge of carrying that story forward.
Facing the street stands the classic farmhouse dating from 1760, with a finely detailed entrance door, restored sandstone surrounds, an arched gateway, and small stable windows. Attached to it is a Baakes (bakehouse), carefully and lovingly restored.
Opposite, on the courtyard side, there is another residential building from around 1760, which was expanded between 1922 and 1927 and converted into a distillery.
