From the agent: "The house was originally built as a holiday home in 1958, and has since been thoroughly transformed, rebuilt, and extended in 2018. An elegant and gifted architectural style allows the house to orientate itself unhindered toward the beautiful meadows with the water and woodland beyond. This retreat would be ideal for the nature-loving couple or family who dream of living in the middle of a soundscape of wild game, wild pheasants, and hundreds of other birds’ loud appreciation of their surroundings."

The home’s wood-clad facade blends into the forested site.
