Vacation home with a garden

This former farmworker’s house is located in the historic center of the mound village of Groothusen. <br>This building can already be seen on the village map from 1870. Several generations of the Janhsen farmworker family lived here as an extended family. Pigs and sheep were also raised here. The garden was used exclusively for growing vegetables. After the passing of Beena, the last resident, it was important to us to acquire this property and continue to use it with respect, in keeping with the Janhsen family’s wishes.<br><br>As part of a local development program, we renovated and expanded the building in 2020 in accordance with the guidelines for rural community development.<br><br>The idyllic, very quiet location, the rooms lovingly furnished with plenty of wood and natural materials, and the traditional farm garden promise a vacation surrounded by greenery.<br><br>All rooms are on the first floor and are wheelchair accessible.
