Nature house in St Annaparochie
Friesland, Netherlands
- 4 persons
- 2 bedrooms
- Pets allowed
The little chalet is located on a former horticultural farm. There are berry bushes and fruit trees. Many other trees have also been planted with the aim of creating a food forest to promote biodiversity. The entire property is dog-friendly. There is a bridge on one side and a fence on the other. It is surrounded by ditches, with a canal at the front where you can go stand-up paddleboarding or canoeing. The property is wild and largely unmaintained. The cottage is located at the back of our parents’ property. Our mother is available to answer questions but no longer performs other tasks. It’s very quiet there, with a view over the countryside. You’ll be the only tenant and have the property all to yourself. The cottage is made of wood, and when it rains, you can hear it on the roof. There is central heating, and a portable air conditioner is also available. The cottage was recently renovated using secondhand building materials. The kitchen is also a few years old. Artist’s cottage There is a double bed measuring 200 x 140 and a bunk bed.
Nature and surroundings
The property is located on a dike with a canal in front of it and is completely surrounded by farmland. The property, which is as large as a soccer field, used to be home to a biological greenhouse and gardening company. Now it has been transformed into a food forest using permaculture principles. We’re still working on enriching the soil, and there are still plenty of stinging nettles and tall grass growing there. There are trees all around and lots of birds that wake you up in the morning. There’s parking on the side of the property, and a walkway and a short shell-covered path leading to the cottage. Upon arrival, drive over the bridge and continue straight ahead to the parking area. You’ll see the cottage on your left. The property is located 2 km from the Wadden Sea, near Zwarte Haan, where you can enjoy lovely walks. The grass is rarely, if ever, mowed, so it’s very tall. At the back of the property, you can pick berries when they’re ripe. The biodiversity here is enormous. There’s a pole available for pole vaulting. There’s a hammock. If you want to garden, you’re welcome to—there’s plenty to do.
