Feel welcome in the Frisian countryside. Until 1979, this little farm was still in use as a cattle farm, then it was sold off. However, the Visser family continued to live in the house. After spending 15 years elsewhere I now live, together with my husband, in the parental home again and we would like to share it with other peace seekers. The neighbors live miles away and the house is on a canal at a dead end, so no traffic except cyclists and pedestrians. In part of the barn is a cottage for guests, including a small kitchenette in the sitting room and a luxury bathroom with sauna and bathtub. There are 2 bedrooms. In hot summers the cottage is nice and cool (north-east side of the house). The cottage has its own entrance. In the yard live 2 cats and 5 chickens. Hence, pets are difficult to bring. Bath and bed linens are provided in the cottage. Do not come by for TV or internet, both are available, but the quality is variable.
Nature and surroundings
There are numerous beautiful cycling routes to enjoy the beautiful Frisian nature, culture lovers can for example go to Dokkum (8 km) or Leeuwarden (25km). The farm is located on the 'Petsleat', a canal that connects the Bergumermeer with the Lauwersmeer. There are therefore wonderful canoe or boat trips to be made. A boat ramp is located 400 meters from the house. You can then for example go to the Otto Wiersema Reserve, a particularly beautiful and peaceful nature reserve. Furthermore, Ameland and Schiermonnikoog are nice destinations for a day out. But fishing or relaxing in and around the cottage is also possible. The nature house has access to a private garden. In the backyard of the farm we are working on a mini-food forest: as much diversity as possible for healthy soil and food for people and animals. By now there are over 60 different food trees, shrubs and plants in our garden, in the coming years this will be further expanded.
