The layout comprises a kitchen and dining room with a thermo-fireplace, a living room, a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a guest WC.

Technical Facilities The farmhouse underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2005, during which ventilated foundations were introduced and the roof was insulated in accordance with the construction standards of the period. The equestrian stable was added in 2010, while a 16.1 kW photovoltaic system was installed on its roof in 2011, contributing to the property’s energy efficiency. Heating is provided by a centralised gas boiler, serving the entire estate.

Four fireplaces are distributed throughout the guest and private accommodation, complemented by a traditional stove in one of the guest apartments.
