Our New European Project Property
After one whole year of searching, we have found the new home for our expansion into Europe: a 240 year old mill barn in the Rheinland-Pfalz region of Germany!
Built in 1780 out of the local sandstone, this building has been standing since the American Revolution. The building next to it (not in this photo) is the actual Mill from the same year and is home to our elderly neighbors, who were born there. The creek that powered the mill for over 200 years still runs along the edge of the property and along the access road, which is a bike and hike greenway.
We are 2 miles from the border with the Alsass-Lorraine region of France, a 3 hour bullet train to Paris, 4 hour drive to Munich, 5 hour drive to the Alps, and a 2 hour drive to Luxembourg. Gorgeous sandstone "chimneys" and caverns dot this wine region, connected by hundreds of miles of greenways and hiking paths, a paradise for hikers, bikers, and equestrian riders. The local towns sport some of the oldest half-timbered buildings untouched by war.
In a few month, we will start accepting guests to our fully furnished and equipped guest apartment, with 2 bedrooms, a cathedral half-timbered living room, eat-in kitchen, free access to fresh fruit and veggies from the gardens and orchard, a pool/natural swimming pond and optional use of our eBikes.
Of course, the property will be developed as another massive regenerative landscaping project that will serve as the basis for community-self-sufficiency, water conservation management and security, and native ecological diversification.
Stay tuned for updates and be sure to sign up for the newsletter at the bottom of this page. I am excited to finally be able to continue this work and become a basecamp for my American community to explore all that Europe has to offer!
