When we found this house, we instinctively knew it would be our home. At the first viewing in July 2025, we already felt a sense of calm in this place, and our hearts said: Yes, this is the place we want to go for. Three eagles overhead in July, and fresh wolf tracks in the snow in November. After our offer was accepted in September, it took a long time for the permit for permanent residence to be issued. In November 2025, we finally received that relief: the green light to purchase the house and hire a contractor for the renovation. That was, until we visited the house with the contractor and discovered the moisture problem. The proposed solution meant the renovation would require twice as much money as we had available. Our dream shattered. Our destination, which Aad had dreamed of as a child and Jeanette since she was 19, unattainable? Withdrawing or looking for another house isn't really an option, because we'd lose the down payment and have to pay the real estate agent fees again, making the chances of finding another suitable house within our budget very slim. And in all our searches (both online and locally), we haven't found a place as special as this one! Unfortunately, taking out a loan isn't possible, as neither of us will have a paid job anymore in April. So why not offer our future services now already, delight people with a unique experience, and with your down payments, be able to fully embark on this dream project?
