The Land & Location

The building will be built on a 5-hectare permaculture farm that sits 700 meters above sea level. The land has been transformed from an abandoned farm into a beautiful permaculture farm in just a few years. The farm is located just 10 minutes from Feldkirchen in Carinthia, on the south side of Wachsenberg in Austria. Wachsenberg is a beautiful village situated in the south of Austria, surrounded by lush green hills and magnificent mountains. The village is known for its picturesque landscape, fresh air, and tranquil ambiance, making it a perfect destination for nature lovers and those seeking some peace and quiet. You will have the opportunity to enjoy some traditional cuisine, marvel at the breathtaking landscapes, and immerse yourself in the historic towns and traditional architecture.
