In this episode of Kirsten Dirksen, we delve into a rural property that's a true hidden gem. Dating back to the 12th century, this place is steeped in history and charm. From the main house to the worker's quarters, every building tells a story of its farming origins. The property was acquired by the renowned RCR Arquitectes in 2017, showing a deep respect for its heritage.
As we explore the main house, we're greeted by a massive hearth and a traditional wine barrel, transporting us back to a time of rustic simplicity. The property also boasts a unique compost toilet and servant quarters, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the past. The chapel on the grounds, consecrated by the Pope, adds a touch of sacred history to this picturesque setting.
One of the highlights of this property is the transformation of a water mill into living quarters, blending old-world charm with modern comforts. The stone wheel and grain chute are reminders of its industrial past, now repurposed for a tranquil living space. RCR Arquitectes' vision for this place reflects a harmonious relationship between architecture and nature, creating a serene retreat far from the hustle and bustle of city life.
