A few words as an introduction

Why Louňovice, and Why a Log Home

I first came to Louňovice back in 2000, on a friend's recommendation. A few walks around the area were all it took - I knew right away this was where I wanted to live. So, I bought a plot of land.

I've always felt a strong connection to nature, and during a trip to the mountains, I completely fell in love with the local log houses. That was the second big moment of clarity - it had to be a log home.

And so it is. We finished construction and officially moved in back in 2007. The first three years were a bit of an adventure, as the wood settled and dried - but after that, the house found its balance, and it's been exactly what I imagined ever since.

Just like the house, I've drawn inspiration from permaculture principles in the garden - letting nature do its thing, without too much interference.

I had a hole dug for a natural pond/small lake. It hasn't been built yet, but one day it'll be amazing.

The soil from the pond became a small berm, now covered with wild roses and blackthorns, forming a natural hedge.

If you're curious and want to know more, I'd be happy to chat or show you some photos - from when it was just a wheat field, through the building process, to how life in the log home has unfolded over the years.
