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.

Why We're Selling It Ourselves

We've tried selling through a real estate agency before — and I think it was even a good one.

But the thing with agencies is always the same: "make wow photos, polish everything so the buyer comes in impressed."

And then, when they notice the flaws in person, "talk them out of it."

My approach is different. From the start, I want to be upfront: this is a house we've lived in for 18 years.

In my opinion, it's a beautiful, spacious home in a great location.

But it doesn't always look like it does in those "perfect" photos after professional staging and lighting.

When you come to see it, you'll find a house full of life — toys scattered around, an attic packed with boxes of clothes, dishes in the kitchen… just a normal household and a home where people, dogs, and cats live.
