The Story

A House Built to Last

This house was built by hand, from timber and stone sourced from these same hills. Every carved window and door has a story — some older than the family members who now welcome you.

A Timeline

Generations Under One Roof

Generations Past

The original timber-and-stone structure was raised by hand, using wood and stone sourced from these same hills.

Passed Down

The house has stayed with the same family since — each generation adding care, rarely altering what came before.

Today

Bathrooms and comfort have been quietly added; the original floors, windows and doors remain exactly as they were.

The Family

Keepers of the House, Not Just Its Owners

The family that welcomes you today is the same family this house was built for — the deed has never changed hands outside it. Each generation has been taught, gently but firmly, to change as little as possible: to repair a window frame rather than replace it, to keep a floor that creaks rather than silence it.

Ask any question you like about the house's history over dinner. It is, quite literally, the family's own history, and they are glad to tell it.
