Sustainability

The sustainable and climate-friendly use of nature and all resources is very important to us. This is why we relied entirely on renewable energy when renovating the old mill. We are also particularly committed to protecting our small patch of Irish nature.

Solar system

We produce our own electricity using a small photovoltaic system on the pastures above the property. Of course, there is also an external power supply with a green electricity contract in case our own production is insufficient.

Heat pump

Heating and hot water are supplied by a heat pump. In combination with the solar system, we can save a lot of CO2.

Sustainable Renovation

Thanks to the visually unobtrusive yet technically advanced insulation and new, original-style windows, we were able to upgrade this old gem to the highest energy efficiency class, A1.

Electric mobility

A Type 2 wall box (including cable) is available on request.


Water supply

We obtain our water from our own well. We have the water quality tested once a year by a certified institute. So far, all values have always been impeccable. The water quality is better than that of the municipal tap water. The kitchen is also equipped with a water filter jug.
