The original farmstead dates to 1763 – a modest cluster of stone buildings in the Vallée de Barétous. A house, a small stable, a well with a fountain. Functional, rooted, built to last.

Through the 19th century, the farm grew in stages – a barn of 300 m², a henhouse, a pig stable, and the farmhouse extended to its current footprint. By the late 20th century, a large cow stable had been added. The land was working land, and it looked like it.

Farm activities wound down at the turn of the 21st century. The complex changed hands and was converted into a modest tourist space – studios, cottages, a pool. A beginning of sorts, but not yet the place it was capable of becoming.

In 2021 Angelika and Jens Eric Büttner bought the domaine. What followed was three years of serious work – stripping back, rebuilding, replanting, reimagining – before the first guest arrived.  The gardens were redesigned from the ground up. The barn became the suites. The event spaces were created. The gym was added. The terraces were rebuilt entirely.

The result is what you find today. Three centuries of accumulated history, and a place that finally looks like itself.
