Uckermark Farmhouse

Many of us city-dwelling folk often dream of finding an escape in the countryside, somewhere we can create a vegetable garden, where we can expose wooden beams but add modern decor, and where we can drink our morning coffee with views of the fields. While many of us dream of this, Andreas and Gary - former Berlin residents - have actually made this a reality. And luckily for us, they have renovated a number of the former farm buildings and turned them into holiday apartments so that us dreamers can enjoy a snippet of this life.

You’ll find this escape nestled in an idyllic village in northern Brandenburg, complete with an organic farm shop and cafe and plenty of glacial lakes a short bike ride away.

Andreas and Gary have truly created a home from home, and ensured the spaces are kitted out with everything you might need - including high-speed internet, should you opt to work from here for a while. The house, which sleeps up to 6, has a gorgeous open-plan kitchen and living area, while the apartment for 2 is cosy and painted with rustic colours. The garden, with its herb bed, is beautiful, and summer nights should be spent on the terrace looking out for stars and listening for owls.
