Vanessa

English, German, French, Dutch

We are Vanessa and Marco—and Hof am Berg is the project close to our hearts. Marco grew up in this region, surrounded by the mountains, steep slopes, farm work, and nature right on his doorstep. I, Vanessa, come from northern Germany—bringing with me a breath of fresh air, wide horizons, and that characteristic northern German straightforwardness. Our two children are now growing up right between these two worlds: with a broad perspective—both geographically and in their thinking—and firmly rooted in the earth. After we met, we quickly realized that we wanted to create something of our own. Our first joint project was an alpine pasture, which we managed with great dedication for five years. Now we’re taking the next step: in 2024, we bought this old farm on the Kaunerberg. Since then, we’ve been pouring our energy, our hearts, and our hands into its restoration. Here, we’re creating two vacation apartments, a small farm with animals and mountain meadows—and a place that’s allowed to evolve. At our own pace, entirely in our own style.
