Surrounded by apple blossoms, gravel crunches underfoot as we reach lentrance of an ancient country house. The lichen-covered stone steps invite you to climb up and enter through the wide open red double doors.
Nordic Homestead transports readers to a place where a piece of land is a piece of paradise. All ten families featured in the book have moved to the countryside, where there is plenty of room to breathe. They all share the desire to be surrounded by nature and see the world with new eyes, leaving monotony behind, dedicating more time to family and embracing peace and tranquility.
The book will take you on a journey through the houses of the Finnish countryside, where abandoned log houses, old farmhouses, manor houses and former village schools with creaking floorboards, cozy fireplaces, time-worn brick walls and other splendid original features await their new faithful owners.
Authors Riina Ahtola and Kati Pilli-Sihvola share llove for country life and for old houses, which are not only beautiful, but also have enchanting stories to tell.
