The Farm is a charming traditional Kumaoni house adapted for modern living with a bedroom, living room kitchen, and a bath with a central courtyard that is the heart of the cottage ..Nestled amidst terraced slopes and clear skies; it retains some of the core features such as low sloping roofs with skylight cut-outs , mud n slaked lime walls, cow dung, and mud-plastered floors and an angithi in each room. The house is made from chiseled granite, mud plaster, local wood, and balli / takhtas salvaged from the old house that has stood the test of time since 1943.
Important: It is a 15-minute walk from the main house and a 10-minute walk from the oak cottage.
The walls and floor are washed n tamped with mud plaster and cow dung. It keeps the place cool in summers and warm in winters and also keeps insects at bay. There is a charming fireplace in each room and a 360-degree view of mountains n forests from all sides
This house is for those who derive pleasure from being amidst pure nature, natural materials, and the hands of local masons n carpenters. This is the aesthetic of real India and functions beautifully for many a man n woman
We hope to bring to you all a part of their life n living and if there is anyone out there wanting to shed excessive trappings and be one with earth n mud n stone n wood; this is where your feet should take you.
