Fusenhof is located in the middle of the Black Forest on a farm meadow of over 3,500 square meters, surrounded by meadows, fruit trees and the wooded valleys of the surrounding area.
From every window, the view opens directly onto the greenery: across to the Zastler Valley, to the Kandel mountain, or over the meadows surrounding the farm. Anyone arriving here quickly realizes that this place is more than just an ordinary holiday home. The Fusenhof is a piece of Black Forest history that has grown over many centuries and has now been made accessible again.
A Black Forest farmhouse was never intended as a prestigious building. It was a place of work and life for farming families, a thoughtfully designed utilitarian structure meant to ensure their survival. Proximity to water, sufficient timber, and sunny pastures for livestock were crucial. This original function still shapes the character of the house today. The Fusenhof was not transformed into a modern luxury property, but rather renovated with respect for its history. The furnishings are deliberately simple, high-quality, and individually crafted, reflecting the clarity and tranquility of a traditional farmhouse.
What makes this place special is the interplay between the old building fabric and modern design. The nearly 260-year-old doors, the wide white fir floorboards, the wood with its unique feel and scent, the winding rooms, and the gentle creaking of the house all speak of times gone by. In winter, the crackling of the stove adds to the atmosphere, making it clear that this farmstead has not only been restored but continues to live on.
The renovation of this special place was a major project. The roof alone covers almost 1,000 square meters. The desire to preserve a piece of cultural heritage and share it with others was central to the undertaking. Today, the Fusenhof offers ample space for retreat, exploration, and arrival. It is a place that cannot be grasped in just a few hours, but rather tells a new story with every detail.

The renovation of the Fusenhof was a task that demanded considerable time, experience, and sensitivity. With a historic timber-framed building like this, every alteration also represents an intervention in the original structure and therefore had to be carefully planned and implemented with respect for the farm's history. Almost five years passed from purchase to completion, during which continuous work was carried out on preservation and careful restoration. Only regional craft businesses were involved in the project.
The farmstead was not only renovated in accordance with its listed building status, but also with energy efficiency in mind, achieving approximately the KfW-70 standard. Instead of new construction, the existing building structure was preserved and modernized for the future. The farm is heated with pellets, and energy-efficient LED lighting keeps electricity consumption low and covers it with green electricity. Waste is separated, and water from the farm's own well is used to irrigate the garden. The grounds are also maintained in a natural way: the orchard is preserved and regularly supplemented with new trees. For the owners, the protection and development of natural areas and forests are part of a responsible approach to the environment. Forests and old-growth trees play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and sequestering CO₂. Thus, the Fusenhof combines the preservation of historic buildings with a long-term perspective on the environment and climate.
