My husband & I are passionate about beautiful buildings and therefore could not leave this property to its own devices. We have renovated the Oil Warehouse down to the last detail. It has become a beautiful home that exudes warmth and coziness. We would like to let a lot of people enjoy this, surrounded by friends or family and the beautiful nature.
