Intimate – private – earthy... most enjoyable

This environment-friendly home is handcrafted exclusively with natural materials and its design enhances the flow of beautiful energy. Cocagne is designed and built by author Petra Vandecasteele and photographer Paul Godard. This intimate home with spectacular views over the area has a relaxed atmosphere and is very private, yet offers all the conveniences of the city right on its doorstep!

The handcrafted built-in furniture combined with the interior’s natural vibrant earth colours are soothing to the soul. The villa is designed and equipped for comfortable living with a fully equipped kitchen, wi-fi throughout the property and a solar-heated swimming pool and jacuzzi.

Living or spending holidays at Cocagne is a wonderful way to spend quality time with your friends and family. Your children will love the overflow swimming pool, the mountain stream, and an entire mountain to explore! If you plan to work from Cocagne, we promise you that few things can beat a lifestyle as glorious as ‘living and working’ at Cocagne!
