This is us
Emma & Markus
Our names are Emma and Markus Rosenbaum. We are a very international couple and met one summer in Chamonix, France.
Markus is German and lived 18 years in Australia, then spent the last 12 years in Chamonix, France. Markus owned several restaurants in Australia. He is a creative, qualified chef with enormous experience and multiple talents. The experience in renovating properties that he acquired over the years led him into running his own professional renovation business in France. This know-how enabled us to buy and plan the improvements for Eneby Gård!
Emma now works with interior homeware and has a very long work history in the fashion industry and marketing.
Markus does not like to leave the farm and can be met all year round wearing his work clothes.
- We talk fluently German, English, French and Swedish
Our story
An old rectory in the Sörmland countryside
Eneby Gård is an ancient priest’s farm. Our main building – where we live – is from 1762, with an entry gate house from 1733. The workers’ cottage, where the rental apartments are located, is from 1939. This building housed the farm workers who looked after the fields, gardens and animals.

Life on the farm
Chickens, cats and a dog
We live permanently at Eneby Gård with our dog, cats and chickens. Everyone who has ever visited Eneby has expressed the wish to come back soon.
Our chickens are Gotländska country chickens, a pure breed that traces back to the Vikings. They run around free all year and give us plenty of ecological, powder pink eggs.
If you live in the countryside on a large farm, you have to have cats. They are lovely little beasts which keep all rodents under control. Their names are Kajsa and Nikita and they work hard to keep our property perfectly clean! Although they are half-sisters, they don’t necessarily love each other, and you may occasionally hear and see them fighting and chasing each other.
We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you one day to the beautiful Sörmland nature.
Welcome to our own little paradise – Emma & Markus
