Living where we work

Over 850 years of farm history in the Antholz Valley

Hauserhof in Oberrasen was first mentioned in documents around 1160 as the “Maierhof zu Haus”. At that time the knight Ulrich von Rasen donated the farm to Neustift Abbey. People have lived and worked here ever since. Today we run Hauserhof as a dairy farm and rent out three holiday apartments.

The historic farmhouse dates from the 17th century: the three-sided bay window on the south side carries a wrought-iron grille and the year 1665. The building once housed the village school and, for a time, a prison.

Cows & calves

Our dairy cows and their calves are the main residents of the farm. In the morning you hear the first moo from the barn.

Hens

Our hens have their own home on the farm. Every now and then a hen takes a curious stroll across the farmyard.

Cats

Our cats roam around the farm. Sometimes exploring, sometimes lazing in a sunny spot.

Our animals are not a petting zoo. Please give them space; do not feed or touch them without asking.

A farm carried by the family

From 1760 the farm was owned by the Meßner family for many generations. Through the marriage of the heiress it passed to the Wierer family, who still run it today. In 1950 Anton Wierer took over the farm, later his son Sebastian with his wife Martina.

Since December 2023 Manuel has run Hauserhof. He lives in the historic farmhouse with his wife Lisa, their two children and his parents. His parents help on the farm and are an important support. And if needed, his brothers Fabian and Michael lend a hand as well.

The three holiday apartments are in the separate annex, our guests’ place of retreat. Lisa and Martina are happy to look after your stay.
