The sacristan's house (Mëune) beneath Saint Jacob's chapel is an impressive detached farmhouse dating back to 1453, in its original form and still owned by the church. The stonewalled living quarters with a cellar and two upper floors are housed in the easter part of the house, while the barn and 'palancin' balcony run around the west side. The supporting beam of the barn door features two painted black snakes facing each other as symbol of the various transformatory processes occurring throughout the year.

The small farmhouse with late-gothic plastering and red quoins goes back to the 14th/15th century. Brothers Christian, Bartholomäus, Dominik and Anton Trebinger are called after their birthplace, Trëbe. They made their name in the 17th century with works for churches in South Tyrol and as pioneers of training sculptors and altar building. There is still a sculpture workshop on the ground floor of Trëbe today.

The origin twin farmhouse goes back to 1249 according to dendrochronological investigations. The core section has a walled base, cellar access in the east and an overhanging wooden upper floor, called 'piguel' in Val Gardena. The listed building is divided down the middle according to the roof ridge line and has been uninhabited for a while but is still run as a farm. The western half of the building was bought by Ortisei council as an example of architecturally interesting heritage.

This detached farmhouse built in 1606/08 was renovated and granted listed status in 1985, and is now a restaurant. The feeding station made of logs takes up more of the façade than the walled living quarters. The attractive larch shingle roof was renewed and edged with wooden boards in accordance with Ladin tradition (so-called Ladin roof).

Detached farmhouses are rare in Val Gardena and are usually more recent structures. Costamula Dessëura was built around 1686/87 at the latest. The living quarters and farm buildings are separated from each other by a wall and each has a separate entrance. The building is made of logs with a kitchen on the side of the mountain slope, a 'palancin' overhanging floor (piguel in Ladin) and a built-in oven on the north facade. The barn area was converted into living quarters in the 20th century.

A twin farmhouse, first mentioned in records in 1406, with fully stonewalled, immaculately renovated living quarters divided along the roof ridge line corresponding with ownership. There are two original barns for each part of the farmhouse built as log structures over a walled base and preserved with the characteristic 'palancin' balcony used for maturing grain running around the building. The western barn is older and its core originates from 1428/30.

Janon, once a twin farmhouse, but just a residential building today, was first mentioned in records in 1430. The remnants of the red quoins, red window framing and the year 1585 written on the façade are noteworthy. There is a relief with scissors and needle chiselled above the other symbols on the keystone of the pretty arched doorway, perhaps pointing to a family of tailors once working here. The building has had listed status since the 1950s. The western half of the building is uninhabited.

Fëur is one of the highest-lying farms in Val Gardena. The building with listed status was originally a twin farmhouse and is nowadays used as a mountain pasture hut. The original preserved 15th-century gable roof-shaped parlour ceiling is one of the oldest parlours in the Tyrol area. The house and its parlour were a popular motif for the painter Josel Moroder Lusenberg, who used them mainly in his light and colour studies.

This twin farmhouse's mother farm was first mentioned in records in the 15th century. The wooden farm building situated on top of the cellar dates back to the 16th century. The 'palancin' balcony, a scaffolding-like structure used up until the early 1960s for drying and maturing grain grown in the farm's fields (barley, rye, oats) and running around three sides of the barn, is characteristic for Val Gardena.

The core of this detached farm with living and farm quarters under one roof dates back to 1554. The inside of the listed farm building was converted a few years ago. The farm name is from the pre-Romanesque place name of Col de Flam, which is linked to a 'La Tène' period cult site ('place with priests', 'place of invocation'), attested to by archaeological finds in Museum Gherdëina.
