Description

Im after a house sitter on my small farm. The house is a large lodge and surrounded by 20 acres which has cattle, deer, and sheep on it. Very peaceful and only 7 mins to Fairlie, 50 mi s to Timaru,  25 mins to Tekapo and a few lakes 7 mins-1 hr. Preferably have someone clean and tidy that is capable of keeping an eye on water troughs over the summer months for the animals and at times may have to open a gate into others paddocks depending on how dry it gets so it my suit someone more hands on that enjoys this. The lodge is 6 bedrooms and im happy to pay someone to mow the lawns if required and water the gardens and vegetable patch. The lodge does have mounts of animals inside so dont understand hunting, farming, or the rural way. of life out here this wont be for you. Happy to discuss things further, Jim.
