Description
We’re selling our cattle and taking a break to see our son in Brisbane. Five adult sheep and six lambs require little care with two bottle fed lambs should be weaned by our start date. A ginger cat has adopted us from his home with kids, a dog and motorbikes; he still gets his food from his owners, but spends a lot of time here (hopefully hunting rabbits). Fresh produce grown on the farm that is normally sold at weekly car boot sales is expected to be available for the kitchen with occasional local customers visiting for purchases. Some care for plants is desired during our time away.
We’re anticipating having three days with you to familiarise you with our home, routines and environment.
We’re almost 30km from New Plymouth, but 4km from rural Urenui village. A vehicle is desirable, but not essential. If you have special dietary requirements or favorite foods, please let us know so that we can make appropriate provisions.
The farm overlooks the Tasman Sea and the Onaero River and generally very peaceful with neighbouring cattle or haymaking sometimes filling out the rural atmosphere. If you are interested in this listing, please let us know any questions or concerns that you may have. This is also advertised on another site that we have use for a longer time.
