We need a house sitter

Northland - Far North

Shantara

Fancy spending time in a pure nature wonderland with spring fed river and ancient forest with kiwis, peaceful and quiet yet only 20 minutes drive from a town and 8 minutes from an epic beach ?. Suit mature couple even ex farmers or ex lifestyle block people, overseas couple with aligned skillsets, that love to potter, (large shed) can fix things should something break, solution based thinkers, into art, or writing their bestseller! poly tunnel w. raised garden beds, small glasshouse - irrigation set up on timer so just needs water access turned on and later off again., bit of weeding nothing major. Land has powerful healing energies and low EMF so a healthy spot, clean air, to rejuvenate. Private spacious cottage with full kitchen, The river great for a dip or sitting on the large flat rocks and cooling down your legs !
We are also looking for the perfect dedicated land sitters to come back every year for 3 -4 months during NZ late autumn to base themselves on the land., or interested in a long terms house sit. There are awesome best beaches in NZ close by, with famous Matauri bay beach only 8 mins drive away, abundant fishing off the rocks in lovely bays all within 20-30 mins from the property , stunning Paihia for dinners out at waterfront and Puketi forest forest walks once you have finished exploring our forest ! We are into eco sustainability and love eco projects and strive to be Zero Waste consciousness ! The recycling station is also only 10 minutes drive from the land so life is pretty simple and joyous and full of birdlife ! WE ARE FLEXIBLE WITH the dates above for this next house sit.

We let you 'work' alongside us for a few days so we can show you the ropes, Have tried and true operations daily sheets as checklists for you and are always available via our whatapp.
PLEASE NOTE: OUR DATES are approximate so please enter discussion with us. Also we are also on the lookout for a longer stay ie 3-4 months so like a care take house/landsit, for the right aligned couple thanks

We found the chores very easy and a lot of fun. Everything about the stay suited us and the farm pets were a delight, all with their funny personalities. They have a beautiful house and property, with a beautiful river running through and native bush on the other side, which has a wonderful walking trail. A perfect base to check out the all ... MORE
