About
Looking for a quiet country escape with a touch of daily purpose? Our Toowoomba escarpment acreage offers sweeping views, a beautiful garden, and your own private guest quarters—all just minutes from town. It’s a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and simply be.
We’re seeking a reliable, animal-loving person or couple to care for:
* Three poodles – two playful youngsters and one sweet senior (she needs a little extra gentleness as she’s hard of hearing and sight).
* A small flock of chooks – easy going, just needing daily feed, water, and egg collection.
* Plenty of pots – mostly clustered along verandahs, needing a good watering routine.
No gardening, mowing, or heavy yard work is required. We just need someone to keep things gently ticking along while we’re away. The house and garden sit within a well-maintained fenced area - beyond the fence is natural bushland and wildlife. Life here feels rural but with town conveniences only minutes away.
You’ll have your own fully self-contained guest quarters—bathroom, kitchenette, cosy lounge, and air-con—connected to the main home by a covered outdoor BBQ area with those views on tap.
If you enjoy animals, don’t mind a bit of daily routine, and are comfortable with a natural bush backdrop, this could be your perfect short-term escape with purpose.
Please contact us for more details!
