Commencing soon

Old style 3 bedroom home, in great condition. Property is 2.5 acres situated on a good sealed road, about 3km drive from the main town of Wonthaggi, Victoria (Bass Coast).

The home is about 2km from Williamsons Beach; it's an unpatrolled beach and not suited for swimming due to rips etc, but has some magnificent sunsets and great opportunity for peaceful isolated beach walks.

I have a small breeding cattery next to the house on the property, containing 5 cats (sometimes with kittens); I also have one beautifully-natured indoor cat. I have 6 sheep and 13 chickens (fresh eggs every day folks!). The property has an above-ground swimming pool, but I struggle to get it to change from green to clear swimming water, so it may not be usable.

There is a walking/cycling/horse trail that crosses my road about 100m away, which can access Wonthaggi township (2km) or all the way back to San Remo/Phillip Island (approx. 22km).

My home, and surrounds, are a beautiful peaceful part of the world which lends itself to a very relaxed stay.

Pets & farm animals

I run a small hobby cat-breeding business at the property, with 5 adult & juvenile cats (and sometimes kittens). I also have 6 sheep in the paddocks, and chickens in a chicken-run.

House Tasks

The cattery needs daily cleaning (poop-scooped etc, check water and bulk feeders). The cat litter trays inside the house also need poop-scooped every day. The chickens and sheep are generally self-sustaining for the period of my absence. I'll need you to collect the mail from the post-box in town a couple of times a week. I have a lawn-mowing contractor come in every 2 weeks for the lawn care. I also have a house-keeper who can come in and clean for you, but at your expense ($50), otherwise I'd expect that the house would be left clean and tidy for when I return (please). I don't expect this to be a problem, but I ask that there be only one couple in residence, and not have' visitors' staying over. This is not a party-house, it's my home.
