House sitting

Hello everyone,

We are looking for someone to house-sit for an extended year period. This would suit someone/s who is wanting to finish their Masters/PHD or studies in a quiet still setting. It would suit someone who wants a break from the road for a year or who is healing from illness or wants to truly explore the area for future possibilities. We would work with you to make it work (aka having extra house-sitters if you want to go away for the weekend etc). We are intending a year in Melbourne to establish our business and spend time with our families off the farm. So it is a long house-sit and potentially can be broken down to two 6month jobs or 4 3month jobs lol but we are putting it here to see if it would suit anyone wanting a longer change to stay still rent free. Caravaners most welcome also as are families and pets.

We live on a 3 acre property in a small rural village (34people, 1 pub, 6 tennis courts and one telstra phone box) called coolatai. Our property has acted as a community venue of types for several years now and thus it has been carved and built out of all sorts of recycled reclaimed materials. It is quite charming.

There is an outdoor kitchen, stage, classroom, toilet/shower/bath and the remains of an opshop in our horse stable.

We have 2 llamas, 3 sheep, and 18 chickens. they all free range and are really minimal effort. Food and water and birds away in the evenings. We are also surrounded by beautiful native birds of every description. Coolatai is unique because it sits in the centre of 5 different bio-regions - meaning we have a very astounding amount of life around us

The universe above our head is remarkable and the pub near by offers milk, a romantic (lol) dinner out, and a cold drink if required. Our nearest town for food and fuel is Warialda (40ks) and Inverell & Moree (about 100ks an hour and a bit away). The surrounding area is beautiful - and i will leave you a map to some stunning perfect waterholes near by us.

The house is comfortable. Aircon - bedrooms - there are a 1000films to view but no tv options. Lots of books. i am an artist so the house is eclectic and full of my paintings - its a great place to be inspired to paint write sing think. We also have an outdoor cinema smile firepit and popcorn machine.

If you are interested in a rural setting to explore a dynamic outback area (lightning ridge is 4 hours from here and an amazing place to visit for a night) in a really unique space then this could be the job for you.

Happy to send pics if requested. youll be charmed,

big lov
