About

Our small farm property is in a beautiful part of the Adelaide Hills, but only 29km from the CBD. Bingley, our Airedale dog also calls our little bit of paradise home. Bingley is 2 years old, looks like a big cuddly teddy bear and is full of beans and mischief- he's very energetic and attention seeking, so needs somebody who has time to supervise and let him expend his energy on our 20 acre property.
There are about 25 chooks in 4 pens in a large enclosure who pretty much take care of themselves- but need their water and feed replenishing daily.
There are 21 sheep happily grazing their hillside paddock or in the orchards who don't need much attention other than an occasional head count.
Our home is a renovated 100 year + Federation style house with 3 bedrooms, large farmhouse kitchen, dining room, lounge and study- wi-fi available. We have a large deck built under the verandah where you can relax and enjoy the view over the orchard and listen to the birds sing. If you love nature and a peaceful setting, whilst still being a short drive from the bustle of the city when you need it, then you will enjoy our home.
Our home is centrally heated via radiators running from a woodstove.. We will leave plenty of firewood for you to use, but you may need to wheel barrow more loads a short distance from our wood bin stores to the house.
We will show you how everything works, but we do need somebody who is fairly fit and has the stamina to walk up and down our hilly property to supervise a very energetic dog. Gumboots or farm boots are recommended - this is not a house sit suited to high heels!
