Regional NSW - Southern Tablelands
Lucia
Come and enjoy the beautiful Southern Highlands on a small, idyllic rural property. A spacious 2 story farm house in a large 2 acre garden is surrounded by the green undulating pastures of adjoining farms, accessed by a very picturesque unsealed country road.
We are about an hour and 40 minutes drive from both Canberra and Sydney CBD, at 720 mts altitude so it can be cooler than the coast or inland.
You will definitely need a car as the nearest train station is 6kms away.
If you love animals, this is your kind of place! There are 2 very well trained border collies (who need a morning walk every day), currently 15 resident chickens who free range in the garden each afternoon and a gorgeous house cat Charlotte (very easy care), who wishes you to know that she has no need of exercise, as she's flat out sleeping.
To housesit here, there is the expectation that you will be here each night, and a fair bit of time during the day. Apart from feeding animals, the dogs require an off-leash 30 minute walk each morning in the nearby bushland or on any of the many scenic walks in the area ( maps provided).
We are on rain (tank) water only, and the fire wood is all coming from trees felled on the farm, so we are careful with resources. If you are after extravagant hotel luxury with little to do, this probably isn't the place for you. But if you are happy with thoughtful and economical use of resources and enjoy nature you will be very comfortable.
The house and gardens are large and spacious with most mod cons; radio, TV, DVD player etc., but you will need to hotspot off your
phone for internet connection. Telstra coverage is fine, Optus is ok, but Vodaphone coverage is usually poor.
There are fresh eggs every day from the 'egg static' free-ranging chickens, and fresh fruit, herbs and veggies (what ever is in season) in the large vegetable garden to enjoy.
Detailed notes are provided, and I like to give new house sitters at least an hour's orientation to show you around and so you can feel secure in finding things. (...and I will be contactable if there's anything you can't find!).
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Lucy
