Looking for a couple of responsible, mature, handy, clean, non-smokers, who enjoy nature and are not afraid to be far away from people. Close to Blue Ridge Parkway, James River and the Appalachian Trail, our house is a spacious, air-conditioned, eclectic 3-bedroom home on 50 acres of forest surrounded by other rural properties.
We prefer a couple because of our remote location, but will consider single applicants. We prefer those who can stay the entire time but will consider shorter stays for experienced housesitters.
Experience with gardens is a must, since there will be outdoor plants that need watering or tending; there are four large but friendly goats to feed daily. Sorry, we cannot accept carers with pets or children. There is no TV here and you'll need cell service from Verizon for emergencies (when the power goes out, the wifi goes as well, and very few carriers get service here other than Verizon). Wifi is fairly reliable but not fast enough for large file transfer or gaming.
We are centrally isolated between Lynchburg, Lexington, and Charlottesville. This place is a magical piece of the planet.
