We are seeking a housesitter from November 19-27th. (We will be returning on Thanksgiving Day.) Our home is located on 70+ private acres, just 35 minutes from downtown Columbia, SC. We're less than 2 hours from downtown Charleston, SC, and less than 3 hours from Asheville, NC. Our property includes a completely private 8-acre pond plus hiking trails within and beyond our secluded pine/hardwood forest. The house is spacious with lots of glass and beautiful views. We have 3 gentle house cats that use a cat door to come and go at their leisure. There is a lot of wildlife on the property including deer, raccoons, and visiting waterfowl. Our home has high-speed wifi, satellite tv, a whole-house generator (in case of power failure), and a fully functional security system. During the summer months our garden produces organic tomatoes, an assortment of peppers, Asian eggplants, various squash, beets, etc., that you are encouraged to harvest for your enjoyment. We have a huge back patio with a large table for outdoor dining. We maintain several hummingbird feeders and bird feeders that we like to keep filled during the summer months.
