We are looking for a person(s) who loves animals and living in the country. Our 20 acre farm is in the foothills of the Andes, with vistas of mountains, rolling hills, meadows and forests. A topography similar to Tuscany, yet in the central region of Chile. It is a 2 hour drive to the Andes and 1 hour to the coast. Nearest fully serviced town is 8 kms. The setting is very private, tranquil and beautiful. We need a house-sitter(s) for 6 to 18 months. The only responsibilities would be caring for the 3 dogs, 1 cat, 1 horse and 9 chickens. The furnished, equipped house is a small 2 bedroom wood frame bungalow with attached garage. There is a glass block shower and ceramic floors in the bathroom, ceramic floors and wood ceilings in the kitchen and wood floors with exposed beams in the living room. The bedrooms have wood floors. The land is mostly open with many fruit trees including oranges, lemons, apples, quince, figs, cherries, peaches, apricots, avocados, and nuts, an olive orchard, a small pine forest and a small eucalyptus forest. The scenery is incredible, the sunrises and sunsets (hilltop setting.. we get both) are awe inspiring, winters are mild and summers have sunshine almost every day. Included is DirecTV and high speed internet access.
PS The absolute best house-sitters and only :-) we have ever worked with are Hillary Zhou and Ben. Unfortunately I have lost touch with them. If anyone out there knows Hillary and Ben, please ask them to contact me. They are really good people and I want to contact them. thanks
