Experience the wilderness on a beautiful homestead on Atlin Lake. We need a caretaker on our remote homestead in the wilderness to help with gardening and homestead chores. We live a simple life in harmony with nature. There is NO tele , cell service, internet access, electricity, or power on the property. It is 26 kms to the nearest town. There is public internet access, showers, and laundry available in the town of Atlin. We are located at the northern edge of BC, 2.5 hrs south of Whitehorse, Yukon. Our property is 183 acres on Atlin Lake and has its own natural warmsprings. Our lifestyle includes gardening, fishing, hunting, and gathering medicinal herbs. There is a sauna and warmsprings pool for bathing, and a stream running past an outdoor communal cookshack. Previous wilderness experience is an asset.
The position is available from May 1 to September 30. We ask for about hours of help each week. Accommodations are in an 8 X 10' rustic wood heated cabin or wall tent. You must be independent, have strong back muscles for digging in the garden, split your own firewood, and cook on a woodstove. Although we get many retired people inquiring our experience is that young, energetic people who like hard work do best at our location. If you are dependent on the internet this is not a good place to come!
This is a great opportunity for fishing, hiking, exploring the wilderness, and personal retreat in nature! Please don't hesitate to ask any questions.
