We are looking for a non-smoking couple, who like animals to house sit from 17th December 2024 for approximately 2 weeks, the dates are flexible and would need to be confirmed. A longer stay is possible if needed to fit in with other house sits.

The house is an old farmhouse which we have renovated and we have 2 barn cats, 3 chickens, 2 Shetland ponies and 2 sheep all set in about 1 acre. There is also a small apartment adjoining the house.

The house is in a small/friendly hamlet which is rural and very quiet, between 2 towns both 4.5km away where there are a few restaurants, a large supermarket, some smaller shops and markets. The city of Limoges is about 45 minutes away and is very interesting.

There is also a large lake about 20 minute drive away, Lac du Vassiviere, the second largest lake in France. The area is great for cycling and walking and there are bikes available at the house if needed.

The nearest airport is Limoges Bellegarde, which is about an hour away and is served by Ryanair and Air France.

There is a fully equiped kitchen. There is tv, and wifi at the house.

 The animal care is quite easy:- Chickens fed  and locked away at night.

Ponies fed twice a day.

Sheep/ponies - water checked daily.

Cats fed daily.

* The house is rural you would need to drive. It may be possible to use our van.

* Knowledge/experience of sheep/chickens/ponies useful but not essential. An awareness of their wellbeing and confidence around the animals is more important.

The house and apartment are both  comfortable and well equipped.

Experience of using a wood burner for heating would help but not essential.

If you like animals, enjoy nature, peace and quiet and want to really live in France then this could be for you. However please bear in mind this is Central France and not the south of France. It can be very wet in winter but still a beautiful place to spend some time.

Thanks for looking and look forward to hearing from you.
