We have a 4 bedroom Country Homestead set on 5 acres in the Yorklea area of the Northern Rivers. This quiet rural area is relaxing and care free and we have good neighbors that will assist you if you require. The property is set up with stables for 2 horses which will be relatively low maintenance for our period of absence. There will be experienced contacts available should there be any concerns with our two mares. The menagerie also includes an outside cattle dog, an inside Moodle who thinks she's human,a cat, a goldfish, 2 ducks and 14 chickens which will provide you with fresh eggs each day. The house is bounded by about 1 acres of lawns which are maintained by Ride-on mower. The house is solar powered with solar hot water. We are on Tank water which you will love along with pristine bore water which services parts of the house and the property itself. There is a small vegie garden that will require some care but I expect you will be repaid with strawberries about the time of our absence. The property is about 25 minutes drive to Lismore and 15 minutes drive to Casino. Depending on the weather you will have heating in the house of a wood fire and if warm you can sit on the outside deck and listen to natures noises in peace and quiet. The deck is fitted out with a BBQ and Gas Oven which make a great place to relax. On a daily basis the domestic pets will need to be fed, the chooks and ducks are let out in the morning to free range and then locked up around 4pm. The pens need cleaning about every 3 days which takes about 30 minutes. The lawns may need to be mowed 1 or 2 times depending on the weather. This is our first time using house sitters so will need to be confident that potential sitters will respect our property and care for our pets and animals.
