Traditional Farmhouse in North-West Argentina

We are looking for people who would like to look after our holiday home on our working cattle farm. You can get a better impressiion of the place on : Search "La Esperanza Lodge". We have no pets there and you do not need to look after the farm´s livestock. However, you will need to speak Spanish and be happy to live in a relatively remote location. We need people to be around for a few weeks at the time, keeping the house occupied and its garden tidy.
The house is recently re-decorated and simply furnished. It is in the midst of almost tropical nature -  make sure you have a supply of insect repellent, and keep the lights in the house down at dusk to prevent insect invasions.
It would be useful if you have some practical skills and even better if you have some experience of living on a farm, but this is not strictly needed.  The livestock is looked after by our family, who live in the nearby town of Goya and  come over several times a week, as well as by a neighbour.

The farmhouse is located at approx 2 KM from a main road, at 25 KM from the lively provincial town of Goya, Corrientes. The house is furnished with 2 bedrooms, bathroom with hot water and shower, kitchen with a small gas cooker and fridge, has a great veranda, comes with a fantastic night-sky free from any light-pollution and mechanical noise. The house is connected to the electric mains and has a deep-well with good quality drinking water. Internet is available via good 4G mobile coverage of a nearby mast. Transport to and from town is by bus twice a day, the use of a small motorbike can be discussed to get to the bus stop.
The Iguazu Falls and  the Esteros de Ibera, one of the the worlds largest tropical wetlands parks, are within striking distance for 2-3 day trips and we can help to arrange these. Goya is located on the Parana river - which and hosts Argentina´s biggest fishing event once a year, the Fiesta del Surubi, as well as a remarkable carnival. We can assist with the organisation of fiishing trips by boat if needed. The house has no washing machine - a laundry service can be agreed.

Looking forward to hear from you,

Erika & Ralf
