Hello!
Enjoy a beautiful homestead in central Portugal, near the coast. Here you will be in Nature: very close to the Ocean (less than 1Km), Mountains and woods.
Our home is set in a 1hectare/10.000square meter plot, where we are creating a food forest.
While here, you can enjoy a very comfortable house, with a lovely view over the garden. Your flat will have an open kitchen/living room, a bathroom, a bedroom, a storage room and a separate laundry room. There is great insulation and an active ventilation system. Everything is electric and powered by solar energy, even during the night. A small playground and outdoor kitchen will also be at your disposal.
The main collaboration would consist of:
-
Making sure the irrigation system is working and troubleshooting if needed. The system will be automated, but requires vigilance to make sure it is running smoothly
-
A daily tour of the garden to spot for anything that might need intervention
-
A quick look at the vegetable garden to see if anything is ready to pick…and eat it, if so you desire.
There are no pets to care for. There are plenty of birds, insects and the occasional squirrels and rabbits, so bring your binoculars if you are interested in watching those.
Nearby you will be able to access: beach (river and ocean), a train station (with low traffic), mini supermarket, coffee shop, post office, playgrounds, church... With a bike/car you will quickly reach: pharmacy, supermarket, restaurant, bars, ice cream shops, small local commerce, Caldas das Rainha (big city), dinosaur footprints, natural reserve, caves, etc….
This opportunity is great for someone alone, a couple, or even a young family that is looking forwards to spend a holiday in Nature but in a comfortable setting. While there are just a few responsibilities/tasks to take on, these should be taken diligently and with care.
