Description
Hello everyone!
We are a Simone & Salah with our 2-year-old daughter, Yara.
There are also two cats, named Hank and Poepje and a bunch of chickens living with us.
Our place is in a valley at the beginning of the Pyrénées-Oriëntales outside a beautiful little village named Corsavy (350 inhabitants). In 2019, we moved into a beautiful Mas with 3,5 hectares of land consisting out of a mountain hill, a river, and a big forest. If you search well enough in our jungle, you'll be able to find plenty of fruit trees, berry's, nut trees and, if the season is right, mushrooms. We have our own water source, which (when it runs > the wild pig's tend to mess up the water pipes, they love having mud baths) provides crystal clear mountain water. The Mas itself consists out of the main house, a separate room and the gîte (which all need a little bit of TLC). And we must mention that we have a pool :)
During the past 3 years we have been transforming this property to create a more sustainable life for ourselves.
Our goal is to turn this old Mas and land into something prosperous, so we can create a place where people can be at ease and enjoy the simple life.
We are looking forward to meeting you!

*** WE ARE REALLY LOOKING FOR IMMEDIATE HELP***
You would basically be our right hand and for most of the time work autonomously, there are also many jobs which we would do together.
We would love you to help us with all kinds of things such as, harvesting fruit/vegetables, play dates with the kids, general maintenance, pruning trees, usual household stuff and many other things.
There is also a small but good equipped work shop where we make some crafty work, let's be creative!
Furthermore, we are asking for 25 hours of work a week, but also we think that everyone works best according to their own schedule.
Mostly we go with the flow of what feels best and with what the weather permits. Of course, you can spend and organize your free-days or free-time as you wish (there is so much to explore here!).
Or sometimes, we are just enjoying the company with some drinks and good food :)
Please note that we are looking for someone who could stay with us for at least three weeks.

Autres infos...
The mas is situated in the mountains, which provides plenty of opportunities to roam around and discover the area. Corsavy is at hiking distance to the Canigou (2784m), 40km from the coast and very close to Spain.
If you like the outdoors this is the place to be. You can go cycling ( we have 2 mountain bikes available) hiking, rafting, para-sailing, canoeing, and climbing. Everything is possible, even playing golf on the highest altitude of Europe, ''La Domaine de Falgos'' in the village of Saint-Laurant-de-Cerdans (1100m).There are plenty of old medieval towns around with old fortresses and monasteries. There are thermal (healing) baths in Amelie Les Bains (the closest bigger town) and every saturday there is a nice beautiful alternative market in Céret. Perpignan is reachable by bus for 1 € from Arle-sur-Tech.
