Description
The project is my own piece of land on the Santa Maria River in the mountains, 3 km from the town of Santa Fe, Veraguas. I have lived here 8 years, coming from USA. The land is 8,000sq. meters (2acres). I live in a house on the property that I am still building myself. There is a trail to the river, beautiful views and lots of shade so it does not get hot. This is a permaculture & BioDynamic farm (I am trained in both), planted with many fruit trees and edible plants. House is rustic ans comfortable and has a secure space for valuables. It is off grid and has solar power and private water service. Internet is 4G with Tigo, Digicel, Claro, MasMovil.

Help
*️️️*️️️*️️️*️️️ONLY need someone to watch the house and farm while I am gone. A house sitter. This is very little actual physical work, unless you want to. It is a responsibility though, because it is watching out for the house/farm. Think of this as a vacation. I do not provide allowance for food, but free place to stay. You can eat what is growing on the farm, too. HELPFUL if you speak some spanish!! Since this is an active farm, there are constant tasks of all types when I am here: construction, gardening, maintenance, planting, art/design/decor.
