    Description

    Nestled in the heart of the breathtaking Robson Valley, our stunning acreage offers unparalleled access to the backcountry and an incredible opportunity to live right in the mountains! We are seeking a reliable, year-round ( mainly April to October and then December to March) permanent house sitter to live on-site and monitor our property while we come and go. Because we do not live at the property full-time, you will have the entire home to yourself. There is no business work required for this exchange. We simply need a trustworthy person (or couple) to keep the home secure and handle basic seasonal yard care. The perfect candidate is just an email away! If you love the outdoors, value a peaceful mountain lifestyle, and want the flexibility to potentially make a living as well, we want to hear from you!
