Description
We live on a small lifestyle block 5 minutes away from the small towns of Alexandra and Clyde.
Our land is mainly used for growing veggies, hay and baleage but depending on the time of year there maybe stock around.
We have owned the section for approx 5 years and slowly developing it with trees and shrubs ( the edible variety!)
Our family consists of 2 adults, two dogs and 3 children (6,4,2)
There is lots to explore nearby , if you love walks, biking and swimming or perhaps head over to Queenstown or wanaka for a bit faster pace of life! ( Around 1 hr drive) We have a few bikes you can borrow, lots of rabbits to shoot, however as we live 5 mins from town a car would be preferable, if not we can drop you into town whilst there ourselves.
We would like help with daily life, the children love baking, piano, reading and being active outside, we would ask for approx 4hrs per day, but happy for you to have free time to explore on a monday and friday whilst im working.
There is plenty of outside jobs to be done depending on the season, pruning, planting, building, fencing, wood stacking
