    Description

    We want to share our adventure in Germany with you. We are an Australian/German Couple, who bought an old schloss in North Saxony. We need help with gardening, restoration, building, videography, social media, cooking and cleaning. We also have an online natural lime paint business.
    There are many jobs here, building , gardening, we have 5 hectares of land including an ancient orchard.
    We have a 20 room house that needs skills like rendering and carpentry, and scraping down the old walls, baroque flooring that requires unskilled work cleaning.
    We love working with others, and have worked with many different people over the years. It's our dream to bring our house here alive with new people and stories , and of course we need lots of help to do the many hundreds of things we want to create here. We are situated in a beautiful rural area with lots of nature and forests.
    1.5 hours from Leipzig and Dresden, 2.5 hours from Berlin and Prague, all easily accessed by train.
