Description
Looking for someone(s) to housesit on a farm in the middle of a beautiful forest far away from the modern world and look after Lara (the cat).
We grow almonds, olives, pomegranates and other fruit and veg on the farm for our own consumption although at the moment we are just focusing on making the place look presentable.
Previously there was a campsite on the finca and several houses which were used for holiday lets. The houses are all still in operation but the campsite has been discontinued.
We are off grid, which means we get our electricity from solar panels and our water comes from a well. No pollution for miles, very clean living. The house itself is fully equipped with all the amenities of a modern villa.
Ideally we are looking for a family or a group of friends to stay up at the farm. Views are second to none and closest neighbours are wild goats.

Marco him self is very laid back and easy going, even while he was not present, he did still provide the information I need and had always an open ear.
