Description
My husband and I live on a property in rural Molong NSW. Approximately 26 km out of Orange NSW. Grant enjoys Off-road / Motocross riding whilst I enjoy meditation and yoga .Grant is retired and may like some assistance with farming duties(sheepwork,fencing,shed cleaning)only light work and I am still working and would love some assistance in the garden and around the home. We would only expect the worker / workers to do maximum of 3 hrs a day. I have a chookyard that I would love to have new fencing around and also our vegetable garden is in sad need of some attention.
The work required would only be around the house yard and home. Our youngest son and his family also live on the farm and there may be some home help required there as well,they have 2 small children. This would be included in daily hours assistance between the two homes.
No farming work is included in this stay.
We will be away from end of Feb till end of March and are happy for the right person/ people to stay here. We have a large comfortable home and one of our children and his family live on the property as well if any information is needed about the house / property.
Orange and surrounds offer bush walks,caves in Wellington,Dubbo Zoo and Age of Fishes museum all within a days drive .The Blue Mountains is a comfortable 2 hr drive. Sydney 3.5 hrs.
This would offer someone a country stay getting away from the bustle of city life.
Molong itself is a beautiful village,that is very welcoming. Unfortunately at the moment we are slowly rebuilding after devastating floods. Still there is plenty to see and do if you want or just relax.
