    Description

    Hi,

    My husband and I are owner builders in one of the world’s best sustainable lifestyle villages in the south west of Western Australia, a beautiful region full of gorgeous swimming and surfing beaches, caves, wineries, bike tracks and bush walks.

    We are in the final stages of building our passive solar timber framed home in an organic community-based environment. Experience in carpentry would be very useful at this stage, as well as a willingness to clean and get ready for moving in.

    We are currently living in Margaret River just 8km away from the village where you would work. Your own car to have the freedom to go to and from the village is better for you, as there's so many wonderful places to discover and enjoy.

    You would have a bedroom, bathroom and toilet in the Margaret River home, with shared healthy meals.

    We hope you'd like to join us and be a part of our build.
