Description
Hi,
Our family are all 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.
My husband Brian and I have finished building our passive solar timber framed home and have now moved in. We're enjoying living in an organic permaculture-based community and are growing our own veggies and fruit trees.
Brian has also built our daughter’s passive solar home (and our son-in-law and their two boys - our grandsons) only a block away. They are living in it but they still have much to do.
A willing helper would be very useful for chores such as painting, general cleaning up, gardening and landscaping projects too.
Having 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 could live in your own studio where you’d have your bed, bathroom and toilet, and the family would provide healthy meals for you in their home.
Work hours are 5 hours a day, 5 days a week.
Let us know if this would suit you. -
