    Description

    We live in a perfect piece of paradise.
    Our home is in 5 acres of “re-wilded” land with amazing wildlife living quietly alongside us.
    We are Tony and Karen. We have two grown children who pop home occasionally, and we have a doolally dog, a handful of naughty red squirrels, a male pheasant and his hareem, rabbits and hares that like to tease the dog! Oh and occasionally a gaggle of escapee chickens from the next door farm!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    This is an area rich in history and medieval architecture. The beautiful Dordogne valley is in easy driving distance and should you fancy some city life the stunning Bordeaux city is just over 1 hour and 1/4 away.
    Tony enjoys history and Karen enjoys cooking.

  • Help

    Help

    We need some help to manage the land. Chipping, logging, strimming, trimming and mowing. We seem excellent at growing ‘thuggish’ plants that take over at a phenomenal speed so help controlling these would be brilliant.
    Also some help with maintaining the shutters would be helpful.

    Accommodation

    You will have a double bed in a 400 year old fully converted french farmhouse. You will have sole use (unless you are here when children pop home) of a bathroom with shower and toilet.

    We have many lovely outside areas to enjoy including a swimming pool which you will be free to use.

    We will provide 3 meals a day; breakfast, a light lunch and a hearty evening meal.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Workawayers would need their own transport as we are very rural.

    We work from home, and so during the working day hours inside the house is quite quiet.
