Disconnect and look after our farm and pets while we are away near Osorno, Chile

Details

• 

  Description

  Situated in the beautiful Los Lagos region, near the city of Osorno, this location features a captivating blend of native forest and an operational hazelnut farm. This is the ideal stay for someone looking to disconnect and relax. You will love it if you enjoy nature photography, are an animal lover, and want a Private Retreat. With no formal work required, you have the freedom to follow your own routine, read, write, or work remotely while enjoying the fresh air.
  While we are away, you will be the primary guardians of our home, but you won’t be isolated. Our local worker manages the farm's agricultural side, specifically tending the hazelnut orchards. He is a friendly local presence who knows the land inside and out and is a great contact for any questions about the property or the region.
  We need a responsible individual or couple whose primary focus is the security of the house. Your only "jobs" are to keep the dogs and cats fed and to ensure the house is occupied and safe.

  Help

  My wife and I require a person or a couple to look after our farm for approx 6 weeks from the end of August. The help required would be to ensure the property is kept secure and to look after our pets. We have a worker who normally feeds them, but during his time off, they will need looking after.
