Description
We live off grid in a natural park, which is situated in the mountains but only 15 mins from the beach by car and 30 mins from Cartagena and 50 mins from Murcia capital and the house is 100% solar energy efficient. We share with 2 dogs, 2 cats, and would like to have some chickens again. We ve been here for 15 years, and are northern European, I am Belgian and but lived 31 years fulltime in England. I am artistic, a painter, and very creative, I love my garden but urgently need help with weeding and with reorganizing the vegetable garden, which is very small but functional and I am semi vegetarian. It would be preferable to have someone who is able to drive however you must be 26 of âgé for insurance purposes and of course have a full license. Also help in the house will be required. I m planning to maybe sell or adapt my house or.move and need to sort out lots. I need urgent help With re órganising all my things in my house. Also some furniture and woodwork needs painting and revamping. Are you any good at this? There s always lots of work in the garden. I look forward to hear from you.

Help
I urgently need someone to help me put ting order in my house and sorting thing, it something I need to do personally but to have someone help me would make it far lighter work. I also Need help With computer skills, putting a property up for vacational rental, putting photos, setting up a site that I can generally manage afterwards and also one for the tourist board etc . This I not that vital though, more needed is general help around the house, sometimes cleaning like spring cleaning and tidying on a daily basis and, do the daily chores. Help with gardening, such as weeding and digging, , tidying stuff up from in the yard and the garden and lifting things as I have a back issue, and etc but we are open to people´s abilities such as general maintenance such as repairs, maybe painting walls , anyone able to help with technology is always helpful from time to time as well as sharing cooking duties. Looking after the raised beds with vegetables would be handy. They re only little. The garden needs some work, There are always plenty of things to be done.
You need to be over 26 years of age. Have a valid driving licence. To be able to drive my car. I welcome also people who come with their own transport.

Accommodation
bedroom and use of bathroom, generally not shared unless we have another guest. You will have to make your own breakfast as I just have coffee, Usually have a light lunch and have a cooked dinner in the evening. We will come to arrangement how the kitchen facilities will be shared. I do not like food fried in the house especially not meat. There is a internet connection, I have starlink, which seems to work well.
What else ...
Puerto the Mazarron has a bus station from where you can travel to various towns and places. Having your own car or renting one would make it easier for you to visit local beaches and areas of interest.
We are in a natural reserve with high fire risk, smoking is only permitted in one designated area due to forest fires. Making bonfires is strictly forbidden.
We enjoy the quite life and nature and the tranquility.
It is an ideal place for those people who like to disconnect.
We are respectful of people s space and as this is our home that it is reciprocated. Although water is limited and gets brought in by lorry, we like you to have daily showers and they.must be short and we are happy to share the washing machine with mutual conferring not to waste water or energy. We will also have to discuss and teach you how to live with solar energy as there are certain guidelines.
