    Description

    Hi my name is Joshua I live 12 minutes outside of a small town called Knysna in South Africa I live in the countryside on a beautiful property surrounded by Forest hikes and walks whether you want to explore the streams and rivers and mountains or only 8 minutes to the white sand beaches with great surfing and beaching you will be well entertained!

    Knysna is a great town with many restaurants shops it is very scenic and safe!

    Currently I am running two small holdings trying to build them up and I could definitely use a hand I am planting a vineyard, lavender fields and fruit Orchard on one on the other building a road Reservoir and Cottage so there is plenty to do.
    If you have a passion for the land and nature! Enjoy new and interesting places and a bit of Adventure this could be an opportunity for you!
