Description
Hi, my name is Cornelia, I am from Gemany and live in Austria where I have a 350 year old farm house.
We have 30 hectare ground, mostly woodland/forest. The house lies quite remote, the next very small village is 3 kilomters away .
The water in the wooden house comes from our own source, we have our own biological sewage treatment plant, our warm water is made by solar panels, the electricity comes from a PV system, and we have a garden where we grow vegetables, a little greenhouse and an orchard. And there is also a sauna.
We are very keen on natural forestry, which means we try to keep our woods as sustainable as possible.
It is a very quiet and beautiful place but you should take it in consideration that it can get a little bit lonely.
You can take a bike or the car if you are an experienced driver to get around.
We are looking for someone who is fun and open minded, used to beeing outside and do physical work, at least 21 years old and able to work independent and reliable.
