Description
My husband Peter and I live on 120 acre farm in the village of Nobber in County Meath and 1 hour's drive north of Dublin City. We built our own house in 1996. We have most of the farm leased to another farmer but we have 4 calves and 2 friendly collie dogs Patch and Lucky. We converted an old stone barn into a house and we also renovated an old cottage on the farm. We have tourists coming to stay. We are looking for a person or a couple who would be interested in helping with painting walls inside in the houses.We are situated in a very picturesque quiet county area with rolling green fields. You can explore Meath while you are here.
