Description
Hello! I live in a big wooden cabin over-looking a lake, surrounded by nature and singing birds!
The land is private, isolated, (Nearest shops 7km), beautiful & peaceful with 2 acres of garden and woodland.
If you like relaxing in nature?
I have built the cabin as a home, with a separate acupuncture clinic. I work from home, and treat patients 3 to 4 days per week.
I have already planted 1000 trees.
I have also built an outside spa with jacuzzi, solar hot/cold shower, wood-fired sauna.
Projects outside include land-clearing (strimming), clearing around the lake, moving and stacking firewood, fencing, weeding, general gardening.
Help with cooking, cleaning, and general domestics could be good during busy months.
I would like to build an outside dry compost toilet; fishing pontoon/jetty. I am preparing a new herb garden.
Main projects for 2025
- clear all around the small lake,
- weed-out the garden,
- strimming / land-clearing.
- help cleaning / cooking.
- set-up rain water collection and auto-water herb garden.
- build an outside terrace / veranda.

I have a single bedroom available inside the house (suitable for longer stays),
or a double bedroom suitable for a couple staying for a week.Types of help and learning opportunities
