    Description

    Hi there, I am Kathleen (54). I'm living in Glageon with my husband Sébastien (54). Our children (28 & 25) come and visit us every now and then... Last year, we realized our dream and bought a former farm house (18th century) in the middle of nature. Big land around (1,4ha) with forest, pond and several animals: dog, cats, chickens, pigeons, sheep & ducks. Lots of daily working where you could give me a hand feeding animals, chopping wood, cutting trees, gardening, cleaning home, preparing food...

    We have many outdoor and indoor projects we'd like to tackle!

    

If you think you'd like to come join our little Paradise, please feel free to contact us and ask any questions you may have.
