  • Description

    Description

    We are a family on 5 acres, 1 km out of a small I idyllic beachside town. We love nature and enjoy the journey of transitioning to simpler living.
    We love living in nature, close to the ocean, where wildlife is in abundance
    As we try to live a full life, the upkeep of a large house and large property gets a bit on top of us. So helping around the property and on the house is what most help will be.
