Details

• 

  Description

  A small hobby farm in the beautiful West Kootenays, with great access to plenty of outdoor activities including natural hotsprings, lakes, hiking trails, skiing, mountain biking and more. I am lucky enough to call this place home, and enjoy the scenery and sanctuary of my property located just outside of the village of Nakusp. I work in healthcare full time in town, but have a 2 dogs, 3 goats, 5 sheep and 10 chickens, as well as a large garden.

  What's this?
• 

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I love getting to share this beautiful part of the world with newcomers. Opportunities for language exchange, exploring new cuisines, and sharing homesteading skills would be ideal.

  Help

  I am looking for the right person/people to join me in helping to maintain the property, care for animals, help with house chores and work on a variety of projects around the property. Staying here will be a nice relaxing retreat, and a good launching off point to explore the area. I ask for an hour or two of work per day, with occasional larger project days in exchange for a free place to stay. The right person would ideally have their own vehicle, although commuting to town is reasonable by bike for the motivated person.

  What else ...

  Ideally no pets. If you are interested in staying but have a pet, feel free to reach out with details. I have 2 dogs already in the home and a cat allergy. One of my dogs is dog reactive, but with time and attention, she has easily coexisted for short periods with other dogs.
