This is two different requests. One for housesitting from may to september 2025 and one for the"normal" season, when we are at home.
We are urgently looking for somebody/a couple, who would like to spend wintertime here and take care of our home from middle of may until end of September. We like to spend two weeks together to explain everything and introduce you here. Then we stay in contact the whole time, so if you have questions we are available.
You'll have: a wonderful house in beautiful nature far off, 10km from Palena. Enough firewood, hot and cold water. Vegetables from the garden (potatoes, carrots, red beat, cabbage and more). Lots of german books, an electrical piano...
Don't hesitate to ask for more details.
Here the normal request:
We are a German-Dutch couple with 2 sons, 9 and 7 years old. We are living on a wonderful piece of land far from any city, enjoying good neighborhood and friendship with the chilean people. We are building up our farm, having build our own eco house and the whole infrastructure. Now we are almost done.
We have a big garden, where we grow vegetables and produce seeds. We take care of our animals (3 horses, 10 cows, 16 chicken, 5 cats and a dog), which includes several hey making events. We try to live as self sufficient as possible and make our own bred and milk products.
We always enjoy the help and company of other people, teaching and learning all about farming and construction.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
Simple life with good food in a wonderful surrounding far from cities. Possibility to work and learn about gardening, making cheese and bred and eco construcción. Contact and exchange with neighbors and learning about traditional Patagonian (gaucho) life is possible.
We would like to share a good time together as everything is very basically and close together and we are 10 km from Palena. Until now it has worked.

Ayuda
We are always happy and thankful about help. The tasks of 24/25 is to prepare the garden, make firewood, clean the land (there is a lot of damages trees because of heavy snowfall) and other tasks outside, that need power and the will to get dirty. Apart from that you can always give a hand in the household with cooking and cleaning.
From December on we hopefully start the cheese season. January and february we are going to make hey, which needs some strong hands as well. Raspberries have to be picked at that time as well.
So there is always plenty of tasks around, mainly physically and mainly outside.
Generally we have a lot of tasks with plants and soil; animals we make ourselves.

Alojamiento
Basic and rustical: a room with your own kitchen, outside shower (with warm water when the sun is shining) and outside compost toilets. Outside is plenty space with a roof next to a waterfall, where you can make fire. We eat together a warm lunch. Breakfast and dinner (bread or cereals) on your own. (We provide you with the food of course.) From January on we have vegetables from our garden, milk, cheese, yogurt and meat from our cows, self made bred... Alcohol and sweets are not included and can be bought ~ once a week in Palena.
Algo más...
In free time you can go walking in the mountain, fishing, swimming, horse riding (only from January on and if the horses are close, have shoes and you are really able to ride) and meeting other people. Or just enjoy the pure nature around us. For transportation come by bus to Palena and we get you.

it was very varied. The landscape is very beautiful. I enjoyed it a lot to sit there and watch the nature.
