Description
Looking for someone(s) to housesit on a farm in the middle of a beautiful forest far away from the modern world and look after Lara (the cat).
We grow almonds, olives, pomegranates and other fruit and veg on the farm for our own consumption although at the moment we are just focusing on making the place look presentable.
Previously there was a campsite on the finca and several houses which were used for holiday lets. The houses are all still in operation but the campsite has been discontinued.
We are off grid, which means we get our electricity from solar panels and our water comes from a well. No pollution for miles, very clean living. The house itself is fully equipped with all the amenities of a modern villa.
Ideally we are looking for a family or a group of friends to stay up at the farm. Views are second to none and closest neighbours are wild goats.

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Tereza & Martin)
It was a pleasure to have Tereza and Martin up at the farm. They were very respectful and helpful with anything that needed doing. No fuss whatsoever and capable of adapting to challenging circumstances. I can highly recommend them.

Big thanks to Marco for the chance to do a house-sit at his lovely place near Lorca! We stayed for several months and really enjoyed it. The spot is beautiful – just a short walk to the forest, with amazing views over the unique semi-desert landscape. Even in winter, we had lots of warm, sunny days, which was exactly what we were hoping for. And… read more

Marco has been very accommodating and generous with his time. When he comes to the farm always asks in advance if I would like to do something in particular so that I can see something of the surrounding areas and I really appreciated that. The place is beautiful and the peace and quiet are for me the absolute best part of this house seat.

Ruth has been great up at the farm. She has kept the house immaculate and is not afraid to get her hands dirty. She has a positive attitude towards life and is it rubs off on those around her, whether they be human, animal or whatever else. Highly recommended.

I spent several months at Marco's place and had a great time there.
He was mostly away, so I chose not to rate cultural exchange since it would not be fair.
Marco him self is very laid back and easy going, even while he was not present, he did still provide the information I need and had always an open ear.

This workaway was very special for me, After spending 3 months working in and around Marco's property I can say that I have learned a lot about myself and have expanded my skill set. During my time I did some cementing, painting, filling, carpeting, mosaic, olive processing, cleaning and fixing. I had a wonderful opportunity to improve my spanish… read more

In a beautiful setting, with a variety of jobs and tasks. In our almost 5 months there (we were there just as the corona lockdown started), we pruned olive trees, built a henhouse, outdoor stairs and bench with a table, repaired and painted walls, weeded, cleaned and cleared, boarded up an oval window and more. We really enjoyed the variety of… read more

In November I stayed one and a half week at Marco's place and I really enjoyed my stay. I loved to wake up whitout hearing anything and the views were breathtaking!
