Description
5 years ago I bought a piece of land in the mountains 1.5 hours north of Medellin. I started building my house there from scratch, first with some help and then on my own. The frame is in wood and the walls I made out of clay.
The plan was to live there permanently but plans change and I ended up moving to Jerico where I now run a coffee farm.
This means that since then (about 2 years ago) I have not done anything to the house and unfortunately it is empty. I would really like to continue to build on it and/or at least maintain it well, so I thought I'd put it on workaway.
The place is beautiful, with a nice river and small swimming ponds just below the house. It is about a 50 minute walk (uphill) from the road where the bus stops. Currently there is no water or electricity. Water can be reconnected, electricity could be via a small solar panel. There is cooking on gas and there is a gas bottle. The house has two rooms. One is a fully closed bedroom and the other is a living room and kitchen, which still needs some walls to be finished.
I am looking for one person or a couple that would like to live there for at least one month, maintain the house, if you have experience in natural building maybe build a wall, start working the land and plant some veggies and basically give this house and land some love and care.
You MUST love spending time alone in nature and don´t mind basic living conditions, if not, this is not for you.
I won't be around. The idea is to spend a few days at our coffee farm first, (see listing "volunteer at a coffee farm in Jerico) to get to know each other and so I can explain all there is to know about living there.
This is not for everyone; You must be very Independant, adventurous, love to spend time on your own in the middle of nature and know a thing or two about building/maintenance. If this is you, you will absolutely love this place!
