  Description

  We are a 10 acre lifestyle block in paradise.
  Used to be organically certified and grow amazing garlic for the farmers markets and organic shops. However we are now both retired and just need help to keep eveything under control.
  We are Lon, Gilly and Bayley our granddaughter.
  Woek consists of helping in the garden..we still grow produce for our own consumption. Helping with fencing to keep in unruly pet cows and horses. And building maintenance.
  We are friendly and outgoing and provide good meals in our cosy home..shared with 3 cats, 1 loopy dog and the occasional visiting goose.
  Plenty of gold mining history, vineyards and beautiful scenery for walking. Plus black sky star viewing.
  This was the location for Rohan in LOR and more recently Power of the Dog...we were all extras on it.
  We are 20ks from Poolburn Reservoir...kayaking, tramping etc.
  Alexandra is our closest town a d we can pick up from the bus for those with no transport.
