Description
Help and stay on a farm by a lake in a forest in Sweden's southernmost wilderness.
Great fishing, use of canoes, sauna by the lake, fully equipped kitchen, fibre optic Internet and large home cinema. Two pianos and other instruments are also available.
In exchange I need a few helping hands to roll out hay balls to the Highland cows, some grass cutting, trimming tiny trees and other small gardening jobs,
I need two people as the hay balls are heavy to push, and the feeding rack can be heavy to open, but I manage it with my daughter.
I'm going to be away for the next 3-4 weeks and need people here just to survey the 4 Highland cows and give the old horse a feed once a day.
Basically I need house-sitters for the time being.
I'm always open to discover other cultures, and am a mixture of many cultures myself, having lived and travelled on four continents.
I prefer you to have your own car, but if not I can provide one.
You'd have a double bedroom and use of most of the house. No fires in the fireplaces nor outside are allowed at the moment as Sweden is very dry.
The house is centrally heated. There are two bathrooms, but only one shower. My bedroom is at the other end of the house.
Nearest supermarket is 15 km away and about an hour away is a bigger town with cinemas, shopping malls, coffee shops, variety of restaurants, pubs etc.
Copenhagen is 3 hours by car or train, and also has the nearest airport.
The farm is a 6 km drive through the forest.
There is no public transport closer than the nearest town, but I can pick-up and drop by the station about 40 mins away.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
This is mostly a place for exchange with nature.
My three kids, friends and myself are likely to come here for short stays in a few weeks time.
There is a bridge by the lake for the traditional Swedish hot and cold experience. Two canoes for going out to the islands in the lake for camping, picnic, fishing.
Masses of films to watch on a huge screen on the loft. There are pianos and other instruments for those who play. Fully equipped kitchen for cooking enthusiasts.
Aide
At the moment just rolling out a ball of hay every 10 days until the new grass grows, and giving the horse a "brick" of special feed soaked in water once a day.

Local shopping town is 15 km away, bigger town 1 hours drive and Copenhagen 3 hours by road or rail. There is no public transport to the farm. I can drop and pick up at local station.
This is really out in the Swedish nature.
Best if you come to enjoy the nature.
