Description
I'm renovating an old farm in Haute-Savoie. I would like it to become a self-sufficient home and transform the land into a permaculture garden.
The farm is in a small hamlet belonging to a larger village, it is on the edge of the forest and a protected natural reserve.
There are lots of fabulous walks, climbs to do in the Summer/Autumn, all type of skiing, snowboarding etc during the Winter.
We are 39kms from the Swiss border, Geneva and 1/2 hour to the well-known Chamonix.
There are lots to explore in the region.
I am in my late fifties and realized that the project is much more demanding physically than I thought so would love to find some help.
We are a non-smoking home so smoking would be ok outside only.Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

You will be living in a beautiful set-up, in a 1800c farm which has kept most of its original features.
The farm is part of an unusual village made of 11 hamlets on a high plateau, above there is a nature reserve.
360 degres views of the french Alps.
You will experiment a way of living close to nature.
There are amazing walks to do , mountain biking, climbing, bathing in waterfall, skiing in the Winter.
You will be able to learn about the French culture and language.
You will learn how to grow a permaculture garden high in the mountains.Aide

A cosy wooden bedroom in the farm. 2 meals a day will be provided (breakfast and late lunch, or brunch and dinner). I am mostly vegetarian but my flatmate does cook meat so we are flexible about the food.
Our food is mostly organic and definitely good quality.Autres infos...
