Looking for someone (or a couple) who appreciates quiet country life, sustainability, and hands-on living.

What You’ll Have:

  •   A private 2-room off-grid cabin with compost toilet or outhouse
  •  Wood or propane heat (your choice, not included)
  •  Strong cell signal for internet
  •  Total privacy with incredible mountain views
  •  Space to grow your own food or small crops — profits are yours to keep

What We’re Looking For:

  • Animal care (dogs, goats, chickens)
  • Seasonal driveway plowing (truck provided)
  • Light carpentry and repairs (sheds, fencing, etc.)
  • Basic gardening and upkeep
  • domestic chores (cleaning, laundry, cooking, etc.)

This is a long-term, year-round position. I handle some of the work myself, but you’ll be the primary caretaker, especially when I’m away.

Preference for couples, particularly if one person can assist with domestic chores such as cooking or cleaning. Children and some pets are welcome, provided the lifestyle and responsibilities are a good fit.

You’re also welcome to farm or garden on the land for your own profit—just share a portion of what the land produces (e.g., food or forage).

To Apply:

Please email & share a bit about yourself, your experience, references, and whether you’d be coming solo or as a couple.
