Samford Valley Acerage


Dates are approximate at this stage, late March to mid September 2013.

The property is best suited to a physically fit mature retired couple. 4 BR house on acreage (5 acres) in quiet and pleasant semi rural area in Samford Valley at 20Kms NW of Brisbane. City train 8kms at Ferny Grove, nearby Samford Village has all town facilities.

Two of the bedrooms are set up as an office and a hobby room, and there are two other bedrooms. The house is most suitable for a couple without children.

The house has tank water and dams and the sitter will need to maintain the area of grass around the house and in front garden with a ride on mower, water some gardens by hand and water orchard with irrigation system and bore pump. Most of the block is bushland and requires no maintenance.

Some practical ability to maintain pumps and the irrigation pipe system, and some interest in and knowledge of gardening is essential.

The sitter pre pays /internet local calls only included (about $70 P/Month and will need to retain the existing and broadband internet services from Netspace) and electricity,(approx $300/quarter) no other outgoings.

A cash prepayment of $1,000 is required at the time of signing of the written house sitting agreement to cover these costs, which will be adjusted to actual costs at completion of the sit.

Smokers will NOT be accepted. NO PETS.

A written house sitting agreement based broadly on the standard form from the Housecarers will be sent to short listed applicants, for discussion, as general agreement on the terms thereof is needed before proceeding to an interview for engagement.

It will be necessary for the prospective housitter to meet with us for an on site interview and inspection of the property before the end of December 2012.

The initial agreement will be for the 2013 season, and such an arrangement could conceivably be in effect for several years, for the right couple, if they have cared for the house and garden to a satisfactory standard during the first seasons housesit.

Preference will be given to applicants with an established track record of house sitting and written references are essential. Please provide an outline of references (with contact details) in your initial response to enable us to short list suitable applicants.
