About this house sitting position in DALE (Locality of Beverley)
An opportunity to house sit long-term for a total of 8 months at a 4x3 big century old house on 50 acres along the main road. The farm is about one hour from Perth (Kalamunda) and close to the tourist town of York.
Dates: 23/1/2025- 27/9/2025
There is a couple managing and living in another house on the same property to call for help.
Two guest rooms each with en suite to enjoy.
The 2 dogs have about an acre fenced around the house to exercise w/o walking them. About 20 free-range chickens with their coops at night.
The couple managing the other part of the farm will use his ride-on mower to keep most of the grass down around the house. However, someone handy with the whipper sniper would be useful for parts where the mower cannot cut
We grow organic veg and young trees which require watering in summer. Enjoy the fertilised eggs and organic spinach, snow and honey snap peas, kale and other lettuces in winter. We have the seeds for you to sow in April/May. Enjoy walks up the hill and have a peaceful view of the rolling hills and green pastures and have a camp fire. We absolutely love our retirement hobby farm. You will agree with us when you stay here. We are taking a long break overseas. Read more...

The house is very spacious, the bed very comfortable, and the slow combustion firebox kept me warm through the winter months.
Jesse and Roxy were good companions and the chickens very generous with their eggs.
I have no hesitation in recommending Lawrence and Ann's charming home to any future house sitters.
Rod.
