About this house sitting position in Stockyard creek

We have a 4 bed 2 storey house with front and back decks, on 169 acres, with cascading waterfalls a short stroll away.

This is a house that is forever changing as i love renovating!

my new additions is a Harry potter room under the stairs, new laundry, new ensuite, new guest bathroom, and outside a deck and spa, fencing, and i am building an enclosed veggie garden/chook pen.

we are looking for someone who will twice daily feed of our two mares hay in morning and a hard feed late afternoon, and feed and play with our 2 dogs, Kelpie 3 years old called Coorah and Blue Heeler Bindii, she will be 13 months old in may 2021 so still puppy brain in adult size body, shes terribly annoying hahaha but just loves attention and playing, she can be very jealous of any attention given to Coorah. they need energy release so they go down paddock to the waterfalls to swim or just for a quick run, if even just playing ball for half an hour is enough. if you give them their energy outlet they are more settled and sleep.

We also have 5 chooks that Bindii and Coorah will Terrorize if let loose so i try keep them in yard when feeding up animals. chooks food just gets thrown to them when feeding horses in late afternoon.

We have a Norwegian forest cat called Archie whom is an indoor cat and lives in the loft room, thats his little palace up there. very low maintence snuggly cat.

We are also registered breeders of Abysinnians, and currently have mum and 4 kittens in downstairs enclosed cat compound, by time house sit takes place they will be 12 weeks, so will be climbing, exploring ect. And will love play time and cuddles!

We have 2 lounge areas, 1 upstairs where dogs stay and 1 downstairs where cats stay, there is a 3rd area on back deck which is my fave daytime chill area. so house is spacious.

It might sound hectic, but it's really about spending about an half an hour in morning and same evening feeding up the pets.

Although we live out of town on acreage, it is only about 25 to 30 min run into town of Grafton, the best bit is no neighbours :-)

We have satellite internet, a downstairs lounge room with big red leather lounge and a new smart TV with access to netflix and Stan, there is a nice local village pub, and a shop 20 mins away in Copmanhurst, and just round corner from the pub is the Clarence river which affords fantastic views, swimming and fishing.

In Grafton town itself their are lots of shops pubs and things to do.
be sure to check out the river and fig tree avenue, there are some gorgeous big old trees in Grafton.

Coffs, Glenreagh, Minnie Waters, Wooli, Yamba, Moonee Beach all close by and fantastic days out.
Grafton and Belligen markets are 3rd saturday of the month.

Our property will require driving on an unsealed road for 5 minutes..

Please also be mindful that there is no mobile service but we do have internet wifi, so you can use phones laptops ipads etc but won't be able to make calls or receive calls, so we have landline installed for emergency calls only.

I do hope who ever chooses to house sit enjoys the country living as much as we do, and look forward to corresponding with you.
