House-sitting in the valley in Monsanto, Portugal

  Description

  Hello hello,
  
  
  
  I am looking for people to do a house sitting for at least a month and possibly longer. You would be taking care of a cat and a small aquarium with fish and do a bit of watering in the garden plus about once a month water fruittrees (with a hose).
  
  You’ll have the house and 1,5 ha of land to yourself. Other than that you'd be free to chill and/or go explore the region..
  
  My place is off grid in a beautiful valley about 7 km from a town called Monsanto. (for the sake of having no misunderstandings, it’s the one land inwards and NOT the one close to the coast)
  
  There is solar powered electricity, a freezer you can use to keep your stuff fresh, kitchen to use,and water for the shower is strait gravity fed from an ibc, so not heated..
  
  I have some books in the house that might be of interest. There won’t be internet since that’s a sim card that will travel with me..
  
  Toilet is an outdoor compost toilet..
  
  This is more of a you get to stay at a house for ”free” (if you take care of the place) kinda deal rather than a work for food and accomodation.. I can provide you with some basic food like rice but that would pretty much be it.
  It is also best for someone with a car or some sort of transportation since it’s off grid, the closest shop is 5km away..
  
  This would be a perfect opportunity for people looking into the possibility if they want to live in this area without having to pay for a place to stay and/or want to get a taste of off grid living..
  
  If you have any questions, just ask 🙂 greetings V.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  I'm Belgian from origin, love to share culture and insights.. l'm also crazy about music.. I can share my insights and knowledge about what l've learned so far..
  If you want peace and quiet, you'll find plenty of that here ☺ the clossest shop is 5 km and it's about 7 km from Monsanto, the most portuguese village in portugal where you have a magnificent view in all directions. The clossest city is castelo branco, about 45min by car.. there is peña garcia lake at about 15 min by car and the spanish border is probably about half n hour away..
  I like to play games or listen to music, go exploring around and so on..
