We are taking a year-long sabbatical and looking to share our homestead with the right people. This is a unique opportunity to try out life on an organic homestead in a rich farming community.
Have you been dreaming of living on land in the country but not sure if you want to commit? You can try it out, and have expert advise on all things from wood fired hot tubs to tropical greenhouse pruning.
What's Included:
2.5 acre property in Upper Rumsey
Furnished 3 bedroom, 2 bath house
Backyard straw bale room/office
Outdoor kitchen
0.6 acre organic garden with 1 high tunnel
1 acre mix of stone fruit, citrus, grapes and berries
Mini-tropical greenhouse
Wood-fired hot tub
1 acre organic olive orchard
Movable chicken coop
2 rodent-hunting cats
Possibly one old dog
Possible use of tractor and farm equipment can be negotiated
Good neighbors nearby
We are interested in renting our place for at least a year, from June 2018-June 2019. Responsibilities may include weekly irrigation of fruit trees, bi-weekly mowing of the grounds, bi-weekly weed trimming around trees, and keeping an eye on chickens and cats. We are a block from the creek and Rumsey Post Office, right across the street from Cache Creek Lavender and 20 minutes from the Hardware store in Esparto.
This is not a work-trade.
$2000 month rent includes mowing service
$1500 if you mow and can service the mower
If interested please contact us. tgettleman@mac.com
