About This House Sit

We are looking for an active couple, french speaking ( or at least one of you) and who are used to looking after an organic vegetable garden and generally maintaining a property. Daily maintenance of our organic vegetable garden plus the shrubs surrounding the house. Picking, preserving and freezing soft fruit, tomatoes and any other produce ready during the time of the house sit. Mowing ( ride- on mower) Strimming (Husqvarna petrol driven) around the property. Coping with any practical problems that might arise. Maintaining the small swimming pool. Lovely peaceful spot on the edge of village with post office and informal bar plus a boulangerie. Pretty wooden house on two floors built in 2012. Very sunny situation beside a GR walking path so people passing by from time to time. Wonderful walking and cycling '(bikes available) all around. Themines is situated in the department of the Lot between Brive and Figeac and ideal for visiting Rocamadour, St Cirq Lapopie, the prehistoric paintings of Pech Merle and the Dordogne, Lot and Cele valleys. Lots of local restaurants offering cheap lunchtime and delicious evening meals. 'Lagasse' is in the country up a short well maintained track and although you can easily walk to the village you certainly need a vehicle. .The villagers are friendly but apart from one couple they tend to only speak French! Our nearest neighbours are 500m away. Nearest shops, Supermarket and markets are 10 kms away. Our immediate neighbours are sheep! Note that looking after the veg garden is a priority as the garden provides most of our food. Yes
