WHY DO WE SHOW EXPIRED LISTINGS?
Tremendous opportunity for a working couple to care for our estate in Loire, France. The Chateau is run as a second home for a family and a holiday/retreat venue.
The couple would be expected to oversee the 9 hectares of woodland gardens and the Chateau and outbuildings and also host paying visitors when the Chateau is let. Accommodation is provided on site in a one bedroom flat with kitchenette, lounge and en-suite. In total the Chateau is 10,000 sqft and has been recently refurbished. Principle duties for the couple would be to mainitain the grounds, swimming pool and running track in good and useable order, arranging local specialist assistance when required. In addition we would expect the Chateau to be maintained, tidied of rubbish and waste, and generally kept in good order (though specialist cleaners will be used when the building is let). The main season is March to October with major maintenance and refurbishment work conducted in the winter alongside Xmas visitors.
We are looking for a couple who are self motivated, have a professional approach to work, enjoy everything French and have an attention to detail. Some French would be useful, as would a background in building management or maintenance.
You will live at the Chateau rent free, receive an allowance towards food and drink and a competitive salary. We are looking for a couple to start between November 2018 and February 2019. Further details are available on application.
