Property Caretakers for Waterfront Estate on the Central Oregon Coast

This position is for a couple. The primary duties are care and maintenance of the grounds and homes and weekly cleaning of the main house which has two occupants and pets.

Other duties include water management/maintenance for our spring fed cisterns and creek, refilling propane tanks, automotive/rv care (washing vehicles, emptying tanks or taking them for service), maintenance of riprap sea walls, etc. 

Housing on the estate can be provided and will be discussed in detail with qualified applicants.

The property is a waterfront estate on 5 acres with a main home and a guest home. There are extensive grounds which require significant upkeep.

There is sufficient flexibility in the timing of these duties to allow for outside employment for least one of the individuals, as the provided housing will be the majority of your compensation if housing is desired. If you are digital nomads, all the better.

Additionally, individuals skilled in cleaning or maintenance who would like to take on additional hourly work will have opportunities to work at our other properties in the area.

Benefits:

Live by the water on a gorgeous Bay. We have a temperate climate and the temperatures in our microclimate are generally 10° warmer than along the coast.

Incredible recreation opportunities. Crab or clam directly from the property or fish for salmon along River. The Ocean is an easy walk down the beach at low tide, or can be reached in about two minutes by car. There are numerous state parks and hiking trails throughout the area.

Abundant wildlife outside the front door. Harbor seals, river otters, bald eagles and loons are all outside your front door.

Secluded yet close to conveniences. The property itself is like being on a private island with no neighbors, and is secluded behind a gated entry. But the closest town with all necessary amenities is less than a five minute drive away. Because of the secluded nature of the property, a car is required.

Housing can be included.

Required Qualifications:

Experience in landscaping

Experience with maintenance and light carpentry

Experience with professional cleaning

Successful applicants must both pass background, criminal and reference screenings
