WHY DO WE SHOW EXPIRED LISTINGS?
We have recently purchased nine acres of land, which we plan to develop over the next two years. We will be building a new home and developing a hobby farm. There is currently a house on the property, which is available for the caretakers to live in. We will not be moving to the property for the next two years, though we will be visiting regularly.
During this time, duties will include caring for two Colorado Mountain Dogs, 3-6 alpacas, and one goat. More animals (sheep, cattle, pigs, poultry) will be added to the property once we move there. There may be some heavy lifting and hauling, handling alpacas, so the couple should be fit and healthy. The new house we are building will have 4 rooms for rent on Airbnb, which the couple will help to manage.
If you love to hike, fish, camp, and bike ride, Colorado is the place to be. The property is very quiet, with 360 degrees of stunning mountain views. If you want to live in paradise and live close to amazing towns and cities, this is your chance. The property is 10 minutes from the funky town of Lyons and 30 minutes from Boulder, Longmont, Loveland, and Estes Park. It is an hour to Fort Collins and Denver.
Please note: This is not a paying position. The couple will take care of the property in exchange for living rent-free. Duties should only take two to three hours a day, allowing couples to work other jobs.
