Responsiveness

Beautiful rural outlook to wake up to each day and a large deck to relax on with spa & views.

Assignment Requirements

We would love to find a retired couple who are happy to take a break from their travels on our lovely rural property for a few months next year, from March 2026 to mid-july 2026 - while we travel overseas.

It would ideally suit a retired couple who are permanently on the road and keen to find a coastal retreat to take a break, pull up & house-sit for a while.

We have a very comfortable contemporary home with stunning views & gardens on 9 acres in the beautiful Bega Valley, on the far south coast of NSW. We are fully off grid, so there are no water or electricity costs to worry about. The far south coast of NSW has so much to offer & see - from georgous beaches & tourist atrractions to quaint townships, great places to eat, fish, relax & all surrounded by National Parks & beauty.

In return we would need a couple who are happy to water our gardens & plants, mow lawns with the ride on mower as required, & care for our animals - 2 dogs (negotiable), a cat, some well trained chickens & also watch over our 3 gentle horses.

About the Area

BUCKAJO South Eastern, New South Wales

Suburb Insights

Buckajo offers a peaceful, rural rhythm, a quiet backdrop for caring for someone’s home and pets. Morning routines here often involve unhurried strolls down country lanes, ideal for a dog’s daily exercise away from traffic, or a gentle meander along the Bega River’s edge. The air carries the scent of eucalyptus, a constant companion as you settle into daily tasks. This unhurried pace allows for mindful engagement with the surroundings, from native bird calls to the vast night sky, creating a calm environment for any animal. Exploring nearby Bega reveals the region’s agricultural heart. Fresh dairy produce is plentiful, naturally, with local markets occasionally offering seasonal fruits and vegetables direct from producers – a good opportunity to gather ingredients for your own meals. A visit to a local bakery or a small café in town provides a taste of the community without overwhelming crowds. These outings are easily manageable during a pet’s afternoon nap, allowing for a quiet return to the comfort of the entrusted home. Life in Buckajo encourages a connection to the land and a slower form of living. Driving is essential here, providing access to essential services in Bega and the broader Sapphire Coast. The focus shifts from urban conveniences to the simple pleasure of a clear evening, watching kangaroos graze in distant paddocks, embodying the genuine, unassuming character of this part of rural NSW.
