About

The property is a lovely 5 acres at Taradale, near Castlemaine and just over an hour from Melbourne. I have 2 dogs, 2 horses and 1 sheep. It is an enchanting property with 2 dams, a vege garden, and quiet areas to relax. The goldfields region has plenty of places to explore, including historical towns, bush walking trails, farmers markets, restaurants and wineries. The dogs, Jasper and Maddie need a little walk around the property in the am and they love to be played with. With the dry weather currently, the vegetable garden and home garden will need watering. There are portable fans for cooling as needed. The home is tranquil and a good place to come for some rest, reading, handcrafts, meditation and relaxation.

Pets & farm animals

The dogs Jasper and Maddie need a little walk around the property, attention and some play. I have two horses Dreams and Bandit that also like a pat, and some carrots or apples in the morning. In the evening they get some more feed I have mixed up. Otherwise, they are living on hay from round bales delivered weekly by the local farmer as we are currently dry. There is also a hand raised sheep 'Lamb-Baby' who thinks she is a dog/human and is rather assertive. She also gets a handful of sheep pellets for dinner. Some times she likes a bit of a pat and some attention, other times she might ignore new people.

House Tasks

Enjoy relaxing in the countryside. Walk the dogs around the property and feed them bones in am, meat and biscuits at night (around 5pm). The horses like a pat, and some apples in the morning, and a mixed up feed in the evening. And the sheep likes a handful of sheep pellets. The vegetable garden will probably need watering regularly with soaker hoses and the rest of the home garden too. These are the main tasks, feeding and looking after the animals, and making sure the garden is watered.
