Caretaker (Couple) - Gatlinburg, TN

We have a 3000 acre estate adjacent to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park with a primary residence, a two bedroom seperate home for a caretaker couple and two other guest houses. Our Daughter also has her own home on the mountain.

The job requires a clean and sober person that is a self starter "jack of all trades" who can see what needs to be attended to on the estate and takes action. At times wnen needed, the Caretaker will have extra help to maintain the property. The Caretaker will be more or less on call for any emergency such as loss of water, power etc, but generally 7 to 8 hours a day plus a half day on Sunday as necessary +/- 40 to 42 hrs/week. The caretaker's "significant other" will help my wife with general cleaning, bed making when we have guests, and helping with parties and events....More or less 15 to 20 hours a week. Both will be independent contractors per an agreement that outlines duties and responsibilities. 

A truck, reasonable gas allowance, all utilities, TV, cell phone, heating and A/C will be furnished plus a cash starting compensation of $1,300/month for a six month trial period going to $1,500/month after. Paid leave beginning at two weeks.

References and resume required and drug test.

This is a great job! We travel four to six months per year, so you need to be a responsible, mature in thought and action, couple. This can be a long term engagement or for a minimum of two years...We have over 20 miles of walking and ATV trails and a scerene place in between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg on a five mile trout stream that you will also manage for us.

Position could be open almost immediately or in May of next year - Your choice.
