Property Caretaker - Jackson, GA

Our goal is a long-term caretaker. Right now we have a temp whose stay is scheduled to end November 1, 2018. However, this agreement is tenuous as it is more of a “house sitting” situation and might end before this date. Our priority is SECURITY, an active presence indicating that property is “occupied” and daily walking rounds of all buildings/vehicles/gate (not the whole 150 acres).

Necessary SKILLS : mowing, maintenance and carpentry, mechanical knowledge (upkeep/repair of vehicle/mower/rototiller). Prior to recent/current temps, our caretakers were with us twelve and seven years duration with brief (one -three yr) temps in between. We are a very active professional semi-retired husband and wife. Property is one hundred fifty acres of beautiful old growth woodland vistas, picnic/grill areas, outdoor film screenings, wildlife, streams, large fenced vegetable garden plots. It is for private (us/caretaker) not public use nor unaccompanied guests.We are north of Macon and south of Jackson, Georgia. Near two state parks and nearby fishing. Compound consists of two houses, one modular home, two mobile homes and a number of out- buildings, none within sight of others. Housing provided is two bedroom Horton mobile home with twelve by twenty four personal shop and ten acre “yard”. We are not there fulltime and our most urgent need is to have a full time observant, security- minded presence. Grass mowing (almost all of the land is wooded), emergencies (ex: storm) and small maintenance projects are expected. Have several major skilled carpentry projects to be negotiated if qualified. As there is no "town" nearby/few neighbors, best for someone who enjoys peace, beauty, total privacy and solitude. Need honest, mature person with love of outdoors, life and appreciation of this low pressure, unique, private, outstanding compound. No kids. No drama. An extensive background check will be done.
