Description
We are in search for an experienced property caretaker to start ASAP for a beautiful 100-acre property with multiple cottages. The caretaker must enjoy being hands-on, working outdoors in all four seasons and have previous long-term tenure in a similar position. There is no set schedule so it's important that the caretaker create his own schedule based on what needs to be done seasonally to keep the property well maintained throughout the year. Although there is no set schedule, the caretaker should expect to work FT hours and flexible to work on some weekends if necessary.
Duties include but are not limited to the following:
Maintenance, supervision and security of property
Opening and closing seasonal cottages
Grounds maintenance and lawn care
General handyman skills
Splitting and stacking wood
Operating outdoor equipment
Helping guests with luggage
Running errands
Stocking supplies and equipment
The caretaker will need to be well organized, a self-starter and should not have to be told what to do. He should be detail oriented, able to plan ahead and keep a clean and organized workspace. Ideal candidates should take pride in their work and able to follow instructions well. This is the perfect position for someone who loves being physically active and who is in excellent health.
The caretaker's cottage is a few hundred feet from the principal's main estate. It's a 2/bed 2/bath with an enclosed back patio. The cottage is fully furnished but the caretaker is also free to bring his own furniture. Small pets will be considered based on the quality and experience of the candidate. More details and photos of the cottage may be shared with qualified candidates with outstanding references.
