This housesit is for my house that is on a farm. I do not own the farm as a whole, so there will also be some need to communicate with the owner on a regular basis and also the possibility to also meet the owner before taking up the housesit, since you will be neighbours! Then, when I am away, some of the time you will liase with the owner about anything she might need assistance with. For example, this may be something such as collecting a box of oranges from the orange grove, when there are lunches or events at the farm, or collecting feed for the farm horse (named Maurice).
Likely chores on a regular basis will be, feeding chickens and opening and closing them at morning and night, collecting eggs, feeding hay when needed to donkeys, horses and sheep. Watering fruit tree saplings and plants, feeding the farm dog (a big friendly mountain dog called Cheese) also feeding the cat.
If you are willing and able to use a strimmer / weed whacker, then there will be some occasions when …

If you are willing and able to use a strimmer / weed whacker, then there will be some occasions when this is needed along the driveway.
There may be additional gardening working such as weeding, generally keeping the place reasonable, or possibly something like painting or fixing the odd piece of fencing. So a little bit of knowledge about these things is useful.
Anyone who thinks they may be a potential housesitter here, is welcome to come and visit for a day or two. My work schedule at the moment and that of the farm, means I may not be able to host more than a night or two but I am more than willing to combine that with a free afternoon to show you some of the local area. Also, if you just wish to visit and perhaps not so interested in the housesit, that is fine also.

The house is a traditional Portuguese style rural house. Modest size but large enough to be comfortable. Open plan kitchen and living room with fireplace, one larger bedroom and one smaller bedroom / study, then bathroom and shower.
There is internet by cable in all three rooms and all are in a good standard of condition. More photos to follow. asap.
The location is on the edge of Arrabida Natural Park and and also Lisbon 25km away, is accessible by bus or train easily.
The house is on an old cheese farm and so, this is the "working side" of the farm, ie the farm yard area. next to the main buildings. The farm is an old cheeese producing farm, that worked to a large capacity in its day but now receives tourists to the small museum display and holds presentations and demonstrations of cheese making for guests, also the farm holds various events as well. During these days, the farm will have some activity, other than this, it is quiet. The owner of the farm is like a "neighbour" that lives on the farm …

Being a farm, there will be some basic chores as well that go with the housesitting to keep things ticking over. It will equate to around 2 or 3 hours per day, so this will suit someone who has lived on a farm previously. For example, a regular chore is feeding chickens and collecting eggs from around a dozen hens. or watering fruit tree saplings.
The rest of the time, the house has the peace and quiet ideal for your own projects.
Ideally, perhaps, someone with some visitor knowledge of Portugal but not essential, more essential is probably at least some previous experience of being on a farm.
This is a farm style traditional Portuguese house. It is functional but also comfortable and recently re tiled floor, modern window fittings and so on.
There are extra heaters should the be needed, apart from the fire place. The housesit will likely be in summer though. The house keeps very cool in the day (as it is a stone house and can be warm once the sun goes down. All perfectly normal for this climate.
There are no mod cons in this house. The only "modern" things are the internet via RJ45 cable in three rooms and also the electric boiler. The cooker is a gas bottle fed as is common, they usually last around 6 months.
I have lived in this house for around two and a half years in that time I have kept it in a good way and re painted and made some repairs.
Since I have been here, I work most of the time and am also I compose music and work on other personal projects in my spare time. So there is not a library full of books here, …

Since I have been here, I work most of the time and am also I compose music and work on other personal projects in my spare time. So there is not a library full of books here, I have a few but I spend my time either DIYing, repairing old furniture, making things with my hands, gardening, walking, composing music, making some art and so on.
There is in summer, the possibility to swim in a large freshwater tank that are common here. The water comes from an underground spring source and the tank is like a giant swimming pool.container that keeps water for irrigation and for the buildings on the farm Again its not luxurious but it is certainly nice in summer to dive into !

The Farm and house is rural enough to feel like being in the countryside, with Arrabida Mountains close by but also, with a small town ten minutes walk with buses to Lisbon, or to the next largest towns, Setubal and Sesimbra are 25 minutes on bus. it is ok for someone without a car.
The largest regional monthly market is held in the town on the first Sunday every month, there are also regular flea markets twice every month.
So you have the chance to explore and hike the area a little as well as get to beaches and towns close by.
Ideal for someone who is looking for a bit of peace and quiet but not totally isolated in the middle of nowhere.

There is a chance for some more high culture to visit Lisbon and obviously for a capital city, there is a lot going on. The city is busy with tourists all year around and locally to Lisbon, there is Sintra, a very popular destination for the palaces and gardens. If you wished to take one or two days off exploring, this would be ok as arranged with me or the owners of the farm.
There are also some places of interest closer than Lisbon. For example, there is a "music mechanisms" museum reachable by car.
Setubal City also has a venue called Casa de Cultura with various music, art or theatre events.
