This is a work trade situation, or a 'visit the farm' rental, or a mix, for a single or a couple. Permaculture background, a reverence for Nature, and, of course, some skills, are all pluses.

The furnished cabin has two or potentially three bedrooms, and one full bathroom (with a tub.) The kitchen is spacious. Cooking is on propane. Wood is the heat source. As we are off grid. Solar panels and a generator provide charging power for the electrical system. Starlink internet is available. A minimum stay of three nights is suggested.  Something longer is certainly possible. A minimal use of intoxicants is very much preferred. This is not a cannabis farm.

The location is 90+ acres in southeastern Humboldt county. Other than a few basic roads, and some scattered stumps from logging, the land was undeveloped when it became home nearly 40 years ago. The elevation ranges from approximately 1240' to 2000'. Over 80% is forest, with mainly oaks, also madrone, pepperwood, buckeye, and Douglas fir. The developed areas are at an elevation of 1340-1480 feet. The climate is mild with some maritime influence. The current farm animals are 12 ducks, 47 chickens, 10 chicks, two (ram) sheep and a cat.

The lifestyle here is pretty simple. For activities, there is an abundant variety of land, garden, and construction work to do. The property borders State and federal land so there also are possibilities for hiking. The beautiful natural setting is conducive to peaceful reflection.

Daily interaction would be with me, Gopala, as I am the active one in all of the construction and land related projects. My wife Lily is a retired midwife.

It is 25 miles to the nearest town. The trip takes close to an hour, and includes about seven miles of dirt road. Our trips to town are usually weekly.

Let me know about your land/farm experience.

Thank you for your interest.

My birth name is Scott West, but I go by Bill.  I am looking for a place to live in my 22' 2007 Mallard rv which is in good condition.  I have some cats.  I have about a year and a half farming experience and a lot of construction experience without becoming proffesional-my dad and brother are both carpenters and I would help them on projects.  I am a fair cook and baker.  I like animals a lot and get along with them superbly, generally.  I am 49 and am used to physical work.  I am in a tight situation.  I have been living on my moms property for about 15 years, but now she is selling for health reasons, and I need to find a place to relocate with my cats that are good little hunters.  831 338 2762  email: treplassaple@gmail.com
