Needed: help with cooking, light housekeeping, and caretaking duties.
The property sits on a park-like setting with no close neighbors, just 20 minutes from Bakersfield.
The guesthouse offers over 1,000 sq ft of space. Shared areas include a kitchen, living room, dining room, bathroom with shower, and laundry area featuring a new washer and dryer.
The entire upstairs is yours: a large bedroom with walk-in closets and a 1/2 bath (furnished optional), plus a sunroom with lake views.
Outside, you'll find a garden, greenhouse, pasture, woods, and trails. There are cats, kittens, dogs, chicks, chickens, and a small barn on 10 acres of pasture (room for your horses?). Kayaks and sailboats are available. Enjoy a sandy beach, boat landing, dock, and swimming area.
It's a small private lake with clean, clear, pristine water—so clean you could drink it. No zebra mussels, milfoil, or water fleas, and the fish are biting.
Not a farmer but love lake/cabin/country life. Aiming for self-sufficiency, virus-free, and drama-free. Room for gardeners, artists, crafters, musicians, or writers.
Rent is $600 starting next month, plus a $250 deposit, or free if you help. It includes basic internet, cable, and electric.
Consider free rent in exchange for 10 hours of help per week (40 hours per month): cooking, light housekeeping, yard work, and beach cleaning.
This is 420-friendly, but no drug addicts, alcoholics, or mean dogs. No hunting or shooting on the property.
