Help with Gardening, horticultural, building and woodland mini projects and tasks. Also producing, picking, harvesting, preserving vegetables, fruit and nuts. The list is long but help and projects will be discussed and decided on suitability and ability/desire, and time of year.
Fire pit, BBQs, pizza oven, swimming, hammocks, chilling by the river, siestas on the terrazzo, walks in the woods etc are all optional. The orchards, woods, river, pool etc make this an ideal place just to be.... kites, buzzards and numerous other birds, cinghiale, foxes, deer, hares, fireflies, lizards etc all help make this a wildlife paradise. There are great walks, mountains to climb and ski, and sandy beaches an hour away.
Although the accommodation is fairly basic, if being outside with wildlife, amazing views and clear night skies perfect for stargazing appeal to you, then you will like my field of dreams as much as I do.
There are regular trains and coaches from Rome to Chieti. If required I can pick helpers up from Pescara airport or Chieti train or coach station which are an hour away for €10.

There are many things to do here and several mini projects I would like help with completing.
Currently I do not have any pets or animals, apart from 2 bee hives. I produce a lot of my own fruit and vegetables and harvesting and preserving at times is a priority. So a list of possible help I would like would include: general gardening, weeding, grass cutting, vegetable garden, harvesting (and eating!) and preserving apricots, figs, peaches, plums, apples, pears, pomegranates, persimmon, mulberries, loquats, soft fruit, eating olives, strawberries, almonds, walnuts etc. collecting firewood, clearing pathways, cutting ivy, river bank maintenance, stone picking and rock clearing, ditching, dry stone walling and various garden projects. In the house there are walls to knock through, a new bathroom to install, doorways to move and make etc.
The list is long but help and projects will be discussed and decided on suitability and ability/desire, and time of year.
The house is a 3 storey 3 bedroom 120 year old farm house. There are 2 bathrooms with 2 showers and also a solar shower by the pool. A spare bedroom will be available for helpers.
If you want to camp there are some lovely places to pitch a tent or park a campervan.
Basic food will be provided, mostly vegetarian. Breakfast and evening meals. We can either cook together or alternate. I bake my own bread, make yogurt and eat lots of pasta, fruit and nuts.
Pescara Abruzzo airport is an hour away. Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International airport is located in the Italian capital, Rome.
There are regular buses and trains from Rome to Chieti.
There are some flights to Pescara Abruzzo airport.
Drive, cycle, walk, teleport....
I can pick up from Pescara airport or Chieti train or coach station if required. They are an hours drive away and I will charge €10 for fuel.

The orchards, woods, river, pool etc make this an ideal place just to be.... kites, buzzards and numerous other birds, cinghiale, foxes, deer, hares, fire flies, lizards etc all help make this a wildlife paradise.
There are great walks, mountains to climb and ski, and sandy beaches an hour away. No air pollution. No light pollution. No noise pollution. Although the accommodation is fairly basic, if being outside with wildlife, amazing views and clear night skies perfect for star gazing appeal to you, then you will like my field of dreams as much as I do.
For over a year and a half now I have been living here by myself in a bit of paradise in Abruzzo, Italy, with fantastic views of the Maiella mountains, Palombaro and Casoli. My house is quite secluded but I have neighbours about 400m away and a shop and bar about 1km.
I have lived here for almost 4 years but there are still a lot of renovations to be done as I have been concentrating on the land, the orchards, the woods and the river. (Oh, and away sailing my boat) I have been planting trees, hedges and flowers, clearing pathways in the overgrown woods, making a riverside walk, making a potager garden, installing a swimming pool, and even making a small golf course!
Before coming here I lived and was based 3 years on Corfu and before that I was sailing the Mediterranean for 3 years. I try to make the most of every day, smile as much as I can and have fun. If I hug at least one tree my day is complete.
