Overview
Hi there! My husband, daughter, and I are looking for a farmhouse or rural house to rent in Woolwich, Wellesley, Wilmot or surrounding areas. We are in our 30s and both work (I am a nurse and my husband works in the music industry). We both have farming backgrounds. We have two well behaved indoor/outdoor dogs. We are low key folks who love to spend time out in nature with our dogs (walking, hiking, gardening). We also have 15 laying hens with an 8 × 6 chicken coop that has an 8x12 run attached it. We are trying to learn more about self sustainability, gardening, canning. We would be happy to live in a farmhouse where there is an existing business but the house/surrounding yard is vacant or without this. We are non-smokers. Move in date is flexible: June, July or August. We are very community minded and would be open to living communally with other people (someone who owns a property and is in need of help with upkeep with yard work or animals or some light assistance with activities of daily living) given the right fit. We would need minimum 2 bedrooms but the house does not need to be large. If you think you'd have something suiting our needs, we'd love to chat with you and see if it would be a good fit!
