Farm Caretaker Couple – Live-in Role | Flowerdale, VIC

Help steward a thriving, sustainable farm and enjoy a lifestyle rooted in purpose and abundance.

Are you a couple who loves the land, values simple living, honest day of work, and wants to play a key role in a meaningful, nature-connected life?
We’re looking for a hands-on, proactive caretaker couple to join us on our beautiful farm in Flowerdale, Victoria—a place built on values of self-sufficiency, regeneration, and community.

Over the years, we’ve turned this property into a thriving, financially sustainable ecosystem, selling firewood, growing market garden produce, raising livestock, hosting guests, and running hands-on self-sufficiency workshops. Now, we’re looking for the right couple to help us care for the farm and continue growing its potential.

 

About the Farm

  • Solar powered, energy efficient with water rights, irrigation systems, plus modern comforts

  • Integrated permaculture principles such as using sheep to mow paddocks, bees pollinate, and roosters building compost
  • Active income streams from firewood sales, Airbnb farm-stays, and sustainability workshops

  • Strong community support and a warm history of working bees and glowing guest reviews

 

Who This Role is Perfect For

A couple who:

  • Loves nature, mature minded with a down-to-earth mindset

  • Has practical experience in gardening, animal care, maintenance, cooking, some kind of trade or farm work

  • Sick of the current system and want to unplug from it to live a slower, more intentional/conscious life

  • Is reliable, respectful, solutions-focused, can-do attitude and open to learning new things

  • Outgoing and enjoys sharing their space with others (Airbnb hosting, community visitors)

 

Your Responsibilities

As caretakers, you’ll be involved in:

  • Looking after livestock (goats, poultry, etc.)

  • Maintaining and improving gardens, fencing, and infrastructure

  • Keeping the farm tidy and presentable

  • Coordinating tradespeople and volunteers

  • Cutting and selling firewood

  • Hosting Airbnb guests (cleaning, check-ins, occasional meals)

  • Supporting or helping organise workshops

This is a full-time lifestyle role, not just a job—each day looks different depending on the season and farm activities.

 

What’s Included

  • Rent-free, fully self-contained house with kitchen, bathroom, air conditioning, and wood heater

  • Paid position + profit-share opportunities

  • Access to fresh produce and natural resources from the land

  • A beautiful, meaningful lifestyle connected to the rhythms of the land
