Preference for someone who is home some days as the dogs need to be locked up when out

We have 40 beautiful picturesque acres in the Yarra Valley. Only 10 mins to Seville and 15 mins to Emerald. We have taken in rescue farm animals who are all treated as loving pets. We have 5 goats, 5 sheep, 1 guinea pigs, 2 pet pigs, 4 cows, 4 horses, 2 dogs and a scaredy cat that lives in the barn. All very friendly and love attention. They are easy to look after the main jobs are feeding in morning for some animals and again at night and making sure everyone is secure (put to bed). Doesn't take long. There are plenty of amazing wineries and tourist attractions nearby. We are looking for someone who loves all animals and will take good care of them all. It will be winter time so and it gets cold and wet in our area. We have a fireplace that keeps the house nice and warm.

About the Area

YELLINGBO Melbourne, Victoria
Suburb Insights
Yellingbo offers a distinctly quiet rhythm for your stay, deeply immersed in bushland. Your daily routine will be shaped by the sounds of bellbirds and the rustle of gum leaves, making pet walks a genuine exploration of local tracks. Expect unhurried strolls with your charges along the few sealed roads or nearby dirt pathways, where the air smells of eucalypt and the only traffic is likely a passing kookaburra. This immersive experience is the essence of living here. This is not a place for bustling café strips; amenities require a short drive. For a morning coffee or essential provisions, the small township of Woori Yallock sits a few minutes west. Longer weekend rambles might involve a drive into the Warburton Rail Trail network, allowing your pets a change of scenery on longer, flat paths. Alternatively, explore the quieter tracks around the Helmeted Honeyeater Conservation Reserve, respecting its delicate ecosystem. Your vehicle is vital for deeper exploration or attending to pet needs beyond home. Embrace this tranquil, self-sufficient lifestyle. Life here encourages observation; the most pressing activity might be watching resident birdlife from the verandah or tending to the garden. Your time in Yellingbo will revolve around the rhythms of nature and the comfort of the home you are minding.
