A partner may also reside on the property only if the overall system continues to function well and expectations are met. When the owner is in residence, this includes: * Daily kitchen upkeep in the main house (light cleaning, dishes, and maintaining order—not deep cleaning) This is a condition of living on the property, not a separate employment role. Outside of this, the partner is not assigned ongoing duties. The employee’s performance expectations remain unchanged regardless of whether a partner resides on the property. ⸻ Important Fit Requirements * This is a live-in, on-site role * No outside employment * We are seeking someone long-term who will treat this ranch as their own This role works best for individuals (or couples) who are: * Self-directed * Focused * Comfortable with independence and responsibility ⸻ Compensation * $2,000/month base * $3,000/month if you bring strong skills in: * Plumbing * Electrical * Carpentry * Mechanical work Compensation increases over time based on: * Performance * Initiative * Longevity * Demonstrated care for the property * Loyalty ⸻ Housing & Benefits Included: * Furnished private residence: * 2 bedrooms, kitchen, living/dining, loft, bathroom * Porch, pond view, firepit, fireplace * Utilities: electricity, water, propane, internet * Ranch-use vehicle + side-by-side * Eggs and ranch-produced meat * Greenhouse access * Yearly: 2 weeks paid vacation after 6 months working (coordinated with owner presence) ⸻ Our Philosophy We are looking for someone who becomes a true steward of the property—not just an employee, but someone who takes ownership and pride in maintaining and improving the ranch.
