GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR OFF GRID HOUSE TRADE…. thirty minutes north of Taos, New Mexico with stunning 360 degree view of mountains
I’m looking for a dependable, honest and caring person to take care of the house and plants (once a week watering) while I’m traveling. The other responsibility is for my very mellow indoor dog, Kona, 17 years old. For this service, I’m offering this small, charming off-grid, alternative energy house free of rent as a trade.
I need someone from around Thanksgiving or Christmas through April 15th of 2011, but can extend it somewhat it in either or both directions.
The person needs to be a nonsmoker and not use perfumes and fragrances in the house.
This is a great opportunity to experience rural, off grid living,
Auto necessary — 4-wheel drive great, but front-wheel drive will do. I use an old Ford Taurus all winter.

I have been long enamored of your juan galan house, checking it out frequently for its sale and completion status. I had considered a trip to the Taos area and was thinking of contacting you to visit your house. I am a transpersonal therapist and your proximity to the Buddhist center has me salivating at the thought of a sabatical in your house next year..Jan-April…The opportunity to stay there rent free and tend to your lovely plants, dog and house, is quite the sychronous temptation. I have experience living on 80 acres with snow and rough roads…and I have some technical skills to maintain whatever might need maintaining. And of course I love animals, nature and simple living. If you were to select me could I rearrange my life in order to do this, I’m not yet sure…I’m sorry I can’t commit at this time…and I still may make a visit …but am wondering what your price is now and what terms you offer as well. I have a lot in FL near the water I am selling and then want something else for vacation for now and full time soon.

Hi Pat, I hope you come to visit. I haven’t increased the price yet — probably in the spring.
Cheers, John
