| Firstly, thank you so much for taking the time to read this plea. We are a family of 7, currently living in Devon. For a long time we have longed to live a simpler and more fulfilled lifestyle and we have decided that the time has come to make that dream a reality - life is too short not to seize the opportunity for happiness! We aren't restricted to any area, so are looking nationwide. Our family consists of a married couple (married for 17 years), with 5 beautiful children aged almost 2, 7, 11, 15 and 17. Our perfect home would be a cottage/house/bungalow/liveable shack (!) with land, ideally a minimum of 5 acres for keeping a couple of ponies. We would very much love to be able to keep a variety of animals including free-ranging chickens, and a couple of dairy goats and to grow our own vegetables. Think self sufficiency and 'The Good Life' and you are kind of on our wave length. Both my husband and I are hardworking and outdoorsy types - I've spent years mucking out stables in the rain and snow, being up at 5am and finishing a days work at midnight - I am not seeing our dream through rose-tinted glasses, I know full well how tough and harsh such a lifestyle can be. I also know how much freedom it will allow our children to have - exploring nature, living and learning from the great outdoors. It is something we have strived towards for a long time and we want to finally create it in reality. We don't mind what state the property is in, as long as there is a roof over our heads. We are willing to decorate and fix up where necessary, so will consider any property in any state of disarray. The more rural the better. We need at least 4 bedrooms, or the opportunity to create 4, although the more the better. My husband is a qualified plumber so always willing and able to do any plumbing work that is needed, and he has also had building experience in the past and enjoys a DIY challenge! My teenagers are hard workers and indeed my 15 year old son adores working on the land from dawn until dusk. We currently have one acre of land to tend to and are seeking more to step up our dream of self-sufficiency and pony ownership. ALL offers will be very gratefully received and seriously reviewed. We aren't time-wasters, this is something we have wanted for a long time and we will be grabbing any suitable opportunity that opens up to us. We are long term tenants hoping to get involved in local community life and form strong friendships. We love wherever we call home and treat the property as if it were our own. Maximum rent is dependant on the property and opportunity offered but we are looking at around £750 per month. This could be increased if there was a way of gaining finance from the land or property and we are always open to part-payment of rent being in the form of work. If you have something available that you may think will suit us, we would genuinely love to hear details from you.

Regards and Blessings Julia |
