Reviews and ArticlesWe couldn't have said it better ourselves...
If you've ever imagined the rat race receding in your
rearview mirror as you set out to live in the middle of nowhere like a rough-hewn
character from Northern Exposure, then you've probably also been
stopped short by a question as compelling as your vision: 'How the hell
would I make a living?'
The answers to that question appear in The Caretaker
Gazette, a bimonthly newsletter that since 1983 has served as a meeting
ground  and
help-wanted board for landowners looking for caretakers...
THE CARETAKER GAZETTE
matches property owners with caretakers to look after their spreads. 'For
those who are connected with the earth, but don't own land, caretaking
is an ideal career,' says Gary Dunn, publisher of the Boerne, TX,
newsletter. The May/June issue includes jobs on an Arizona horse ranch,
a goat-cheese farm in Massachusetts
and a Georgia farm 'with 15 acres of mountain land that needs clearing.'
IMAGINE STEPPING into a simpler life, situated on acres
of rural land, without a mortgage or rent to worry about. That is the
type of opportunity offered in The Caretaker Gazette, a bimonthly
newsletter that lists over 1,000 property-caretaking positions across the
country and beyond, as far away as Central America and the French West
Indies.
Taking Care of Caretakers
If you ever wanted to learn more about property caretaking opportunities,
have we got the newsletter for you. The Caretaker Gazette, published
since 1983, features job listings, profiles of fellow caretakers, and
letters to the editor. Most jobs are in the United States, but recently
there have been international listings in Central America and Spain. Written
and researched for landowners, interested
readers, and job seekers, the newsletter is privately owned and is published
bimonthly....
...The Hillses are among more than 10,000 property caretakers
working for camps, parks, nature preserves and individuals, according
to Gary Dunn, publisher of the Caretaker Gazette, a bimonthly newsletter
that takes classified ads from prospective caretakers and employers. The
field is growing, attracting recent college graduates and refugees from
the rat race, as well as artists, writers and
craftspeople--all of whom like to do their own thing when the day's chores
are done...

CALIFORNIA
CARETAKER NEEDED for a rural property south of San Francisco. We are 45 minutes from San Francisco and 35 minutes from Santa Cruz. We are offering a small, private, furnished studio (one room) cabin which has its own kitchenette, bathroom and its own garden. In exchange we are asking for 15 hours a week of handy person, gardening, and/or animal care on our farm. We are interested in someone who likes dogs and cats and is willing to care for them in our absence. The ideal caretaker will be employed (or self employed), reliable, trustworthy, and have excellent verifiable references. The caretaker must be financially independent and responsible, have an interest in repair, maintenance and/or gardening or willing to learn, and enjoy living in a rural environment, like animals and a healthy country place. The caretaker will appreciate a quiet life; be private, appreciate our privacy and will not have lots of friends over. (Sorry about that.) If you are interested, please let us know about you in an email, we’ll take it from there. Please email caretaker@caretaker.org and include these words in the Subject Line: “San Francisco Bay Area Position” so your message can then be forwarded.
