Woman in 30s with a mellow neutered cat seeking next housing opportunity. Nursery and fine gardening work will be ending for the season mid November and I will be transitioning to food service work for the winter, so proximity to Burlington is fairly important. Would be open to communities between Burlington/Winooski/Colchester, Essex, Shelburne, Charlotte and Hinesburg. Many land, house and animal care skills that lend well to partial work trades. An ADU or mother-in-law style setup would be most enjoyable but open to house shares with compatible folks. Winter income does slow a bit so looking to keep things budget friendly, not beyond $1200 inclusive of utilities. Please reach out with any info, looking forward to finding our next good fit! Thanks!
