About this listing

AVAILABLE FOR FEBRUARY 10th​,​ within 1 hour of Boston​,​ the largest city on the North Eastern seaboard of both the USA and Canada. 15 minutes to major secondary city in the region​,​ Worcester. There is a major mall and some large towns within 10 minutes drive. This town​,​ though very close to major cities is rural. Giving you the best of both worlds. We are a small farm on 5 acres. Space for your kids to play outside​,​ green space​,​ park like setting. I have 2 rooms available and a private bathroom. 1 room offers a queen bed with a nice bed frame. The other offers a queen bed on the floor. Up above the room with the bed frame is an empty attic you can fill with what you collect for when you move out on your own. Only you have access to this attic space. The bathroom is not fancy. It is older​,​ but it functions and it gets professionally cleaned once a week. The room with the bed frame also offers a dresser and a small closet. Both of my available rooms are small. You would have a wing of the second floor all to yourself. I have secured​,​ a job for you if you want it. It is a long commute 45 minutes each way. And what you would be doing depends on your english level. It could be an office job​,​ working in a chemistry lab​,​ a sales job​,​ any number of other varieties of job​,​ or it could be scrubbing toilets depending on your ability to read and function in English. The great thing about this job​,​ is it will pay for your ESL classes so you don't have that expense. You could work part time or full time​,​ you could quit when you are ready to move on or keep the job and move closer to it. Or​,​ you could use the car to find a more local job and pay for your own ESL. Around here no one seems able to find enough employees lately. How would you get from a rural town and travel 45 minutes into the big city to work and get free ESL classes? Very simple. You will drive the car I have acquired for your temporary use while you stay here. This community has your back​,​ and they have stepped up with a loaner car you can use. We are happy to add you to our insurance. A roof​,​ a job and free ESL​,​ a car​,​ attic storage​,​ food​,​ and a private bathroom. Boston​,​ and MA are known for the movie Jaws​,​ which was filmed here. Also filmed here​,​ The Mystic River​,​ Good Will Hunting​,​ The Departed​,​ and Practical Magic. TV shows filmed here include Boston Legal​,​ The Practice​,​ and Allie Mcbeal. Harvard University and MIT are both here. We are one of the top 3 states for education. Leonard Nimoy (Dr. Spock) was from here. Conan O'brien was born here. Aerosmith lives here​,​ New Kids on the Block are ours (sorry bout them.) We are known for the Salem Witch Trials​,​ the Boston Tea Party​,​ and John F Kennedy. Our marathon got bombed a few years ago. Watch out for Charleston​,​ that area is known for it's bank robbers. We are obsessed with Dunkin Donuts​,​ and rocks.. We even have a rock related to ghost pirates​,​ among a number of other well respected rocks​,​ such as Plymouth Rock where the Pilgrims landed. The first Thanks Giving was celebrated here. My husband and I live here and you would share public space with us. Some of your food is covered while you stay here​,​ eggs from the chickens who live in a coop out in back​,​ some vegetables from the garden​,​ I am presently hoarding wheat as we are expecting a major shortage because Russia invaded your home. Feel free to use my kitchen​,​ it offers just about every kitchen toy you can imagine and has a gas stove and a dish washer. Expect projects in the kitchen​,​ I am always baking something or making something. Free washer and drier on the first floor... Beautiful patio.... We have 2 dogs. The largest is 117 lbs​,​ both our dogs are friendly and they hang out on the furniture begging for cuddles. My husband works as a software consultant​,​ I do most of the farming. This place is a sanctuary​,​ when I came here I needed to do some healing. I did my healing​,​ and now maybe this place can help you to? I make many things​,​ soap​,​ pasta​,​ whole wheat sour dough bread​,​ face scrub​,​ and much more​,​ including some of our household cleaners. I grow and process food and preserve it with my water bath and pressure canners. Our goal is to be self sufficient on our 5 acre farm. We suck at self sufficiency though. All the same​,​ though we fail​,​ we still make a concerted effort that does make us more self reliant than is typical. Burn out is real. We do use stores and more standard methods of convenience for some things also. My background is in music and archaeology​,​ I am also certified by Cornell in herbalism. My husband holds a PhD in physics from Helsinki University​,​ he didn't immigrate till his mid 20s​,​ he too has shared a border with Russia​,​ his family still does. We have no children. Just dogs. Covid is a major concern for us. To stay here you must be vaccinated and remain up to date on all boosters. This goes for children who leave the property and return as well. I have asthma​,​ I don't mess around with this virus.
