Found this add on a forum and would like to help him out since it is such a nice offer. If you want to get away from it all this free house is a prefect getaway for a year.
Studio house, with a small full kitchen and a full bath, next to a pond that has been stocked with fish. The house is fully furnished, with a king sized teak bed with a mattress pad, fitted sheets and pillows. There is a teak table with four chairs and the kitchen has a full set of utinsiles. A 29 inch television can be provided for a deposit. There are four fishing poles and fishing equipment. There are also two concrete patio tables. The house is near Saraphi near Chiang Mai. The rent is free, under the following provisions. I would require a year’s lease. The person staying at the house would be considered a “caretaker.” They would be responsible for watering the 90 coconut trees, fifty teak trees (as needed) and the various other trees (banana, mango and papaya).
There is no internet but you can order a IPSTAR it also snow sometimes here. Tenants would be required to stay on property every night, with very few exceptions. If interested, email me at; d_decoursey[at]msn.com.
