Farm Manager - Part Time - Household Manager

This is a dynamic, high-functioning farmhouse environment on 70 acres in Valley Mills, Texas. The household includes a variety of animals (horses, a Jersey cow, dogs, cats, and small pets), multiple outbuildings, and ongoing home projects tied to maintaining and improving a historic 1870s limestone property.

The family is looking for someone who takes ownership someone who walks in, sees what needs to be done, and handles it. This is not a task-by-task role. It’s about creating consistency, maintaining order, and helping the household run smoothly without constant direction.

This is a long-term opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on work, values independence, and thrives in an environment where no two days look exactly the same.
