About Isabelle's Rest
A property that lives up to its name. A space of refuge and peace which needs people to nurture it as it continues to grow and prosper. This 4.6-acre farmette is just waiting for the right people to come love on it and help it grow.
Our busy beehives have produced honey for the last 5 years. There is ample space for gardening and growing a myriad of delicious fruits and vegetables. We guarantee your knowledge and nurturing will literally “bear fruit” and if you’re into composting, we highly encourage you to “dig in”.
Along with bees and farming, we are looking for the right people to help maintain the buildings and grounds, a zen garden, trees, and our happy barn cats. The right people are very capable in working outdoors, and self-motivated. You love the land and connecting with possibilities. You are grounded and looking for a place to grow, and this challenge excites you.

We are looking for two Part-Time Farm Managers. This is vigorous and rewarding work. There is nothing better than eating fresh food from the garden or relaxing in the beauty that simply exists around you here on the farm. The ability to lift 80 lbs and move it around is required as is being authorized to work in the U.S. As you’ll be living and working here on our property, we also need to be able to converse, so fluent English speakers only, please.
This is a chance to live in rural Boulder County on a beautiful 4.6-acre property.
Take a moment to let the opportunity sink in. And then think about everything you’d love to do to help Isabelle’s Rest thrive. We look forward to talking with you and are excited for the next steps on our adventure.
