For the right person, Red Tractor Project will be a life time opportunity.
Red Tractor Project (RTP) is a rural lifestyle concept over 30 years in the making. RTP resides on nearly 400 acres in the foothills of Eastern Washington. Elk Heights Ranch is the historic location and former “dude” ranch adjacent to Washington State forest. The ranch over looks the fertile Kittitas Valley and the grand Yakima River Canyon. Snow covered peaks of the Stuart Mountain Range provide a magical backdrop. Existing infrastructure is a 7000 sqft timber frame lodge and 2500 sqft log guest facility. A large arena and pastures support an active equine facility.
The vision for RTP is to address the need and concerns of people interested in collaboration, sustainable living, and climate adaptation. Residents will live, work, and thrive there. Future elements include cooperative housing, alternative energy, alternative architecture, independent/sustainable food sources, community connection, and resiliency in climate adaptation. Activities include the hosting of personal growth retreats and life enhancement including yoga, relationships, food, and celebration. Located an hour and half from Seattle and just off rural I-90 Exit 93. RTP will host a day trip venue for guests seeking an eco experience and to hike/bike in the forest or ride horseback on a mountain trail. Visitors can celebrate their day with a wine or distillery tasting. City dwelling volunteers will be invited to steward the forest and connect with Mother Earth
Seeking quality candidate suitable for elevation to highest levels of trust and to become part of the “tribe.” Position will appeal to those with a creative and entrepreneurial spirit. You have developed life skills and look for a place to grow and nurture. Daily activities will not be boring. Should be fun and fulfilling. Those looking for structure you will be disappointed. Don’t worry the owners will guide you through the “gray” to success. Owners appreciate your learned skills but also places high value on intelligence, resourcefulness, common sense, and integrity.
Compensation: We can discuss numbers when we find out more about each other. Objective for this person is to start out as an intern and become a founding member. Although we have a huge head start, we think of this as a start up. The ideal person will have little distraction in their life so they can fullfill their passion at RTP. After some vetting, there is plenty of room to consider an ownership stake in the project. The lifestyle and income you desire will depend heavily on how you influence the project. The perfect candidate would become part of the succession plan.
Perks: Includes a quaint barn apartment, board, furnishings, internet, phone. And access to equine facility.
A “renaissance” type would be best suited here but if you have a social media or even an “influencer” skill set that would be great.
As this is a key position, compatibility is everything. If you think Trump someone to aspire to, believe climate change is not a thing, are dogmatic in religion, or believe the earth is flat, you can assume this is not a good fit.
Write a few sentences about why you think this might intrigue you.
