DESCRIPTION:
Stephen Overbury is looking for someone to take over his farm as he prepares to return to Japan.

Stu Mills visited him near Smiths Falls, Ontario to learn more.

But instead of selling it or renting it out, the 62-year-old is offering it up to the right person, in perpetuity — and it won't cost a dime to take it over.

Earlier this week, Overbury posted an ad titled "HARD WORKING POSITION WITHOUT PAY (honest!)" on online classified ad site Kijiji.

His ad offers "permanent use of a wonderful waterfront historical farm, four barns, a paved driveway, some equipment and a vehicle and, if necessary, free training to run a hobby farm," along with a "picturesque 1830 stone home in good condition."

But he has high standards for who will take over his picturesque farm on the shores of the Rideau River.

For one, Overbury wants tenants who have realistic goals for the farm and would "genuinely" make use of it.

They also have to be tried-and-true, "compassionate" animal lovers, which means not killing raccoons or any other unwanted creatures that show up on the farm.
