I don't know if this is even worth considering, but it's a thought that came to mind... (and no offense if it is totally not what you'd ever even consider...)
I used to be a fulltime RVer. It wasn't because I loved RVing so much, it was because Hurricane Katrina wend directly over our house at the time and did a bunch of damage. We ended up living in an RV in the driveway of that house in Louisiana for a year afterward and then when we had fixed it up to the point where we could move back in, we didn't want to live there anymore. It turned out that we lived in an RV for close to 12 years, fulltime, most of it without a house or property of our own.
What I'm getting at is that there are people who do what they call "workcamping" (I've seen variations on the spelling). There are often campgrounds that will offer a free place to stay for an RVer if they'll work x-number of hours for their campsite and utilities. There are places like state and national parks that offer a campsite with full hookups in exchange for someone manning a toll booth for so many hours a day or opening / closing a gate every day, that kind of thing. Or the task might be mowing or weedeating, or cleaning bath houses or picking up trash or sitting in an office or answering a phone, or mowing an airstrip. Seriously, there are lots of different things that campers do.
Thing of it is, they generally are only willing to work a limited amount of hours just for a place to park and not having to worry about their utilities. Once the hours get past about 15 hours a week, they are going to expect either something very extraordinary about their campsite (like right on an expensive beach) or they're going to want to be paid for all of their work hours beyond a certain number. $10/hr isn't an uncommon figure to see.
There are a few things that RVers do that are a little bigger, sometimes seasonal. There are campers that work for a large gas company that walk gas lines. Lots of work, but they get paid pretty well if they happen to like that kind of work. There are campers that will work in the north as a part of the sugar beet harvest doing various jobs. They work hard and they get paid well. My wife and I worked seasonally at an Amazon warehouse, basically warehouse grunts, for several seasons (like Sept through Dec) and had our campsite paid in full plus worked 40-50 hours a week at a little over $10/hr. Hey, between the two of us, and we worked the same shifts, we made a nice little nest egg to live on when we didn't have work for the rest of the year for a couple of lean years.
Anyway, I didn't figure you were looking for someone to come in fulltime and spend 40 hours a week taking care of your place. But if you had a place for an RV site that was nice and had hookups available, it might give the opportunity to see if someone might be willing to come and spend maybe the spring, summer and/or fall with you in exchange for a few hours of work. If you're wanting more work, maybe offer a stipend or some hourly dollars thrown in, maybe.
Never know, there might be someone who would love to be where you are but don't have the resources to live on a place like you have. Sometimes it can be just one person, sometimes a couple, I've even seen families fulltime RVing.

good for you Kat. Don't want to leave hubby but I am thinking about all the work around here that isn't getting any easier for either of us. So far the idea of assisted living is not a good one for me but at same time this wilderness type living ain't working out too good either. The forest is moving in on us. A couple years ago I'd just grab the machete or chain saw and hack down the trees and brush, well that ain't happening now. First time in 20 years I didn't double dig the raised beds this past Spring.

and yes POP, we have discussed this but you have given me more to think about.
