Abandoned Farm House Tour - Part 1 

Anyone else? I thought it was Jess from Roots and Refuge with Eric from Simple Living Alaska in the thumbnail 😆 I was super confused! Glad I found your chanel ❤

My wife and I did some research on an old stone house that I was rebuilding and we found the local library in the county had a Historical Society that provided us with a great starting place. Tax records at your county office building will also provide some interesting information. In our case, the home was built in 1792 which came with a ton of history. It was located on an old dirt road that was rarely used and part of what was known in the early 1800's as the Newburg Turnpike in northeastern PA and at one point was used as a travelers Inn.

What a beautiful house you have found. Pity about the less than sound 1980 extension. But it gives you a fabulous opportunity to put your own mark on the replacement! I look forward to traveling along on the journey as you expand the possibilities of your beautiful home.❤

Okay, you’ve convinced me, I’m subscribing, holy cow! Firstly, you’ve bought yourselves a really cool place, I mean, how often can you find a place like this? You really can’t cheap out on additions to such a solid space like this, I mean, it’s a tank!

So glad your video popped up on my feed. I love old homes and you two have a gem right there. Very nice to meet you & I look forward to more videos. On top of all that it's in NC which is one of my favorite states. Lived in Candler, Hendersonville & Mt Airy back in the 60's & 70's and I just loved the mtns and the spring water was awesome to drink. Have a Great Day!

The original house looks pretty spacious and in great shape. I would just do away with that addition. The property is beautiful!!! I have an old farmhouse in texas its been a work in progress for 12 years it just takes time and money and patience. I love it though its a solid old girl!!!they dont build things like that anymore. God bless you on the journey looks like you found a diamond in the rough needing some love but oh what a treasure!!! Love from texas❤

Love the original log house &/ property! Lots of work ahead but one day it will be a fabulous home for you. ❤

If you'll plant pecan trees closer together, they'll hold each other up. I know that because I was raised in TX. Once you get done with the house repairs, you can look up the pecan trees. 😊

I just found your channel today and looking forward to following you. I like your farm and house it will be great when you get it like you want it. The Pecan wood is excellent for barbecue especially Chicken it has a mild flavor, but not too bitter like some others and by the way I like your brand of tractors and vehicles

A BEAUTIFUL HOME

At least with having to replace the addition you will be able to build it back to look or match better to the log home. It is a beautiful house waiting to become a home with love and care. Good luck.

It will be gorgeous when done

That tipped over tree could be some good firewood.

Great video. You got this! I subscribed.

A hidden gem! So much potential there. Glad I found your channel!

Hey! Yall came across my RU-vid feed and I am thrilled! Looking forward to following y'all's journey! I am on a house journey too but in a shed to house ... Living in it although its far from complete and pretty hard living conditions but we will get there! Im in my 60s so this is my retirement home. Ha that sounds weird it sounds like a nursing home. I live in my youngest son and daughter in love's backyard

The expression “don’t judge a book by its cover” comes to mind. Love the log cabin elements but boy oh boy you do have a job on your hands beyond that front door! I don’t wonder your wife was skittish in there! The great room has real potential and is just lovely with the two fireplaces. I’ll bet it’ll look fantastic decorated for Christmas.

Go to the company that closed your purchase. Ask them if you can sit for a bit to read your abstract. They may send you to an abstract company. Then, take your camera and learn the complete history of the property. I worked at a closing company and an “abstract” is all documents pertaining to your property, from the first purchase. Ours actually went back to before statehood (Oklahoma). Every deed, with the owners names, will be in there. This may not pertain to every state, but I have done this with every property I’ve owned.

Looking forward tosee your progress . It looks beautiful so much potential.

Wow that is going to be hard work but it's going to all look amazing when Complete xx

love the old cupboards in the kitchen, they look like they are salvageable, hope you don't destroy them, kitchen being the original should be easier to restore/renovate; hope you keep some of the originals; paint always fixes an awful colour good idea to remove the back of the house & start that again or just put the porch back on it lovely property you have bought yourselves thanx for sharing

Absolutely jess twin

Nice place, Tobaccoville, NC

Oh my God just show inside

Check with your County Assessors Office, for the history of the house.

Check the census bureau and all ownerships of the property

At ease, madamme. Your voice broke a little. Get familiar with that camera. I love homesteading people. I've got 15 hectares here. I used 20 percent on farming and grazing. I hope yer the best. Just subscribed. Watching from Christmas Island.

New to you're channel hi from Colorado Springs 😀

It needs a lot of work but doable. U guys can do it. Check and see if it has insillation. Then drywall.

Love your house. A long journey ahead but what a beautiful home you will have. If possible take the addition off the back of the house now that you are living in the house.

Exciting projects ahead. Looking forward to you sharing your journey. I see you have acres of solar energy to tap into. Yours?

🙋‍♀️👉🏻🇬🇧 Subbed 😃👍🏻

Go to your local city records Dept to get answers

Tax records are public. Good place to start.

What part of nc are you in? Im in smokies

Tax records, real estate transfer records, homesteaders records, go to courthouse, local historical society, seek older area people who have been in area a while. Study building style to date home.

Hey you are not living in a safe environment with the water damage you more likely have black mold and the critters poop upstairs isn’t healthy. I wouldn’t be staying in the house till that back in is off and the upstairs cleaned up. You need mold experts to assess the back of the home. Stay healthy and do it right.

When making a video don't keep worrying with your hair take care of that issue before starting it is very distracting , love the house
