The Once Grand 200 year old Abandoned Riddick Plantation in North Carolina 

This incredible old plantation was built in 1830 but the property dates back to the late 1700s.(The original house was burned down by British troops in the American revolution) And then wood left from that house was used to construct the plantation shown in this video. During the civil war times this plantation was a small town consisting of a school and even a post office. The history of it is actually pretty interesting. This was honestly one of my favorite explores, I can just visualize how beautiful this place would’ve been back in the day and still is now even in the shape it is in. Some of the coolest stuff I find is after I manage to reach the 2nd and 3rd floors around 8:30 in. For pictures from my explores My Instagram - instagram.com/kapppy_/ Thanks for watching everyone. Hope you enjoy it! Make sure to like, sub and hit the notifications bell if you haven't already so you know when my next videos out, Thanks!!!(:

Thank you for sharing this though it breaks my heart. The last person who lived in this house was Dillard Riddick and he was my grandfather’s cousin. I visited there in the 70’s during a family reunion. It was absolutely grand. Dillard took me inside the first floor and I was fascinated. Many of the furnishings were the original ones. Dillard’s mother invited all her great-nieces, which included my mom,to spend a week there. together in the summer. Mom (now 101), has wonderful memories of those times. When Dillard died the house was left vacant. It is so very sad to see what has happened to it.

I just have to tell you that your videos are by far, the most enjoyable! You take your time showing us around, your voice is calm in addition to sharing really interesting and historic homes. Thank you!

Vandals and thieves go hand in hand and I haaaaate them both! Thank you Kappy!

I'd love to salvage the furniture. Such a shame to see bits of history rotting away like that.

Its incredibly sad to see all the beautiful antiques left to rot. I wish it all could be rescued before it all gets buried as the house crashes down. U r so brave to make it all the way up but Im so glad u did. Thank u!!!!

What a beautiful house this must have been. Sad when you see what it is now. Someone has done his best to make something beautiful many years ago.

You are always risking your life for us. Thank you for all you do Kappy! We really do appreciate you!!. This place looks like a hoarders home. Noticed no graffiti. Sad to see what was once s beautiful home being is such sad shape. Why won't anyone go through it save the antiques left behind? Great explore Kappy! I think it's my fave so far.

This house is a treasure trove of 19th century furniture! Some of the furniture left to the ravages of time would feel right at home on Antiques Roadshow! I loved the lectern and the child's cart and the old advertising piece on the top floor were definitely quite valuable! This is the best collection of antiques I've seen so far on Kappy's video adventures. It almost makes one consider a life of petty larceny! The house itself would be easier to see without all the garbage and clutter, but it appears to be remarkably well preserved, in places at least, considering its age. Strange how one portion can be relatively intact and the other completely devastated. How sad that this could happen and nobody seems to care. The history of this once grand house begs to have a book written about it, especially as no one seems to have plans to preserve this treasure of a bygone era. Seeing these things happen to such wonderful houses makes me look around at my own humble dwelling and wonder if this will be its fate. Thanks again, Kappy, for saving these visual records for posterity.

What a lovely place it must of been in its prime and the memories it must have! As the old saying goes..If those walls could talk what some stories it could tell.

You hit the jackpot with this one. Another 10 yrs. & this place won’t be standing. Great find!

How can people just walk away from these wonderful homes? Breaks my heart.

With that kind of history it blows my mind why that home isn’t on some type of historical register. Just think if, before all the decay and distress, someone would have preserved it with all the item left behind what a treasure our future generations would have to see!!! Love your work Kappy!

What an amazing old house. I'd surely love to know what made them leave so much stuff behind--especially all the furniture. I'm assuming either people have come in and trashed the place after it was abandoned or else these people were hoarders.. Why so much trash and papers all over the floor? That's crazy... But this is one of my favorite explores... Such a shame to let such a beautiful home fall to pieces like this. 😓

Ashamed at how such beautiful old homes get left to rot away! Sad

Two amazing hosier cupboards in the kitchen. Double draining sink. Great old dressers. Geezzzz

It looks like it was a gorgeous house. I wonder how it looked just after it was abandoned and of course how it looked in its better days. I always have wanted to be able to see old abandoned houses in its original state.

the out side of the house, tell s of it grace.the in side tells of life long ago. great job.

I really like the clapboard siding and it still seems to be in good condition, at least under the porches. I like the whole house in general,very unfortunate that it has been allowed to fall into such a state of decay. Thank you for your time in presenting this. Truly a loss of history;once they are gone,they are gone. So many people would love to save a house like this,but often I think old places like this get tied up legal hurdles. There is always disagreement in how to dispose of the property, and so it just sits.

Even in severe decay, the beauty speaks.

What a beautiful place. Makes me sad to see it like that now. Thanks for the video!

Sad to see this beautiful house left to decay away like that.Please be extremely careful when exploring these places Kappy but thank you for taking the risk and getting to the 2nd and 3rd floors.So much old furniture left behind and so much crap everywhere.Makes you wonder how anyone lived there with all that stuff,they had to be hoarders

Really interesting, substantial old place. Wow! Nice kitchen chairs. Nice bedstead. Nice porch. Nice rocking chair! Shame boring folks have chucked stuff everywhere. Looks a bit hazardous. But you can see it would have been beautiful. A most intrigueing house. I don't know how you find them all. Any idea when it was last lived in?

great find ! she has a lot of fire and water damage but she still shows the great bones that made her a wonderful house! your right a LOT of antiques !

Boy, you find some VERY neat places!!! Minimal, respectful talking and NO dumb music!!! GOOD JOB!!!!

Once upon a time, not so long ago..beautiful and once full of laughter...

Urban Exploring with Kappy thanks for a another exciting video about the Massive abandoned Mansion / plantation w/ everything still inside & incredible Antiques . Kappy who owns this old house it does not look like any body cares about the place. it is very sad it wasn't taken better care of the place.. Kappy I was a little nervous when you started going up stairs the place did not look safe my friend please be very carful when you do these videos I don't want you to hurt yourself okay and I can't wait to see your next video and thanks again and God Bless my friend.

You did it again, another great spot and great cinematography. Kap, you just keep getting better and better. Thanks for posting such great stuff, >

Been looking for one of those embalming tables forever. Worth a boat load of money. That vintage embalming machine is incredible too. Wow. Amazing to find that.

This house should have never been abandoned. Too much important history to pass down to the next generation. A historical museum would have been nice with reenactments of special historical moments. It's nice when history is kept alive and treasured!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate to see a beauty like this just falling down. This is history.

Wow. Time and time again I am sucked in by your videos. This home leaves me speechless. The character is incredible, even in its ruins. Imagine this being a bed and breakfast. It would still be intact and show its history. I imagine it has been empty for 40 years or so. Surely a part of history gone like usual. So glad you got to video it before it was completely gone. Thank You as always

Love your videos! Also appreciate how respectful you are of these old houses, and their contents. You have a gentle touch and are so considerate to place everything back just as you found it. Love that you never take/steal anything. Thanks❤️

What an amazing video. I can only imagine living in that home way back then. Sitting on the porch, listening to the birds sing. No traffic noise, no neighbors, just me and nature. Well, I guess I can dream. It is so sad to see the antique furniture go back to Mother Nature. Right back to where it began. Great video. Great house. Loved it!!! Thank you for sharing. On to the next.

Thank you! My 93 year young Mother absolutely loves watching your explores of all these wonderful relics...she has an excellent mind and memory of the architectural past of buildings! Thank goodness she goes to bed early so I get some views in myself! LOL!🤣🤘💯

Pretty awesome find . Looks like there may of been more then one member of the same family group living here and perhaps the last occupant/s became a hoarder. I see so much pain here just to fill your home with stuff to try and hide from the problem . Terrible all these antiques and history will be lost unless someone gets to this home now like yesterday y . This house must of been gorgeous in its hey day . Thank you for the effort you took to go and film this beauty .

WOW! Kappy, this is a wonderful old place. Lots of history there. Wish some of the stuff could be saved before it completely rots. i saw the top of an old mantle weight clock peeping from out the bottom of a pile of rubbish. So sad to see this "Gone with the decay" place.

Oh and thank-you for doing what you do be careful and God bless

This is so sick and sad how this once beautiful elegant luxurious home was allowed to deteriorate and fall to ruins Kappy!... 😢

Wow..this is one of my favorites of your videos. Love that you gave that awesome history of the place. So many beautiful old antiques in there. The old cabinets,wooden chairs & that old rocking chair..just to rot away. It was just great seeing all the stuff left in there. I'm to old to do what you do, so this is the next best thing. lol Thanks so much & been careful.

I always have a hard time watching these videos..besides the fact that I wish I was there doing the explore, seeing such a grand old home just falling apart like that FULL of furniture just sitting there...it’s literally painful...

I can’t help but laugh every time Kappy goes “Oh my gosh”.

I love that Daisy Chest with green border !!!!

WOW this place must have been amazing at one time. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day

Thank you for sharing, such a beautiful old home. The outside still looks pretty good.❤️

Glorious old home that has seen it's day!😯😔Thanks for the video 👍

Thx again for another wonderful tour. Almost in tears. I can never wrap my head around how people can just leave all those treasures! Even if they couldn't afford to live there anymore, there were so many things that could've been sold or donated. Now it's impossible to save anything. Even if no will or descendants, someone could've salvaged things. So sad. :)

Great video! I just wish you'd sometimes open some of the books, or dig through things a bit more. We can learn a bit more about the people who once lived there...not too much of course, but a little.

Kappy, please take me with you. I'm from Ohio and I'd love to see some of these ole beauties ❤️

This is so awesome I love your videos keep up the work you are so cool this is my thing old old places it just reminds me of when I was a child up in the mountains a house set far off from everywhere this is great love it

I'd rather see the things in this house salvaged and the house demolished than to see it treated as it is. So sad. It was a beauty in it's day and still bears the remains with a melancholy demeanor. If people had maintained these homes they would have prize possessions now. Instead they let them turn to rot and decay. Thank you Kappy for a tout of a once magnificent home.

oh wauw incredible mansion, must have been so nice in the days. It definitely have been abandoned for decades. By the look of television and the coin saying 1964 is around the time it was left, what a shame.

Beautiful old home with cool history. From the looks of it, it seems like an old hoard. Very mysterious and cool. Thanks for sharing this kappy.

You always manage to find the most interesting houses! Here in the state of Washington, there isn't much that was built before the turn of the century, so it's really fascinating to see all these homes that have actually stood the true test of time.

Love your videos Kappy 👍 🙋🕊️ you do such a wonderful job of capturing the essence of these old places! Sometimes I revisit these places in my dreams!😁🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A massive early home. Very simple lines. Very little ornamentation. I wonder, is there perhaps an early cemetery on the property alone with so many of these early houses.

Interesting paint accent around the door lock hardware. Thanks for another fascinating video Kappy. Stay safe.

You find the best urbex locations!!......superb filming too!! Thanks, Kappy...keep em coming!!!

I really like your videos more than most of the abandoned place videos I’ve seen.

Love the board & batten in the kitchen & the unpainted ship lap

I hope you rescue some of those antiques! I hate to think of them just rotting away!

A great find Kappy, a very nice house and great old stuff, sadly the place is in a very bad decay, dont think a revisit in 2 years is possible, event those old antiques are in bad shape. But it is a place too remember loved watching it.

Thank you, Kappy, for making the effort---and taking the risk!---to go to each floor of the house. I'm glad you documented this house. I'm not an architect or engineer but it looks to me like some big sections of the house will soon give way.---One of the most beautiful houses I've ever seen and it's interesting to see how it's been added to over the years yet the interior seems to have had very little change over many years and some parts maybe no change at all.---I suppose that eventually the maintenance and cost of the house became too much for the owners and that eventually no one was willing to take on the cost and responsibility of caring for the house. I wouldn't be surprised if the family died out and maybe a distant relative became owner and sold the property to someone who wants the land rather than the house.---A wonderful place that could be the setting for a movie or novel.---Some of the interiors made me think of the paintings of Jamie Wyeth.

When I watch these videos I am always interested in the history of the mold houses. If I had inherited the house and I didn't want it (which I doubt very much) I would have taken the furniture rather than let it rot away. But then that's me I guess. This is so sad and disrespectful o the owners and the building which has so much history. I could never leave my parents or grandparents house to rot away.

Thank you for being so brave...

You make me so nervous going into a house when the floors are in such bad shape !!!!!! How could a family have so much stuff !!!! Hoarders maybe ????? Sad though , thanks Kappy just stay safe !!!!!!!!

It's hard to believe that all the places you show with contents that the State of anyone hasn't removed the valuable stuff. Incredible.... Love your videos. Keep them coming😊

I would love to save some of the old antique stuff before it's lost forever....so sad....Awesome work m8....joy find....peace from Down Under ✌❤

This truly was a great find!!! That bureau on the porch at the very beginning!!!! Would love to fix that up!!!! I could've stayed there all day just checking out the furniture alone!!! "Antiques Roadshow" material for sure!!! Love your videos!!!!!👍💚🙂

Wow! What a find!! Those massive chimneys are amazing! Thanks Kappy!

Seriously love this place. Too bad it isn't worth saving, however I would totally like to at least search through some of these rooms to see what could be salvaged and hopefully restored.

So much history. What a shame seeing the rubble and collapsing. Cool small antiques I the rubble.

Excellent explore! That is one cool plantation! Thanks for sharing!

Nice one Kappy, and thanks for the history too

Used to be a grand old place I'm sure!! Thanks Kappy 🙋 🌟🌟🕊️🕊️🕊️🌟🌟🌟🧞🧚👍

Great video...I enjoyed seeing all the vintage stuff left behind. Please be safe in your explores.

This is another great house! It is great to have the history. It looks like there must have been vandals there and that was a long time ago. I don’t think that the people who lived there would have thrown all of the stuff on the floor.

Im totally digging the double front doors!

Great video, this would be a antique dealers dream find!

Wow wow wow! Absolutely beautiful !!!

The double doors are so awesome! Love this home, must have been so beautiful! Thanks for doing what you do so others can see these old places ..

This one really bothered me. It was obviously a beautiful home. And to be left in this way is just sad. Nice video and your technique is flawless.

Loved all the old beds. What a shame.

Very cool 😎 lots of history remains there nice find thanks for sharing

I love how you document these homes.y cousins live on the farm my great-grandparents farmed. There were 2 almost identical houses on the farm, I believe they were built by Dutch brothers. I remember exploring the unoccupied house in the back as a kid. It was so cool. But they were not able to maintain it and it has been lost. When I was a child there was a bunk house by the main house too. A school house still sits in rotting fashion next to the main house. I wish we could have preserved these, but it is cool to remember still.

So many antiques so sad 2 Hoover cabinets in the kitchen all the different chairs so many very old things in the kitchen I loved the 3rd floor in her closet I noticed hanging on the door were shoes from the 1940's who ever lived there over the generations would be so sad that there house was left to decay thanks for a great explore loved it

Amazing what time and neglect does, looks like at least some was salvaged..stay safe..

Great video great find you’re just as curious as me lol I would’ve gone as far glad you were and are safe thank for posting 👏👏

Can't believe you went upstairs!!!

Simply beautiful

How tragic is the state of this gorgeous old home. It's probably gone now.

Another beautiful house Kappy! Thank you for showing the antiques. And man there were a lot of antique chairs in this house. I bet it was just beautiful in its day. If you ever make it to Northwest Ohio give me a shout out I will go exploring with you. ❤ Renee.

Awesome finding. 👍 👍 👍

Looked like an old riding coat hanging from the door on the first floor. I used to show horses back in the day and one of my old riding coats looked very similar.

great explore Kappy, this must have been one big beautiful majestic house back in it's day,,it's a shame that there's so much water damage to it now, that's going to make all the floors eventually cave in,, i'm a record collector and it pained me to see all those nice old country albums all going to waste on that bed upstairs,,great explore though,nonetheless , keep up the good work, be safe

I don't know how you do it, but it's yet another cool old house! Like everyone has been saying, these old places are so sad seeing them in the shape there in now! Always love watching your video's! Big pieces of our history in a lot of them. From the construction of them, and man some of them are real log cabins still standing! Incredible finds! Thanks for sharing!

Well done, Kappy! It's ashame the current owner let it get to that state. When I was there the floor in the front hall hadn't collapsed yet. I'm glad you made it out alive! Haha.

Horrible to see so much stuff & what was once a gorgeous plantation to now such a shape.. Kappy, If I may salute you, to walk among that mess & brave that floor, esp by the stair case, You Produce one Great video....

You can bet your grandma that this place has been turned upside down and searched. Very sad. Mantels ripped out, and anything of historical value are long gone.

Wow! That place is amazing Kappy.
