I can just imagine how happy the owners must have been on the day they spent their first night here, so long ago. Beautiful scroll work on the front porch pillars. Wish I could go back in time when this was new, to see the happy family that called this home.
These types of old farm houses are always more interesting to me then newer abandoned houses. I always wonder what life was like for the people or person that lived there.
Amazing what was still in that house. You have changed the way I think about these old houses when I see them now. Even if they are in bad shape outside they still can have treasures that tell their stories inside. Awesome explore as always. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
Agreed this one felt especially sad with the way everything had been moved from upstairs to the lower level as if they couldn’t make it up the stairs anymore, thank you very much for watching!
That's the kind of thing I think of when I see old places. Every one of them has a story of those that came and went before. I get sentimental not even knowing who they were.
As a new subscriber I can't tell you how thrilled and relieved I am to discover a community of people who appreciate abandoned historic homes as much as I do. When I saw this house it took my breath away, it greatly resembles a very old house I once owned in WV. My soul remains there. Thanks so much for the memories!
So sad but yet so beautiful. The old curtains look like they date from the 50’s and the old tv! At my age, I would consider them antiques. Lol! Thanks Kappy for sharing another wonderful find. Can’t wait for the next one. Wishing you a very blessed and wonderful day! 😊
It's sad such a large house had to have a large family at one time and it appears there was only an old man left. It's also sad it didn't have to be in this condition with just a little care and a good roof. We see so much abandonment of home's and farm's makes me think of society in general that family values are disappearing! Thanks kappy great find as always!
Rural areas are emptying out to urban areas. Find abandoned homes everywhere in isolated places in rural areas, no jobs for young folks, they leave. Read "Broken Heartland, The Rise of America's Rural Ghetto". I've been watching this trend for decades now and noticing the increasing number of grand old homes in my area fall into decay as the owners age on fixed incomes. Plus retrofitting/heating older homes, especially neglected ones, can be very expensive.
@@williebeamish5879 I know I to have watched it for decades and now we're watching cities filled with thousands and people living on the street's . Not only is it sad but senseless!
I believe this home can be fix up. Replace the roof and board up the house. One year had the wiring all gone through. Another year do all the plumbing. Another year or two had the furnace replace the hot water tank. And do a little bit of the painting and wallpapering and cosmetic on the inside and out. Then it's ready for your retirement home. I personally think it's a sin that place like this go to pot.
The old man may have been very lonely and it's the vibes left behind from him that gives the place a sad feeling. The fan on the kitchen table is probably still good it just needs cleaned and oiled. Thank you for the video Kappy.
Sometimes I get really sad seeing an old granny's house going to hell!! all the nice stuff still in it!! Why don't the kids, if they don't want it at least sell it!!! it's in beautiful condition!!! Vandals have broken a window or two, but that will let the rain in, and it's destruction will begin!!!
David Brown He may well have been lonely, but that enchanting view out the windows -that beautiful rural setting would have soothed me with solace. There are places where solitude trumps loneliness. This looks like one of those kind of places.
Still looks good from the front. N the front yard has been mowed. Just a waste if a once beautiful how one. You keep finding them Kappy n I keep loving them. Stay safe out there. God bless
What a great house. You put so much focus and compassion into your explorations. It’s so sad to see how this house decayed so much. Thank you for sharing this video.
Pink must either have been a popular color for bedrooms back then or really cheap!!!! I like the way they put the shelf around the chimney, nice way to give it a purpose instead of it just using up space...think I’ll do that in my house!
What a great old farmhouse, so sad there was no one to keep it up. I didn't see a bathroom, even though there was a sink in the kitchen. Good video. Thanks, Kappy
Wow great observation!! I checked every room I wonder if it was never updated to have a bathroom, the back portion was very overgrown but there definitely could’ve been a outhouse thank you for watching!!
What an interesting place! It looks like it was a great home at one point. Simple but beautiful. It does seem sad thinking about an elderly man alone in this house.
Kappy...I've noticed that you disregard the wealth of information in the books and newspapers that are ignored as you give us a tour through the past. WoW Kappy..once upon a time, not so long ago these houses were homes to someone. I wish we knew more of that part of history..just sayin'! Thank you..btw..I LOVE your voice! I believe you to be a kind, caring and empathetic man. It's a joy to be in your company!
Such a beautiful home . I’ll bet she was a beauty in her time. Architectural style says it may have been a Civil War style home . What a gem , thank you Kappy! 🥰
Fallen in love with this house maybe it's such a lovely house I am imagining it while watching when it's new and liveable trying to turn back in time♥️
What a neat old house and a wonderfull view !! So sad these are all left to rot ! Really wish it could be saved ! Looks so peaceful to sit on the porch and look at those mountains ! So much life and history here such a shame to see it sit and rot ! Great video. Thank you for documenting it before it was gone !
Thanks Kappy for sharing with me my friend this video about the mountainside ABANDONED house 120 years old very sad place it looked so creepy and very old my friend. and thanks again and God Bless you my friend.
Love lost, nature takes over... I am a nasty-neat Interior Designer here, a few volunteers would make a huge difference in two hours, please someone rescue this home......
Hey Kappy we almost got to see you lol. Love your videos. It is so sad to think this poor older man was all alone in this big house. It had to be a great old homestead at one time. Awesome video with so much respect as always. Thank you for sharing and be safe.
I want an old house like the ones you are finding, to fix up and look like they did when first built. I love love old houses. Thank you so much for doing your videos.
Nice old house! Someone mowed the yard, but the trees on the sides and back of the house are overgrown. Such a beautiful view out of the upstairs window. The 2 braided rugs that were rolled up in the bedroom upstairs look huge and are worth a lot of money! Thanks for showing us this once beautiful home!!
Hi Kappy!!!!I love these houses from this time period.I can picture the beauty of how it once looked.thanks & Ican't can't wait till the next video :-)
What beautiful country. And what a sad house. The lack of a woman's touch, at least in its recent(?) past, made me think the old man who lived there was the last of his family and probably always single so when he passed, there was just no one left to care about one old country house or its sparse contents. It certainly appeared to be an *alone* existence; one just hopes it wasn’t a lonely existence. Thank you, Kappy, for this exploration.
It’s interesting to note that I didn’t see a bathroom or notice a place where one had been. It must have been in one of those doors by the staircase. I also didn’t notice an outhouse outside either. From the looks of it, the homeowner had trouble getting around during his final days & couldn’t manage the stairs
Nice house. Amazing it is still standing after all these years. The houses that r being built today decay in 20 yrs. Storms turn them to ruble. But these old farm houses last & last til mother nature finally takes them down. Thx 4 documenting so many of these old places. Gives a good perspective on how far mankind has come & how much he has destroyed or altered the environment. Much luv
I could see some poor soul who had outlived his immediate family and found himself alone as the final years came. Maybe a child, or probably a niece or nephew came when the end was near and took care of him - but had no interest in the few things he left behind. Bless them all. Beautiful find Kappy!
Sounds like my uncle. He was the last one left of his generation. Never married. Went into a nursing home at 97 Y/O the house left to rot. He died at 101 a couple years back. House has since had it's date with a dozer. Neat old house. An old 2 1/2 story cement block house built by my uncle's dad around 1910.
Tin roof lovely, listen to pitter patter rain. Down pour be a bit scary with high wind 😂 House is secluded as off grid. Must have a well. Perhaps generator for electrical. Nice find!! Explore with you is too fun
I love how you stop and show us what they saw looking out the window! And how you pause to let us take in the Beautiful woodwork or door knobs! Thank you
The tv as you are coming into the the house is from 1969 or 1970’s. The farmers sink is worth about $800 dollars. The door hardware is worth $45. The doors and ship lap walks are $$$. Such a shame that families at least do not let the houses be salvaged.
What a beautiful home it must have been. I can just imagine sitting on that front porch and reading or daydreaming. How wonderful it must have been to live there.
wowwwwww kapppy what a view and the house was amazing i love the history of it old tv old furniture old trinkits u cant find any more thanks for uploading video take care my grateful dead bud
Cool video! You know if you turn up the volume at 7:41 it almost sounds like someone says no or nope when you say you can’t go to the other side of the house.
I find myself wanting you to move faster so I can see the beautiful house..but at the same time don’t want you to at all.just my own impatience . You are the only person that takes his time and shows EVERYTHING. That’s why I love your channel..you are always spot on with guessing situation and time. ♥️
You can tell a lot about what kind of people lived there from the belongings left behind. I see what looks like a homemade oil painting. I see a lot of throw rugs. They must of enjoyed Christmas because I see those glasses on the shelf.I believe I saw a whiskey jug crock next to a kitchen chair in the bedroom. Maybe somebody was ill and they had a friend stop by sipping on some whiskey while keeping them company. They must of had a sense of style with all the rooms painted different colors.
Loved your video Kappy... You always find the best old homes to explore.. Surely though a very sad feeling came over me while viewing the video... :( I always wonder what happened to the last person who lived there and again it tells a story perhaps of an older gentleman that most likely lived in this house for many year and how he relocated to the first floor as he was getting on in years and the stairs were too much of a challenge for him}... Seems like a man lived there perhaps alone for the most part... Didn't see any articles left except for mens clothes..no sign that this person may of had a wife or perhaps grandchildren... Most certainly a beautiful home when it was in it's heyday.. :-) The view is amazing! Tell me Kappy...where was this filmed ? There was a certain kind of peaceful,calming feeling about this home... ] I truly believe that this home could be restored... although most of it would needed to be gutted due to structual damage due to weather related situations over many years.. but then again not impossible... Where there is a will there is a way.. Of course having the funds,the desire and the patience along with motovation to restore an older home in my opinion is well worth it.... Thanks so much for sharing this awesome video Kappy... Have a great weekend! :-)
Looking at the old stuff that's left behind... I can't help but wonder how life must has been... Specially when I saw those stuff that was once commonly seen and used in the 60s, the future must be appear to be bit more wonderful and hopeful back then... But NOW we are the FUTURE.... Global warming, over population, war.... I think this house must have holding a lot of good memories and hopes.

Laura Y. Right! A lot of kids running threw the house in the summer, hearing the screen door slam a million times a day..
@@loreleihebdon6595 Running kids throwing houses. What a summer.
@@imasonofadeadbeat2928 LMAO
I like this house. The views from upstairs are gorgeous. Seems like living here when the house was whole would have been very pleasant.
Wholeheartedly agree with every word you said here!
These types of old farm houses are always more interesting to me then newer abandoned houses. I always wonder what life was like for the people or person that lived there.
The property is worth gold in my opinion. What a shame to see such quality craftsmanship go to waste.
Yes...sadly so.
Absolutely beautiful scenery
Thank you for sharing your great video. I love the old houses

Beautiful home. What a look to the 60's. Wonder what happened to the family.
It had been a lovely old place..the view outstanding! Thanks Kappy 👍 🙋🌟 🌟🌟 🌟🌟 🕊️🦋
Imagine how many people stood in front of that upstairs window over the years, looking out on the countryside just like we did.
That's the kind of thing I think of when I see old places. Every one of them has a story of those that came and went before. I get sentimental not even knowing who they were.

Great house. Beautiful wood work. Great job for sharing. Thanks.
Lost in another time farm , in a beautiful location. Thanks for sharing.
Great find, that is some old hardware. The views from the upstairs windows are beautiful.
Beautiful property! The view is incredible. Thank you so much for doing these videos. Keep up the good work and please stay safe!!
Another awsome explore👍beautiful location ! Thanks for sharing kappy
What a priceless veiw I hope this house gets saved when it was built they picked a perfect spot

I bet that place was lovely when it was first built, with such stunning views and that beautiful big tree in the front yard.
If only I could go and restore every abandoned house like this in America! I would be so happy!
An old old house, that holds a lot of memories for those who lived here!
Still looks good from the front. N the front yard has been mowed. Just a waste if a once beautiful how one. You keep finding them Kappy n I keep loving them. Stay safe out there. God bless

What a great house. You put so much focus and compassion into your explorations. It’s so sad to see how this house decayed so much. Thank you for sharing this video.

Nice styling of house. The gingerbread is a really nice touch to this house. The metal roof looks like it is still holding up well. Nice woodwork.

Love those houses . So sad with all its memories. Wonder where people always go when they just leave it to fall .
That works for movie stars too!! many have left beautiful ranches, and large apartments called mansions...no body wants them!!!
Love all these old buildings. Coming to you from Chattanooga TN
Nice old house! Someone mowed the yard, but the trees on the sides and back of the house are overgrown. Such a beautiful view out of the upstairs window. The 2 braided rugs that were rolled up in the bedroom upstairs look huge and are worth a lot of money!
Thanks for showing us this once beautiful home!!
This house is beyond repair guys. Likely was lived in through the 80s and maybe as late as 2000 but its a goner
These old house need to be sold and redone for folks to live in. So many people out there need a place to stay.
Such a humble place. Thanks Kappy
You were the very first explorer I'd ever seen,as I have always been obsessed with history I would wait with baited breath for your next vid thanks 🙏🏻

Your right about the sadness tho, it really feels like the house it's self was sad... Waiting for the family to come home......

Sad to see memories of past lives and no one today cares about them- just let a nice home sit and rot-
....beutifull house is long gone!!😰

Good morning to the very first fave TH-camr, Kappy! Well, it's midnight actually here in the Philippines 12:03am to be exact!
The tv as you are coming into the the house is from 1969 or 1970’s. The farmers sink is worth about $800 dollars. The door hardware is worth $45. The doors and ship lap walks are $$$. Such a shame that families at least do not let the houses be salvaged.
At 5:59 I hear what sounds like a woman's voice. A lovely old home. :)
I heard a whisper too
Another great explore!
A simple, really lovely home from the exterior. I bet it was charming at one point.
Fix that place up love to live there🤗
Great video , enjoyed watching 😊
What a beautiful home it must have been. I can just imagine sitting on that front porch and reading or daydreaming. How wonderful it must have been to live there.
It was once a beautiful house it's sad to see it's so neglected. And whoever did the painting that was pretty good
The outside view is beautiful
wowwwwww kapppy what a view and the house was amazing i love the history of it old tv old furniture old trinkits u cant find any more thanks for uploading video take care my grateful dead bud
