I can just picture that grand old home with a family and children running around outside! Beautiful old home!
Thank you very much for watching!
I agree, Got some very positive vibes from this place. That storage room upstairs, with the wide plank floors and holding the old screen doors, felt very familiar to me. There was one door leaning against the wall on the right side - the one with the fancy fret work - that I swear came right out of somebody's home. Maybe a grand parent or someone else. I can't place it exactly but I swear the room feels familiar from long, long ago. Thanks for finding it and sharing it with us!
Mamie Bobb I watch these and have the same sensation that I’ve been there before and then I realize that I am just old enough that many homes I went in as a kid were still like that. But it always gives me this comfortable, safe feeling....I guess because it takes me back to childhood and for me childhood was good.
Outstanding, merci beaucoup from Paris France. Emmanuel. Just be brave all of yu. Emmanuel

That television set was a Motorola from 1957-59. This house hasn’t been lived in since at least the mid 70’s Thank you, Kappy. Stay safe from the COVID-19 . Johnny from Montreal, Canada 🌈🌎☮️🌺👍😉❤️
If walls could talk. Could you imagine everything that has gone on inside this place since it was built? I bet it would fill a library!
If I had the money, I’d hire the This Old House guys and let them restore that house to its’ original look, with a few modern updates. How peaceful and an incredible view.
Yes it is a beautiful house but the damage is so extensive that it wouldn’t be worth it unless you had the money to blow
Ms. Rosann That’s why I said if I had the money. Old homes have character. Unlike the cookie cutter garbage built today.
Every house has potential, unless it’s literally “ crumbling “. That would be nice.
It ain't worth it no kind of way it's over now
James Sims Everyone’s entitles to their opinion.
I think you are an old soul. Love the door hardware, and the staircase was so interesting.
It’s a damn shame that these old historical home are left this way
Val Zykan lmao
Yes, it's a shame . I use to live in a farmhouse from 1875 and it had character . Loved the doors , the framing , the cherry fireplace etc. Beautiful attic too .
If those walls could talk they would be fountains of knowledge.
You want to pay for it?
You can always buy it and fix it up. You can probably get for dirt cheap!!
Thanks my friend for sharing with me this video about beautiful 138 year old Abandoned house in the blue ridge mountains kappy thanks for sharing this video with me i really enjoyed it and i can't wait to see your next video and God Bless and thanks again.
What a lovely place this must have been when first built. Attention to detail that is shown in the detail of some of the door knobs and the “gingerbread” trim on the porch shows that somebody cared when house was built. At least the vultures didn’t find you this time-just mubdaubers 😊.
Thanks for taking us with you. Stay safe and healthy!!
I grew up looking at the Blue Ridge Mtns. Watch this makes me long for home.
If you don't mind me asking, why did you choose to move?
I think I love pretty much everything about this place...the intricate moldings, the delicate features of the ceiling fixtures, the gorgeous staircase, the vintage articles left behind...could go on forever. Even in it's tired old state, it presents itself beautifully. What a sweet explore! Thanks for taking us along, Kappy. Cheers and Happy Spring from Eastern Canada.

hiya
It's beautiful...like a dream. To wake up and see that gorgeous land and trees outside your window would be wonderful.
When my husband and I first heard your voice, we looked at each other and said, that's Ryan talking. That's our son-in-law up in Indiana. But of course it wasn't him! It's was you! I called my daughter and told her to listen. She said when did you get Ryan talking and who is he talking too. Long story short! Ya'll are voice twins! I love what you do man! History is wonderful and exciting! We live in a log cabin. 1820 to 1840. My mother moved it to our property in 1973. This the 3rd place it's been since it was hand hune in the early 1820s. We must do all we can to preserve history. It's disappearing fast. When it's gone it wouldn't be coming back! Thank you for your hard work! Don't stop!
One can imagine how lovely this house once was. And where it is located is absolutely breathtaking. Like you, I love the view from that kitchen window and could spend hours glued to that one spot.
Shea Piland I would love to see the kitchen open up to a big porch or deck so one could really enjoy the gorgeous view!
Me too.
guess im not alone!
Seeing that view every morning and evening would be nice.
would not have been easy access. certainly out in the middle of nowhere. only nice view in the day time. at night....take me back to town and civilization. looks like the setting of a horror movie.
I love this house for some reason!! Beautiful view! I wouldn’t get anything done!!! A porch and a swing facing that view and I’d be in heaven! Thank you for the distraction! Be safe!
The handyman that left those old tools there put in mind of my late husband, the whole look and feel of this place! It's got him written all over it! Awww its beautiful!
Sorry for your loss I bet he was really handy with his tools my dad and grandfather were but not me
It was fun to see the old logo from Montgomery Ward on the “Signature” chest freezer. Had a part-time job there in high school in the 70’s. Rural folk used the Montgomery Ward catalog a lot to order things back in the day.
Beautiful land around there, thanks Kappy!
The old catalogs were good for other things also.
Did you end up peeking inside the freezer to see if anyone(thing) was inside?
What a beautiful house in a beautiful location
Loved it!
Thanks Kappy
GORGEOUS!!!! Absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I know I say this all the time but this is my favorite so far. It has such a “ grand” feel to it. I could see myself living in then home. Thanks Kappy for sharing. Please continue to stay safe!
Couldn’t agree more this was one of my favorites I’ve filmed, such a great house and just crying out to be restored! Thanks for watching
Even though it was old and abandoned, this house had a time stood still feel to it... kind of as if it weren't old an abandoned, if that makes any sense. Just chock full of treasures!!!
Agree
Well said! Me too! Something about that house seems so comforting. So easy to think of feeling safe, loved, and secure there. You just don't want to let it go.❤
It's heartbreaking to see these beautiful homes in ruins. If only the walls could speak and tell us about what they have seen through the years, and what ultimately happened.
usually not enough income for upkeep, I'd speculate... likely enough.
well maybe not the walls
but the Demons can
The view out the kitchen window is breathtaking!
Agreed! Thank you for watching!
Fantastic video! I love how you take your time and get up-close shots of details (moldings, door knobs, windows, etc.) That old sink is great!
For sure. I'd love to have it.
I don't know how a pretty house like that is left abandoned those old houses are the best..
My guess is they could no longer make a living there.
Such a Grand Old Lady...wouldn't You Love to know her memories...see everything she's seen.
It Breaks my heart to watch your videos, but...I still watch.
So Heartbreaking no one cares about these beautiful buildings any longer.
The fact that people watch and want to see these old houses shows to me that people out there still care, just not the owners unfortunately or there’s a lack of funds. Thanks for watching!
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 I could see someone getting a realtor license, not actively selling but connecting motivated buyers with those who own homes like these not knowing what they are worth.
What a great house . For being somewhat “ quaint “ , it’s actually adorable. The detail on the knob plates , that was very ornate.
Thank you Kappy.
Every time I watch your clips, I'm more and more amazed at the beauties you find. Breathtaking....
The memories these homes must hold. Thank you so much Kappy for showing us these " once forgotten" homes. Be safe 🙂
What a beautiful old home!!! Has a pleasant feeling.
Agreed! Felt very nice inside the house! Could definitely be a home again! Thanks for watching
I think a young man built this charming house for his young bride with love and added all the feminine touches to make her feel instantly at home! I’m sure they raised a lovely family in this house. This is definitely one house that needs to be fixed up and lived in again! Thanks for showing us this sweet house. Wish I could buy it! Take care and stay safe!!
This was an incredible video. I love old homes like this. I grew up in an 1826 home in Ohio that my family restored and left 90 percent original (had to upgrade windows and some of the foundation) but it had the original front door, door knobs and hinges, even had the creek stone foundation still intact in many places. Hand built arched door, 9 feet tall with red circular stained glass in the top of the arch. This reminded me so much of that house. Thank you so much for filming this and being so respectful to this piece of history. I live in Western North Carolina now and went thru Hugh school in Blue Ridge and this home is one of hundreds that are abandoned in this area of the same age and style. You got another subscriber with me and I can’t wait to see your new videos!
What a nice location! Can't beat the beautiful country around this house. So green and plush, with the sounds of nature. Nice old house too, albeit falling apart but it must have been a great place to call home back in the day! Can't beat these old farm houses!! Such sturdy places!!
You continue to find the most interesting locations , beautiful homes, and are the best at respecting and filming them !! Thank u , I appreciate your work very much !!
Nice old house. Awesome location!! Thanks!! 👍
Thank you! That house was once so beautiful, the view still is.
Love the view from kitchen window! Awesome!
I was so happy to see a new one from you! Those doors with the ornate hardware were so fine - I could just imagine getting them sanded and some kind of blaster to remove the rust and putting them back up. Oh and that kitchen sink was to die for. I'd do my kitchen around it - find an old refurbished stove to go with it. I'm coming off COVID19 and you got my mind to go elsewhere. You're a doll, Kappy. Thank you!
That sink was probably Acme as it looks like the one at the old farm.
Your back! Yeah! Love this house, I can imagine how beautiful this one was. My kind of house! Thanks Kappy for making my quarantine a little less boring! Stay safe!
Hope u see this - You should watch, Diaries of a Chateau on You Tube. This woman bought an old chateu in France and is restoring it. She has volunteers come stay and work and has family stay...it's so much fun. It has really helped pass the days on lickdown
Those metal beds are all the rage again now. My grandson has one very similar but it’s new. Loved that carved headboard. I remember those sinks with the soap dish on top. What a neat find. Alas doesn’t appear to have an indoor bathroom. Always love to see how those get added in. Cool 2nd set of stairs. Beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing ❤️
Love so many features of this house, especially the main staircase, bay window, and that kitchen sink! And the view from the back window is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for the tour!
That view was so gorgeous and I agree I could look o out all day long too! We had a TV like that in the mid 50's. The bed's headboard and door knobs and the fancy lighting fixture was awesome. Thanks for sharing
I look around me now, in my home and I have to wonder. Will someone be wondering about who used to live here? And what stories could be told? It is amazing for me to imagine that someone’s hand touched every single piece of wood that it took to build that home. It was someone’s dream. Look at it now.
I'm normally a city person,,but those view and that tranquility are amazing,,I can imagine how beautiful this house was,,love your videos,,keep up the good work!,,god bless
Thank you for showing the rosettes on the window and door frames. That is the first thing I look for. Great tour as always.
I really, really like that house. Yes, it is old... those piled stone pillars and stripped log supports for the 1st floor just blow my mind.
The place had a lot of thoughtful, personalized storage for organization.
I bet this was a well loved family home with a view you would know like the back of your hand. ❤
Oh my God! What a creepy awesome house. Fantastic tour. Thank you. Not many of houses like that still standing.
Oh my! Happy? I just "stumbled" on to your site! I'm so glad I did! You do an excellent job of exploring! Very smooth with camera, your voice is easy to listen to, you show appreciation and respect to someone's property! I'm all subscribed, and the bell will ring! Thanks so very much! BTW, my parents still live in the same farmhouse I grew up in(ages 90 & 91), married 69 years! And, my hubby & I are 4th generation in our farmhouse! We enjoy the woodwork, doors & door knobs, and all of the other "good old homey feel" of days gone by. Counting our blessings our descendants seem interested in becoming caretakers of these homes when we move on to our heavenly ones! Evidently the descendants in the case if this old home decided to invest in newer architecture. Sad!
Oh I just love those windows! On a rainy day and a cup of coffee I would be like one of those toys with suction cups for hands and feet -- staring out into that beautiful landscape.
Sad,brittle,dried out, decaying,house,people gone,memories gone,only thing left,a beautiful view.thanks Kappy.keep well.
Hello Kappy, those views are to die for, I would have loved to live there when this lovely old house was at its best,absolutely gorgeous. Hope you are keeping well. Stay safe
I picture a short grannie, cooking for her family. Picture her burying deceased loved one who gre up in the house. Probably 4 or 5 kids. Pictured farm produce being shelled on the screened front porch which probably had a couple old rockers on it. So many good memories were made there.
The architecture of the home from the outside is so pretty. My aunt had a sink in her old kitchen like the one you found with the old faucets and soap dish. Beautiful carvings on the headboard, always love the porches, especially on the 2nd floor. Great old house!
Viewer from Sweden here. Beautiful house and surroundings. Dreamlike. Images of the families and all life some 60 or 100 years ago come to my mind. But life is still there in the wonderful landscape and birds. I love to find places like that during roadtrips in Sweden (just different building styles). Sometimes the inhabitants left for "Amerika". Melancholy sets in but the sweet kind - life goes on. Would love to do roadtrips in the states. "country roads" playing.. ;)

For me.
The only thing I really need to say about ALL your videos..."Ahh, the good old days"!!! Thanks for ALL the history.🙂🙂🙂
This has probably been my fave house yet. It had really good energy. I bet that it was beautiful!!! So much attention to detail!!!👍👍👍
Beautiful 2nd story porch.
Could you imagine this all fixed up, how beautiful. Walking in to good food cooking, I bet it was something
That view is amazing. I lived in the Blue Ridge Mountains and loved every moment. The kitchen sink!!!! Looks like a spring house there also.
About 4 yrs ago, myself and a friend, found this house, there was just something special about it. I took a few still shots, and to this day, i still like it.
When i saw the video, i immediately knew i had been there.
Great video
What location/city in Virginia?
The bay window with the rod iron bed frame was my favorite. Tough old house should be lived in not used as storage. No bathroom? That view is to die for. Great find Kappy. Stay safe n healthy. GB
I like it when you say, "it's beautiful" and "it's pretty".
Stunning home! Thank you for sharing. 💖❤️👍🏼🙂
That is such beautiful scenery at 6:25 not to mention the house is gorgeous. I can see it was grand back in the day!! As always, good find, it was just beautiful!! Too bad it's beyond repair. The foundations always amaze me the way it's built up on rocks. Thanks for sharing this beautiful place!! Be safe out there! Peace, Kim ~
That's a heart breaker! You can just imagine the family(s) that lived there and if only walls could talk, the stories they could tell!!
I like that old fashioned kitchen sink with the high back to catch the splashes. Thats a better design than the modern ones.
That was the same kind of sink my grandparents had, can still remember having to bath in it, hot water came from pots on the wood stove.

Another great find even if the house is in rough shape. TV is from the late 50's and the radio is likely from the 30's. (It was upside down) lol
Wish I could’ve found something to date when it was last lived in but I’d guess atleast 30-40 years! Thank you for the info and thanks for watching!
Thank you for showing us a grand old home. It is very much appreciated. The views are spectacular.
Pretty old house. The bay windows must have made that room really beautiful. And what a gorgeous view! Ive always wanted a house with hidden stairs very cool. Great find Kappy love it!
I like this house very much, feel bad it was used as a storage shed for crap no one wanted. Needs a lot of help but it could be awesome again. Thanks, Kappy
I agree, a waste of a well built home with history and character. It could still be saved.
A lot of that crap is actually very valuable to collectors and decorators. If the old glass in the windows are starting to become "wavy" it could be sold for about 50-100$ per pane.
What a peaceful and quiet area. The views are stunning and I would have sit on the second floor balcony and enjoyed those views and peace and quiet.
Love all these old homes, enjoy watching all your videos Kappy...
Thank you for documented our American heritage.
I love the old kitchen sinks and the beautiful molding
That would be a awesome place to restore. I could see myself sitting on that wonderful porch in a rocking chair. Getting up and down the stairs would be another matter. Some interesting things left in there. Stay safe and have a blessed day.
Beautiful country !
Beautyful old home. Allways sad to see these historical houses just left like that. Great work filming this one! :)
Thank you for taking me along with you to this wonderful old home . So sad to see it used for storage and I am sure who ever was doing that is probably left it behind as well . Such wonderful wood work in this home. Looked to me someone was working on this at one time . In my opinion it would take alot of money but it would be worth it ! Loved that upstairs porch you could almost see a older woman sitting in a rocking chair with a blanket on her lap rocking softly . GREAT video Kappy I just love theses videos !
Wow ... it’s a shame this house wasn’t restored. I would love to know the history of it . Thank you for the video ,great job.
What a beautiful old place and what a view,so peaceful
Gorgeous very sad beautiful home left to rot thanks for the video
Hello Kappy🙂I love the front of that place in the outside especially up top...great find again I love the places you find🙂💜
Farm houses didn't have closets because they didn't have a lot of clothes. They didn't have a lot of shoes either, going barefoot in the summer. Loved the headboard. The entire house is cool. Love it retains some original features.
Jackie Pierce Nope. They didn’t have closets because they didn’t have central heating or air and they line dried all of their clothing. Putting your clothing in a small, closed room filled with clothing would result in mold and moths. They also had dressers, which were large cabinets with a place to hang clothing as well as smaller drawers for base layers. The people who built that absolutely massive house had a LOT of money at least when they built. That house has a servants staircase.
Beautiful home!! Thanks for sharing with us. Amazing to think that whole house is standing on piles of rocks!
Wonderful old place. Glorious in it's day...
Oh how I love theses old homes, so much incredible history, thanks for sharing 👍👍
Very large old house. A few dollars in scrap metal. The doors could be restored and make very beautiful additions in renoing. And that view! Fantastic! All in all I love the woodwork. And think this would make my top ten for saving.
One thing I admire most about your videos is that you don’t touch or disrespect the items that have been left behind. You simply just give us a view of what used to be. Keep it up brotha
The front staircase,had endured all these years! It was still looking strong..The view and knowing that some of the trees had been used to build it...Just awesome..Thanks Kappy👍🙋🧚🕊️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
O yes.. The view... Add a cute barn & pasture with a couple horses ❤❤❤
You should scout around these homes outside. This time of year you may find spring flowering perennials. Give you an idea of how the outside, gardens and landscaping, was laid out. I've stumbled upon lilacs and daffodils literally in the middle of nowhere.
So hes there for the decay bwahahahaha lol
@GPAGE i guess if flowers are your thing thats cool i guess living in oregon i see that stuff on the norm.there prettty but im.not digging them up
@GPAGE good find, you know they are so acclimated to the area they're extremely hardy.
@GPAGE yep i know lucky u ☺🌸🌸good on u saving the plants too
that usually means it was a residence at one time. The woods in Pa. are loaded with the remnants of old towns long gone...the tell tale mark is all the shrubs and flowers left behind.
The Blue Ridge mountains in Virginia is to me The most beautiful place in this country it’s like heaven on earth you weren’t kidding about the view were you in Virginia or one of the other states they reach?
Take me home, country roads,.... to the place where I belong.....
I'm Aussie,and dearly want to drive these roads in the fall
Oh Wow!! That is so fabulous!!You can just imagine people living there 100 years ago. I would love exploring all these abandoned houses too. They are like finding treasure. Cheers, from Country Victoria, Australia. ✌️
So sad to see such a grand old house in that state. Seems like they started to use it as a storage shed.
or an old barn.
Beautiful home back in its day. I would love to know the history.
Terry Anderson me too . It’s just a beautiful yet quaint little house. Those porches are awesome.
That's the part the explorers never mention. I appreciate what they do but it would be nice to know the history of these places and have some of the architectural features explained. At least this one is more interesting than the ones where they explore a house full of 20 year old trash and keep saying "wow, insane and incredible" when the see a TV that isn't flatscreen.
Another old gem Kappy. Loved the door knobs.
I have a house I found like that in Maine. 19 years later it’s lovely and still almost totally original. Except I put plumbing in for the first time. It’s not for everyone but I love an old house!
I like these old fashioned houses. It is cozy and neat and it is in the mountains with a magnificent view.
That house had some beautiful views. The one window in the kitchen, I’m like you. I could have stood or sit looking out that window for days. And the view looking out from the upper front porch was just as breathtaking. I can imagine that house restored with me living in it. Perfect peace and quiet. Thanks for sharing this house. 👍
Wow great place, great video. Thanks Kappy👌🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😘🙋🧚
Well. I found my money pit if I ever win the lottery. Loved it as soon as I saw it 💕
What a beautiful house in wonderful surroundings. So peaceful and many stories to tell. Thank you.
Great video. Agree - so sad these old homes are left to rot away taking the history with them. Fascinating!!
