Good evening everyone. Brought this one out of my archives to share with you all. I hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching and as a reminder, hit that thumbs up and subscribe if you have not already to stay up to date on my latest explore. Have a great week!
I bought a house much like that in Michigan in 1993 with a ton of hard work and money brought it back to life and raised my family there for 30 years until October 26, 2023, when it burns to the ground. I thought all the things I thought the first time I walked through the place when you walked through this home. I can make this room into this and that and it was nice. Thanks for the tour.
@@CraigConklin-q3b First off, I want to say I am sorry to hear it burned down. I hope everyone was ok. I have a lot of respect for those that choose to restore older homes then live in the cookie cutter ones today, so kudos to you. Glad I could take you along for the tour. Thanks for watching!
What a beautiful house! I have a 200 year old one with good bones as well. Been doing things to it and the barn and grounds for 40 years. It's been a passion for us. We're not happy without a project and would go crazy in a new house. I really hope the next person takes care of what we did when we're gone.
@@linxj6 As I mentioned to another viewer who commented of their older home, I give huge kudos to you for keeping your older home alive. Today's cookie cutter homes are nothing compared to the older homes. Keep doing what you are doing. Although this house was not due to an owner's neglect, a lot of these older homes just get left to rot due to the cost to keep them going.
My hubs and l restored an 1898 Victorian, are still married, and lived to tell about it!!! Some idiot had painted the pocket doors fireplace,, open staircase, ALL of the beautiful woodwork!! Great farmhouse here-wish it could be brought back to life. Thanks!
@@janewasson4845 props to both of you for taking the time to bring back that Victorian. More places like this need people like you two. Sucks about the person who painted all the woodwork.
Wow this place is massive. There's like... 8 bedrooms potentially if the attic ones were done, 3 bathrooms? It's still in pretty good shape considering it's abandoned. Even the barn is not in too bad a shape.
@@mikecroaro519 that was all of it except 1 bathroom at the very beginning and the upstairs sunroom that was rotting away. Unfortunately, this wasn't one where I could just take my time. Unlike some places where I am there unannounced, this one I had permission and had a time limit. What you saw was me trying to capture the most I could in the short amount of time I had. I wasn't going to turn it down so I got at least something to share.
WHY?? Why does every single one of the "explorers" of these vacant/abandoned properties find it necessary to film the contents of every single toilet that they see? AND the nastier those toilets are, the longer they focus on the disgusting mess. There's a lid on most toilets, so why not save our suppers by closing that lid before shooting that picture?
Haha well you won't see me touching no toilets in these places. I can assure you that I don't have a checklist that says, up close shot of the toilet. 😅 It's a house tour so you see the uncensored mess I see. I don't pre-tour these places with a check list on what to return to. As soon as I enter, the record button is pressed and you see what I am seeing for the first time. I try to make the bathroom tours as short as possible. Think of it this way, these videos are wake up calls to others. If someones bathroom looks dirtier than the ones in these places, time to grab the cleaning supplies.
lolol. I do notice something; the guys always zoom in on stuff like turdy nasty toilets, giant spiders, piles of dead hornets, dead birds, bats, taxidermy, and destruction. lol must be fascinating to them. Makes me shudder & shut my eyes. literally!! 🤣🤣😂

I bet you found some really old things in it! Love to hear it.
That was probably a really nice place back in the day. Thanks for the video!
@@jeffgrier8488 I am sure it was. Thanks for watching
It still is!

I think it’s still in good shape
I can’t believe they canceled the project, after making so many families leave. That farmhouse, was probably beautiful back in the day!
I agree. I am sure it didn't go down as the best decision for the government
I want it. Beautiful property. So much room
@@barbaraalexander1691 yes quite spacious
Wow this place is massive. There's like... 8 bedrooms potentially if the attic ones were done, 3 bathrooms? It's still in pretty good shape considering it's abandoned. Even the barn is not in too bad a shape.
@@sooth15 yes. A pretty decent size farm house
I remember when you taped this beautiful property originally. Do you have any updates on it? Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
@@veronicamorgan8103 unfortunately I do not. Thanks for watching
that would be nice to have the money to buy that, and remodel it, it would make a great home again
@@jerry4889 yes it would. Thanks for watching
It would be a nice B&B or a group home. Even a nice place for retreats.
@@susanbissell6319 I agree
You brought it back! This and powerhouse are two of my favorites.
@@triple6758 yep. took it out of the archive
Frozen in time
Very cool house. House explore too quick and seemed unorganized. Did we actually see the entire house, or just portions of it?

How sad. What a pretty house! It would be nice if someone could fix the property back up! Darn shame.
@@malindahenke5724 I agree. So much potential
Tocks Island Dam?
@@samanthab1923 you know your history haha
