Stunning Abandoned Southern Farm House Left Forgotten For Decades

- This historic old house was built in the early 1900’s. Listed as being built between 1908-1911.
The original family who built the house were most likely formerly enslaved as well because the census records list the first owner and most likely builder as being around 50 years old and of African American descent. It gets more interesting as later census records list the family as being white but still same last name. Which lead me to believe the family was most likely of mixed race. Which was pretty uncommon for the early 1900’s in the Jim Crow laws of the south.
Also interesting is the house remained in the same family for its whole life until the final owner, an elderly widow with no children passed away. Sadly with no one too leave the house to, it has sat empty for decades now in a rural area of Georgia. Absolutely beautiful house with original walls and the incredible front porch! Loved this place and I hope someday it can be saved and lived in again! It’s a wonderful property with large cedars growing all around most likely planted when the house was first built and the house is tucked away behind massive Spanish moss covered trees. It was truly like a dream walking around the place and I almost didn’t want too leave! Thank you for watching! - Розваги
Those sheaves of wheat still hanging in the barn says it all: they may have been simple but they were self-sufficient. All those glass jars (not toxic plastic!) once stored a harvest that would keep the family fed over the winter. An honest house built to be lived in versus an ornament to display the family's assumed gentility, demanding constant upkeep. What I'd do to have a useful kitchen like that one! A lost gem hidden amidst grand trees that defy 'Time.' Beautiful story, this house. TY, Kappy!
Dang you must have a eye for detail.Your exactly right about their apparent self-sufficiency.And yes the use of plastic mainly being a cost-cutting measure for most corporations that use it at the expense of human health is rather benign as well.Good eye on your behalf..
@@edbollett9083Yes! And recyclable and not all in our landfills like now! 😡
I remember helping my Grandma dump canned fruit, and vegetables that had gone bad.
In her basement, they smelled horrible. But they had gone through WW1, and the Great Depression.
Along with their husbands being overseas, then their sons in WW11.
So, I had 🤭 to help clean and save the jars, box and return them to the basement shelves.
DAMN! I was a child...for some reason or another, my Grandparents nor Parents.
Had ever heard of child labour laws. 😹

You know That’s Right!
We have so destroyed our Planet, Mother Nature 🌬 will eventually cleanse herself.
My next to the oldest Sister participated in the First Earth Day.
She was 8 years older than me, I remember her doing it in HS when I was between 2nd and 3rd grade.
People really cared and tried, no one seems concerned in the least these days.
It’s truly sad.
@@danielkoher1944 Wow. Lol 😂
The upstairs porch was a sleeping porch. In the days before insulation and AC, the house got pretty hot in the summers so people would sleep outside where they could catch a breeze. My mother remembered in the 1930’s, people would drag mattresses into the front yard to sleep.
I was just gonna ask that what did they do back in the day because clearly the house had no AC at any point?
@@ElWrayExplores I read about the people who lived in the tenements in New York City around 1900. They'd sleep on the fire escapes. For a real treat, they'd go to Central Park and sleep on blankets on the ground to try to get a little air. Thousands of people desperate for sleep and wanting to escape their overly hot, cold-water walk-ups. People with pillows and alarm clocks scattered around in the dark on blankets. Women in nightgowns and men in pajamas. Children, too... Men were gentlemanly and averted their eyes from the ladies wearing sleeping clothes. People have always just been people. Trying to get through the day and live their lives.
This house is proof that just because something is built simple doesn’t mean it’s cheap. This house has been abandoned for many years. The roof is still in good shape, because I seen no evidence of rot on the inside of the house, it has been very well maintained over the years. Shame to see it ransacked, but at least it wasn’t vandalized. Another great find Kappy!
It’s in such a Beautiful location, you couldn’t ask for more. 😊 Totally 💯% agree.
Very true! Sturdy well built old house! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching! :)
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 Love your video's, but where is the CC? Some of us need this feature
Old growth timber was MUCH stronger and longer lasting than the fast grown timber we used today. Might also explain why additions to old houses are the first things to deteriorate.
Overall there isn't roof leaks or falling apart areas. Just people throwing clothes everywhere. It's a nice place.
Agreed! Could be saved! Thank you for watching! :)
What a delightful little place! I could feel her in there. Not a ghost, necessarily. But an essence. And it seemed like you could too. You were so kind when you spoke of how it was a place to be proud of. I'm sure she appreciated that. Thanks Kap! For another great explore. 💛
Could just imagine how happy and proud the family was when the house was first built! A lot of houses in this area are simple one story so this one felt extra special! Thank you for the kind words and watching! :)
Great old farmhouse, but a lot for an elderly woman to handle alone. Thanks, Kappy!
Those big windows make the house so bright and welcoming. The lot that it's sitting on is also beautiful with the majestic trees and the stream flowing through it (I'm assuming it's part of the property). It's good to see that vandals haven't damaged the house.
I would love to live in this truly pretty house, loved all the wood and the design was just lovely. Such a shame there's no-one to take it on. I just wish folk wouldn't pull everything out of the cupboards it's so unnecessary. I think the owners were indeed proud of their home.
So beautiful!!! I wish someone would save it. I LOVE the porch and it’s surroundings. Thanks Kappy! You’re the best and we appreciate you!!
Me too! Such a perfect setting! Thank you for the kind words and much appreciated for watching! Glad to hear you enjoy!! :)
Is this for sale ? If it is who are we going to contact to? Thank you .
This wasn't built for prestige. It was built with all the necessary features, and built to last. They very well could have been share croppers, but had their own food crops. The house itself still looks livable. I would love nothing better than to fix it and live in it. And getting the history of the place is a great story to go with it. Another great video Mr Kappy! Thanks for taking me along! Tell Ms Ruby hello for me!
I would love to live there for sure💗thanks Kappy. Hope you got the little bird out you're so sweet
Beautiful well made house with hardwood fireplaces, ceilings, that balcony. It would be a beauty restored or for a museum. Always enjoy watching your videos, Kappy 🎉
Much appreciated!! Thank you for watching! :)
The history is biggest part of theses old homes. The story is incomplete without at least little history. I'll never unsubscribe! The handful of other channels I've watch are good, but I feel this channel is the best. There is something very Genuine about you. Im guessing like myself, you probably wouldn't of minded if you were born 100 or more years ago. Lol
Thank You for your travels and research.
I appreciate you saying that!! Always try and share it if I’m able too find it out! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching! :)
The balcony is so inviting. I could sit there for hours.
I love porches.
I absolutely love the second story porch!
That top porch is a sleeping porch! Cool!
As a genealogist, I loved that you found the house on a census. House histories are an interesting branch of genealogy. Also, I believe that second kitchen was indeed a summer kitchen at one time separate from the main house. The outbuilding with the jars possibly a corn crib. If you ever need help researching a house I’m your girl!
I agree! Appreciate you saying that! Always love too share some history if I’m able to find it! Thank you very much for watching! :)
Love the property. Very peaceful. The house is really nice. Not fancy. Just plain and practical. Really enjoyed seeing it. Thanks Kappy.
Quite honestly utilitarian and all an ordinary person needs.
There’s still so much great 😊 feeling there.
Just delightful. Simple and dignified. I could see raising a family in this house with much joy and laughter! Beautiful find, Kappy! Thank you and stay safe!
Thank you very much for the kind words and watching! :)
Someone needs to restore the ole house an have a museum like in it! ❤
Well, I love the entrance to this house. Just beautiful. Then they put green 70's carpet on the stairs....lol. I love the white plank board walls. so cool. Looks like squatters have been through. I love those six pane windows and wavy glass. This a sweet little house. Thanks for sharing Kappy.
So many beautiful abandoned houses in the area . I hope one or two of them is for sale . They're all worth saving .
I love the fireplaces, it gives the house an air of beauty!
Absolutely gorgeous! My favorite part was the old Oak at the very beginning.❤❤❤
I love old screen doors and screened in porches!!❤❤❤❤
Beautiful house in a beautiful setting. I can see myself sitting on the second floor porch.
No, this wasn’t one of the many grand mansions we usually see, Kappy. However, it’s easy to see this was built with something more beautiful than teak wood or gold. It was built with love!
There are few like it today.
❤
That tree in your opening shot was spectacular! For such a relatively small house, I bet it had beautiful curb appeal in its day.
Such a simple yet grand house. Can imagine living in there.
It's amazing how many abandoned houses you find.
Wow that was an amazing house @ one time! The history of it is incredible. Georgia is a beautiful state. Another great find Kappy! Ur like Christopher Columbus of our time, discovering all kinds of great stuff! Thanx again Kappy. U and Ruby stay safe out there!!
You know what I like best about your videos? You research. You give us insight into who used to live in the house, which makes it more personal. Beadboard was on the walls, I think that is shiplap on the ceiling. I'm talking about the 1st room. Looks like some remodling had been done because the ceiling boards were mismatched a little toward the entrance. I really liked that home. Love all the wood.
I was wondering if you seen any steps to an attic? And those mantels in the upstairs bedrooms, were they covering fireplaces? They would make nice headboards for beds. I really like the screened in back porch area, nice layout. Great find Kappy 👍
Loved the background. Beautiful home.
Wow love the Stairs❤
Once again it goes to show how metal roofs help preserve a place . No cave ins or water damage . Someone could fix this up and have their own country hideaway.
So true! Would make a perfect country house getaway! Thank you very much for watching! :)
What a beautiful old house 🏚. I love everything about it. I would love to live in this house. They don't make houses like this anymore. Thanks for sharing.
This type of location is where most of my dreams take place.
The structure of this gorgeous home looks like it’s in really good shape and could possibly be saved ♥️
I love this beautiful home. A real charmer.
You find the best places. I follow a LOT of urban explorers and you are number one,that's just my opinion.
So kind of you too say!! I really appreciate it! Thank you very much for watching! So glad to hear you enjoy the videos! :)
I just wanna save every single house you shot :(. When these are gone so is the history and family stories found in them!
I loved this house! It’s my dream to buy an old farm and remodel it. I just love the old barn and outbuildings. This place has tons of potential. Great video - thanks!!
Wow love that place kappy and it still could be saved I would love to own it nice find I hope it will be saved
I love the upstairs porch on this house, and the big rooms, and the many windows, and the summer kitchen, and additions.
Okay, just southern houses like this, in general.
Were those little dog houses on the back, left side of the summer kitchen, or storage of some sort?
I really like this house, that giant tree is awesome! Really nice old home, lots of natural light, the top porch and the back one too. That icky carpet would have to go, though. Bet there might be some nice wood floors underneath it. Thanks, Kappy, this was great
My first thought was I’d like to see the beautiful wood floors under the stanky carpet! The carpet was an “upgrade” people added in probably the 1960s. My mom grew up in the Depression and thought shag carpet was the be-all, end-all in the 60s/70s. LOL
Hey Kappy! Cool old place. Always love the history on these places. The upper porch was awesome. Thanks for the explore. Always look forward to them. Be ssfe. ✌️
Loved this house! I can just imagine pulling my mattress out on the second story porch and sleeping there.
What an extra special find! Love how you appreciate the history and thanks for sharing its story. I felt this home had many years of love and life. I know people don’t like carpet, but I remember how much warmer it was in winter. It was a much appreciated improvement back in the day. And that tree! Thanks so much for sharing.❤
When shag carpet was new it looked awesome
Loved the tree! Prob over 100 years old! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
I love this house! And I love the fact that it’s still solid and not falling apart! It’s amazing! This is silly but one of the things I love about it are the curtains! It make it all homey and inviting! I could easily lay down on one I’d those beds and take a nap! And that upstairs porch, screened in would be a super sleeping porch! Good find Kappy! ❤
Nice to see from you. Amazing about the fact that the home has remained in the same family remarkable unheard-of now a days for real..Cool video enjoyed it very much.
Love this house! Thank you for bringing it to us.
That back “kitchen” was likely the canning kitchen. Used to can the harvests without heating up the house in the hot summers.
The birds were singing their joyful songs. I sure went wit the territory. Great video, thank you!
It's nice that those beams are holding the porch up. There's beautiful curtains on the windows. I love old curtains and fabrics.
Thank you for watching! :)
Lovely place. Doesnt look that bad. Too bad there is no one to take over.
U r doing a great job documenting these abandon places. It will help people realize what life was like a long time ago.
Much luv
Carry on your good work
If walls could talk!! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for being kind to the animals you encounter. You are a nice person!
Nice old house ❤️
I think this is lovely. Simple and peaceful.
Thank You Kappy & Ruby for my Birthday Card - I truly Loved it -Take Care your Loyal Watcher Marcella
So glad you got it! Hope it didn’t come in late! Hope you had a great birthday! And thanks for always watching! :)
If I only had the funds to restore this house. I love it!
Me too! Thank you for watching! :)
Completely feeling the same 🙏
Great job of capturing that great place. I could see that place getting a new life and family. It's amazing the electrical wasn't stripped out.
Thank you very much for the help with everything!! Much appreciated for watching!! :)
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 I am always happy to help.
Love this house. In pretty good shape.
This is an amazing place. Glad you were able to preserve this in video. The doors weren’t sagging lot of paint peeling but for the age it would be an easy fixer upper. Miss those simpler times and where people took pride in their work and things were made to last. It’s in better shape than a lot those built today. Thank you and be safe 😊
I think this house is pretty 1900's. Lovely ❤
I love old homes. There is history, they have charm, character and a warmth that new homes do not have. This house is beautiful.
Beautiful!
What a treasure all the glass jars😊
What a wonderful, old house! Not real fancy, but is like the farmhouse I grew up in. It was built for function and served its purpose well. Thank you for sharing 😊
Wow. There was so much I loved about this one. Simple yet elegant and cozy. Looks completely worth saving. Sad that it was just left with nobody to take it over or sell it. Thank goodness for the metal roof. I could totally see myself fixing it up and making it a home again.
Thank You Kappy
One of the best you have done lately. Thank you
Nice bedroom
It is grand in its simplicity.....
Beautiful as always, thanks for sharing your explores Kappy!
this house had such a good feeling. Thank you for allowing us to see it.
Loved the house and the curtains in all the rooms. The whole place had to be beautiful.
Beautiful house❤
I've just realized that hardly anybody gets the newspaper anymore. Most people either watch the news on TV or get it online. Magazine subscriptions are losing popularity as well.
Deserted homes are going to be different in the future.
She's in fine shape. Metal roofs last just about forever.
Wow! Beautiful old home in surprisingly good shape. ❤
this is so sad. It needs to be saved and fixed up. I love the simplicity of it.
The only word that comes to my mind after watching this explode is AMAZING! Great history & I’m sure that was spectacular in its heyday!
This house is simple but so homey. And still standing strong. I really enjoyed the visit. Thanks!
wow,, that house
is still in gd shape for its age..
It looks similar to the house, Forest Gump and his Mama lived in...
looks so serene & peaceful there...
This is absolutely beautiful I could see myself fixing this up and making it beautiful again. Thank you Kappy!!!
I'm loving it! Very cozy,great porches too,nice place to sit and enjoy a iced tea. I'm hoping maybe a far distant relatives or someone sees it's beauty and history and renovates it . Considering it's age,it's in pretty good shape,just needs some TLC, thanks for sharing,thanks kappy 💯👍😎🤩
Imagine sitting on those porches before that road went in.
That's So Sad for her and The House😢
That HUGE tree in the beginning looked super old! So cool !! From what I can see, this house looked well built and looked structurally sound. 😊
Right! Loved the giant old tree covered in Spanish moss! Thank you for watching! :)
Urban Exploring With Kappy thanks for sharing this video with me my friend about Stunning Abandoned Southern Farm House Left Forgotten For Decades it was a very interesting house kappy and thanks again for sharing it and i can't wait to see your next video and God Bless.
Wow! Love the history! Love those original wood walls & that upper porch with the jagged edges ! Very cool!
I absolutely love these houses and the landscape. Thank you.
Love,love tree in the beginning and end😊
No wonder it was in such good shape -- the metal roof made a big difference. I really like this one. I could envision it as a home to live in and not just a showpiece. Solid and built to last. And the rooms are bigger than some of their fancy counterparts. Thank you Kappy!
Metal roofs do work wonders! Much appreciated for the kind words and watching! :)
Cool house. That tree at the beginning was beautiful.
She's gorgeous 😍
That was a great tour of the old house. Thank you Kappy. I hope the bird got out safely.😉
Hi Kappy. I REALLY like this house! The little balcony, the back porch with bedrooms connected to it, the beautiful color of the wood. I like simple and wooden. It’s great that it stayed in the family the whole time. Thanks for showing us!
This should be remodeled! Thanks gor sharing!😊
