What an absolutely gorgeous house & property. The design & craftsmanship are beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with us. It’s too bad the majority of houses built in the U.S. are so poorly built. Beauty is such a key element for an environment.
It's been so long I didn't recognize Mr.Allan but as soon as he spoke I started remembering all the great shows they produced. Here is a man who is original not a spokesman for the top paying corporation.
For 30+ years I said id love to have a new house done like a old house and he did my vision and it's wonderful I'm glad he got the dream. Him and the house are so awesome. Thank you for sharing.
I love the content of this vid, but also the humility and grace displayed in the conversation. I hope our country can return to this kind of interaction being the norm.
Favourite Video so far, what an impressive tribute to heritage. I find this style stands the test of time due to quality, functionality, and of course character. A house that tells a story of many enjoyable lifetimes is home to me.
Love P. Allen Smith!!. I can't call him JUST Allen!!. Lol. Have watched him for 20+years!. Where does the time go!?!? Glad your video came up in my feed!!. Loved it!. ❤
I knew this was P. Allen Smiths home just from the opening shot. I watched it bloom from a garden to this stately home. Glad to see Paul is still having a great life.
I love Victorian homes. When I moved to upstate New York, I was looking for one. But people here really don't take care of these homes, and many were not in good areas. The amount it would take just to get back in shape and add some modern touches would have been double the amount I'm currently in. 1998 Colonial style home.
I've visited Moss Mountain Farm twice at blogger events, and I can say that MMF is even more gorgeous in person, and Allen is a gracious host.Those were unforgettable visits.
I hit the like and subscribe button as soon as I heard Mr. Smith's voice because i figured if this southern gentleman invited you to film his property and home, you must be ok Matt! I missed out on seeing this home built--happened at a crazy busy time of my life but I always purchased anything Mr. Smith did or "P. Allen" as I called him. He is so talented, humble and gracious. ALL the good words I love to say about southern gentlemen. He has created an assisted (an unassisted) living community in my area here in north Louisiana. I could only dream of living there-everything I have seen and heard about it is wonderful. The minute I saw some photos I knew he had to be involved in this project...and my guess was confirmed. Every single detail is thought out-both in the living spaces and the outdoor and how they all relate to one another. He is a genius in my book. I will come back to this video over and over. Thanks Matt Risinger for a great home tour.
His home really did turn out phenomenally. I remember seeing the various stages as it was coming along. The grounds and gardens are just as wonderful. Even the chicken coop is a work of art. Am curious as to where he managed to find the lovely art filling the walls.
I remember watching all the segments while Allen was building Moss Mountain Farm. The Garden work and out-buildings are more impressive than the Home. Allen is the epitome of a Gracious Southern Gentleman. Nice to see him again.
Absolutely stunning at any age. No modern flatpanel, reglets, or abscessed base..... anywhere. Different textures and a full jungle gym for shadows to play with.
Been watching your channel for years now, had no idea you were from Pittsburgh! I'm from Johnstown, Small world! I'm sure living in Texas it is probably a felony to show your steeler support, but anyone from the Burgh has to be a steeler fan! You should talk more about your life in Pa in one of you shows.
FYI. My grandfather bought a farm in 1946. The house on that land was built in 1895. It is in great shape today 130 years later. The only major thing my grandfather did to it, was put a roof on it in 1946. It was a metal roof still there today, hasn't leaked once, and will likely still be there in 2040. When someone says they don't build things like they used to, that is 100% the truth. That farmhouse will outlive anything DR Horton builds for the next decade.
How are the shutters on the front angled away? I'd like some more information on that, it sounds interesting to ensure they're at the correct angle when closed.
*Matt Risinger* Remember following him throughout the build, amazing home & property, thank-you gentlemen for taking the time to show us around. GOD Bless.
Impressive that P. Allen Smith knew, 20yrs ago, that to get a 'new house with and old soul', he needed to create a narrative of the desired history of the new house and then have the architect and builder create to that narrative.
Why do aMEricans wear their dirty shoes into the house? You see Asian influencers always saying it’s an Asian thing but my family and extended family all had that rule. Take your shoes off! Don’t track dirt into the house! LOL 😝 my Mom would be so upset if she saw this. BUT! The interior design is absolutely stunning! The lighting in the kitchen is amazing. 🤩 I love that kitchen. ❤ it fun to see these beautiful homes. I’m too poor to ever dream of owning one. 😊
@@suavocado69looks nasty. Like the painter didn't do his job right. Maybe that's an easy Coast thing or something. I wouldn't want my house looking like that. But then again, I was born and raised in the concrete jungle of Phoenix where every house built since 1990 is stucco and most houses built before that were stucco, but also had wood panel siding.
@@MikeHarris1984 I think it's the character they're going for. You can also see the underlying brick in several other segments, especially right at the beginning from 2:30. Picture yourself looking at 1,000 year old homes along the Greek coast. That's the aesthetic, though yellow probably isn't the best color. Also, I'm not sure Arkansas is considered East Coast.
@@MikeHarris1984 It cannot appear like paint because it is not a paint. It is a wash made from alum, hydrated lime powder, pigment and water. Without pigment it would be called whitewash.
I respect the job but I hate the fake brick finish. I dont believe in pandering to the current fad whatever it is and the brick finish is fake to draw attention instead of just doing a quality job. Nice house. The fireplace trim is nice. Natural gas lights would have been a nice touch. I recommend everyone doing this type of build should get them.
Wow the background music is quite loud I really noticed starting in kitchen walk through. Then it goes silent temporarily when discussion of dishwasher occurs big difference too loud.
It's a beautiful house, but if my great grandad got rich because people toiled from birth to death under his whips, that would be a deep source of shame, not an aesthetic to replicate.
Traditional open hearth indoor fireplaces are one of the worst things to have in a modern house. They emit SO MUCH air pollution and are incredibly inefficient and a huge fire hazard.
Absolutely stunning. What a gracious host. Thank you Mr. Smith, for sharing your home with us, and Matt, for making this video happen. Bravo.
Staggeringly well conceived, appointed , and so livable . I am beside myself with appreciation .

Yes! As a southerner, I felt your comment in my heart-well said Tim.
The thought that went into every detail of this house ... truly a pleasure to hear

I am blown away by this home!!!!
If i had the money, i would build a old style victorian, or plantation home with the big hall right down the middle. Love this so much! ❤❤❤

WOW! Allen is one of my design idols and such a humble and self effacing person
5 Stars! Holy Smokes!!!! Beauty nothing less!

P. Allen Smith. 🎉
Truly magnificent, such a rarity to see such beautiful design and build quality in this day and age, let alone 20 years ago. A home for the ages
Spectacular is hardly enough to say about this property, great job showing it off.
That P. Allen, he’s a wizard!😊❤

I’m in complete awe of this house! Best episode ever, thanks for sharing.
I love a new house with an old soul. Best of both worlds.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤❤❤
I love EARLY AMERICAN /COLONIAL Stunningly beautiful. 😍

Am curious as to where he managed to find the lovely art filling the walls.
love, love, love this house!
I do so enjoy P. Allen Smith and his show. Such a treasure.
I’ve toured this home and farm. It’s stunning.
I remember watching this series on PBS. The entire property is amazing. I can’t believe it’s been twenty years.
I remember watching all the segments while Allen was

are more impressive than the Home. Allen is the epitome of a Gracious
Southern Gentleman. Nice to see him again.
Gorgeous house and interior design.
Matt!You hit the nail on the head!P. Allen Smith has an unbelievable farm and property.Best show yet.Thanks
I do recall the PBS series on the construction and development of the property. The Summer kitchen was the kicker for me.
Absolutely stunning at any age.
No modern flatpanel, reglets, or abscessed base..... anywhere.
Different textures and a full jungle gym for shadows to play with.
Beautiful house. Thank you for sharing this amazing house.
What a stunning estate!
I’m a random viewer. Beautiful home and such a truly charming host.
This is one of my favorite houses I have ever seen!❤
Awesome house …. Just love it
Amazingly beautiful house.
This is how we would want to build our dream home. An 1880s - 1900s style house but without all the 1880s issues haha
A builder and that is an amazing home. Thank you for the tour
That house is beautiful! It's too big for me, but the design is excellent.
Imagine hide n seek for the grandchildren must be incredible or frustrating.
Ok…..favorite house of all time hands down
Definitely one of my favourite episodes. Wow.
Wow, Matt mentioned a Rumford fireplace? See some of those being built and burning at my. Brick Saver LLC
I'm only 5 seconds in and what a beautiful home. Wow.
Absolutely Outstanding Home...⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

terrific
Beautiful home!
This is the house I want to live in, except not in Arkansas.
Miss your videos❤
Next time you come to Arkansas give me a call, would love to take you to lunch HUGE FAN of the build show
This new old house

The The passive solar domestic hot water heating sounds interesting particularly for southern climates.
Wow…would have liked to see the fourth floor!
Superb
Nice
Yoda takes Obi Wan on a house tour. Well done.
A delight
Copper tub is nice
Where is the link to his UA-cam so we can watch the garden episodes please?
How are the shutters on the front angled away? I'd like some more information on that, it sounds interesting to ensure they're at the correct angle when closed.
Where’s the link to the homeowners channel?
With some of the oldest homes the middle section is original. As the family grows so does the house. Usually like bookends.
*Matt Risinger* Remember following him throughout the build, amazing home & property, thank-you gentlemen for taking the time to show us around. GOD Bless.
No thanks

Anywhere to find the floor plan?
Hey Build Show Editors, the music in the background has a very annoying drum beat, Very distracting...
Nice to know that they actually do still build them like they used to.
Unfortunately that’s probably a $3 million dollar house.
Beautiful house…but someone went a little overboard with the lights in the kitchen 😂😂
Matt loves everything except the open fireplace 😂

Is that mold growing on the walls when they are on the back patio??? @14:00 time frame
Worn limewash - no mold

"What's in Allen's cupboard?" Some jokes are just too easy.
Where is Brent? Would have been nice to see these two talking to each other.
The home's windows don't appear to be true divided light windows. That aside, the home's exterior is great.
Very nice house but is really strange to put so much effort into making a new house look old.
He got the details right….
The house is stuffed to the gills with just.... stuff
😃👍🏼👊🏼
15:53 The sexual tension.
Well, I know what I’m doing when I win the lotto…

P. Allen Smith's commitment to historical authenticity is so great, that he actually owns slaves!
Why is this only uploaded in 1080 it’s 2024.
