People saying they can't believe these houses are abandoned...well my dad died, and my four sister's wanted to sell the 120 acres that he had with a little house on it, that they never went to...so we sold 40 and I bought the 80 with the house....some people just don't give a dam, their just money hungry...

I had a heater like that at one time. It was a coal stove converted to coal oil. I'm guessing that was probably what caused the fire. Very nice job. Keep bringing them. I'm watching whatever comes up in my feed. Enjoying myself I am!

When I first saw that other person walk into that house it scarred me. There was no indication you were joined until they just appeared inside.

Most likely house shifting over time created cracks, etc in the flue, which is inside the brickwork of the chimney. Creosote builds up in the irregularities, then basically explodes and the entire flue catches on fire, further cracking the flue AND the brickwork all over the place. Superheated smoke and gases seep out, thus the charring of the roof beams. Fortunately THIS ONE wasn't catastrophic and the entire roof didn't burst into flame, which often happens with this old, dry pine or spruce. Just think... I got a 5-yr degree in Engineering from one of the best universities in the country to learn little trivia like that! I hope this helps.

I was spooked by the basement. I lived in an old log house as a child and a basement had been built. I never went. I'm too scared. When you got near the freezer, I shrieked and said, " no! Don't open it!" 🤣 Some of the holes in the house must have been for the pipes / furnace. I love the kitchen. If I'd have money, and lots of ifs... What a great home this would be. If it could talk.... Great video, thank you for sharing.

As a kid, ransacking (yep!, that's probably not too cool of a term, but that's what we did) old abandoned houses was my favorite hobby!

The attic was soooo huge you could put more bedrooms up there, and who else loved that super blue tile in that bathroom woweeeeee

Good to see a wood furnace like that. The house we moved into was built in 1864, and once had duct work in the cellar but it was all taken out and replaced with hot water baseboard. I hadn't seen a wood furnace with duct work until now..

I like the way you show the smallest details like the food in the pantries the dates on things 😀 always interesting to think how at one time they lived

That house is huge. And in its prime would have been an awesome site. It's a shame a family built such a house. Just to have it one day abandoned 😟

I can't get past the thought with all the abandoned houses that the owner either died and had no one to leave the house to or they're in prison...

Funny how one's interests branch out to new topics, and after sampling what KZfaq has to offer, one decides upon a favorite. (The channel's subscribers' commentary contributes to that selection process.) Farm Hunter is a satisfying producer of this fare. Great camerawork, curiosity, not senselessly verbose, knowledgeable, intuitive, experienced, courageous, eye for detail. Good stuff!

What a wonderful house! It's so big and comfortable looking--the attic could even become a third floor (it looks like you can walk upright in it). I especially liked the way the boards around the outside of the attic windows radiated outward instead of being just plain horizontal. Also the door plate and knob in the cellar was beautiful. Those details make this house seem very special.

pretty cool house. the bedrooms upstairs were pretty small but that attic would have been so nice finished in its time. Lots of space up there

It would be interesting if you could get some information on this home from the former tenant, you could add it in your description. Magnificent house.

We had one of those old huge stoves when I was young. You could work in the middle stiring a pot or bowl of something and still have enough room for four pots cooking something. They were wonderful too with two ovens. The holes in the floor were probably for the stove pipes that used to run from floor to floor. This is unusual for the spindals on the attic stairwell to be turned. It was thought the servant weren't good enough to have turned spindals. This was probably an all family run farm and house. Really beautiful huge bedrooms. I didn't see any servants per helpers quarters. Just lovely to see. Thank you

Lol! Bought wee'd my britches! I thought there was an apparition in the doorway! It was your lady friend! Lordy, can you imagine this place in its day? I had furniture like on the front porch. Loved it till the springs decided to make you sit on the floor. Great old place.

Back in the day alot of things came in jars , jelly's , jams , peanut butter , all kinds of stuff. So when they were empty they would wash them out n reuse them for canning all kinds stuff BC they grew , picked n canned all their own veggies n fruits n make sauces n stuff on the farm. Store it in a cool pantry to last them through the winter also. That's farm living.

I can’t believe how many of these places have newspapers from this century. I don’t remember the last time I had one but it was in the 20th century.

Such an awesome house! My great grandparents' house had one of those 'almost vertical' staircases, which I loved as a small kid -- y'know, until I grew up enough that I wasn't comfortable with either having only my toes or heels fitting on the steps. Luckily they had a 'normal' staircase on the other side of the house. XD XD With the burnt wood in the attic and the holes cut into the floor, probably a chimney fire. Looks like they might have been prepping to introduce some central heating and had cut holes for the pipes and vents on the other floors.

Beautiful home. Imagine it today- filled up with useless garbage we use to live our lives.

I like that opening and following shot sequence.

I could watch this for hours! Love this, thanks man

Probably had the fire at one time that didn't jeopardize the structure, and just repaired the living areas. those burn marks in the attic look fairly superficial on the beams and roof slats.

That place is huge! The stairs for the attic would be a great pic and the back wall with the window in the attic as well. Nice video new subscriber here

Take this back down to the bones and rebuild!

Cool I love it when I found one's like this...

Great video, looks like there was a chimney fire in the past- love those old fashioned cathedral like attics.

When I see these old abandoned homes -- it makes me wonder -- WHY do the owners just allow them to get in this condition? I live in the suburbs of Los Angeles, CA -- and you can't buy one of those green port-o-potties for under $300k here in California!! And, here in these videos, we see all of these beautiful old houses left to rot with no one living within them? Why do people do this? This beautiful old house has so much life left in it -- a community could come together and donate the funds and the time to clean up this old home and repaint it and replace what it would need to make it liveable again. It all just seems like such a waste -- especially when you have people like myself -- who've dreamed of owning their own home -- but could never afford to buy one. It has been an unfulfilled dream. Maybe God will give me one when I get to Heaven? It use to be -- that whole towns would come out and help a farmer build his barn -- the men would all come together and help -- and the women would come together and make enough food to feed everyone. Each would donate what they could in labor and food. Where are these values today? If only communities were still able to do that for each other -- I feel that this house would have been saved. I would think that you could probably buy this house with little or no money down. If you're a young person and you have a steady job -- you could probably make an offer on this house.

You need to invest in a brighter torch. Loved this old house. Thanks for sharing. Thumbs up 👍

The attic structure/beams were so beautiful!

That was a great video ! I loved the basement part, i actually recognize some of them jars. I used to can a lot when I was younger & had a garden. Some of them were actual canning jars, Ball,Kerr brand ect.. But the bigger ones look like some I have & used that stuff like Syrup,Molasses & other stuff came in,but when empty could be used again to can & used a quart canning flat & ring. I saw one that was a coffee jar, same as the other one could be used again to can in,they usually used what they called a 'big mouth' fat & ring. Mayonnaise used to come in glass jars & could be used again to to can in. But because they weren't as thick glass, you couldn't put them in a pressure canner,but used them for stuff that didn't need to be boiled as long. Also in the basement,brought back memories of my in-laws,they built a new home years ago, with central air & heat of course, but my father-in-law still wanted a wood burning stove so he put one in the basement with vents got hear to go upstairs. Had a shoot for wood to be put down into the basement & stacked. They always had a big garden & canned a lot, there was shelves all along the wall with canned goods. So when I saw that I immediately thought of them. I enjoyed this a lot. Also glad to see someone with you on this explore. It's dangerous to go alone, in case you have an accident or something. Thanks for another good video..

I guess people don’t can any more so no one stole the canning jars! Thanks for the interesting video. Sad that these beautiful homes are left to rot.

Wow that tall attic space would have been awesome finished

They were for the stove pipes. At some time they had wood or coal stoves for heating the house. They probably had a small stove in several rooms to heat a large house like this. No water damage mean the roof is still intact. When the roof goes the house soon goes. The burnt wood around the chimney mean they probably had a few chimney fires over the years

What you keep calling an oil tank is actually a pressure tank for a water well. The pressure tank sits near the well and works with the pump down in the well to maintain water pressure for the house.

this is a neat house, thank you

I like the houses layout. those stairs are so steep.

Farmhunter have you stopping videoing? I just LOVE your channel!! Excellent work! ❤️👍

Hi everyone! How are you? I love this kind of documentary, abandoned places fascinate me, I wish you much success. kisses

Wow. What you do is amazingly interesting but I’ve watched/read too much horror to do it myself🤭 however, there is this BEAUTIFUL Victorian house in my town that i stumbled upon taking a wrong turn from Costco one day and i found the owner. It’s empty, but was bought in 2013 - they JUST put a huge fence up. My family thinks the owners will tear it down to build two new houses😭 it’s a huge house with a guest cottage, swimming pool, rose garden trellises stone walkways and fountains. Amazing. Thinking about contacting the owner to see if i can have a look. Thought about hoping the fence back when the y’all fence wasn’t there but it’s oddly in the middle of the burbs and across from an elementary school with a huge no trespassing sign so didn’t want to get arrested. Anyway, do you get scared doing this and have you ever walked in on anyone?!🤭

That fire damage is most definitely a chimney fire. I lived in a rental once where my next door neighbor did the same thing to her house. When people burn alot of wood fires for heat and don't get the chimney cleaned out yearly by a chimney sweep, this is the eventual result of such neglect. Burning material will come out the top of the chimney and land on the roof and start burning the house from the top down.

Hi, just watching some older video's, do you think that it could have been a chimney fire that burnt the attic ??. Cool explore of a nice old house.

A big, beautiful house, but it would cost a fortune to renovate it because of the vandalism and overall decay - sad.

Nice video!👍👊

I love these old houses

The baby shoes on the stove were adorable 👀

Chimney fire, and a good thing they got it under control so fast. Usually a chimney will run away and burn the house down.

Did that huge house have only one bathroom? And where was a bathtub? Maybe I missed it, but I don't recall even seeing evidence of plumbing for one. I was surprised you didn't focus and comment on the obvious, many decades of wear on the wooden steps to the basement. Interesting, too, that the foot traffic seemed to favor a distance away from the handrail.

The holes in the floor most likely for the pipe that came from the heating sourse

Holes you see were probably where plumbing went through. Steam heat probably. Usually, the radiators were placed under windows.

That’s probably the biggest house I’ve seen. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it.

That house had a chimney fire. House needs too much work to save it.

Was beautiful back in it's day.

Great videos but caution around these old houses back then they made septic tanks from metal tanks that fall thru when walked over due to rusting out beware

It would be interesting if u or someone else bought it and fix it up love to see what it would look like after words.

My dream home 💓🤗💓

Jeez try running down those stairs. They must be a 3 in run and 5 in rise, my goodness😨😨😨

Excelente 👍

Why would they put in such a tiny staircase, when they already had a beautiful main one? The house is big, but not a mansion...

Open freezers and refrigerator!

Wow!

So much poop in the burnt attic! 😳

Where is this?

Did you ever follow up on this one?

Love the curved stairs

The heat bill for this monster house must've been a real terror

14:39 We saw the same painted face in another episode in a dif house. i think.

I was like- Oh man! The old couch we had when I was a kid! Oh man! The old couch I used to have years ago! Oh man, a murderer LOOK OUT OMG, oh NVM it's your person.

I would like to be there.

I'm sure that hamster wheel is still getting some good use by the large commune of mice and rats that have moved in!🤣

sorry mate its to far gone for a do up !! it really needs to be demolished

I could have sworn someone was opening the front door for you in the beginning.

Act 😐 ⚡Boom!

Farm Hunter....house is too far gone. Would cost too much to fix up and repair. The whole place is in shambles.

nice house with a big attic. I can see the duggers living there if it wasn't left to rot.

Please always open the fridge/freezers!!!!!

I'd say a few coats of paint and this baby is worth double the value!

at 19:46 there is something staring out the middle window on the first floor

The hamster wheel is for the mice and rats!🍀🍀🍀🍀🌹🌹🍀🍀🍀🍀

Have you noticed that there is someone with you in there.

Please call what's a phone call, he's a stranger to you farmer. Just call our curiosity is getting us.

You don’t wear mask on the moldy houses or gloves for your safety

would it be possible of asking you to get the oil burner out of this house since its already falling apart.. and just name your price.... i can't see oil burners going to waste.... not vandalizing the house just the oil burner itself, 3 bolts and it comes out....thank you very much since there is no way getting direct contact with you...... if this house is still standing...

Perhaps it’s haunted.

I like the solo adventures better-distracting.

Is that person your girlfriend???
