If that land and house could talk!!!! I'd love to hear the stories!!!

That place is in remarkably good condition for it's age and lack of maintenance.

Incredible - no asinine selfies (despite how many mirrors you passed) no dumb narration, and best of all no stupid music added. Because of that I felt like I was there with you... THUMBS UP!

I am SOOOOO RELIEVED AND GRATEFUL THAT GORGEOUS MANSION IS BEING SAVED AND RESTORED!!!!!💖💖💖💖

I love that you showed all the place in quietness!

lived about 10 miles from this my whole life - so glad to see it being restored now

Wow I could live on side of this house and my husband could live on the other side How lovely is that

I can only imagine the type of spirits that are in that house .

March 2016 UPDATE: The mansion is going to be restored and work has already started. PLEASE DO NOT trespass! There is a security guard now posted on site. All updates can be seen at facebook.com/SelmaMansionRebirth2/

these abandoned beautiful houses just makes me think we don't take our ritches and wealth to heaven afterall.

The home is beautiful and I am happy that someone was brave enough to save this piece of history. I hope a video will be made once the restoration is finished.

That top floor view was incredible. Beautiful old place.

Very nicely done. Thank you for not babbling or adding ridiculous music to this video. Lovely old mansion with lovely vistas.

In 1990 I attended the wedding reception of a congressman's daughter there. I remember approaching the house on a driveway that seemed to be a mile long. We had cocktails in the room with the piano and tables were set in that beautiful foyer for dinner. It was a relatively small group of about one hundred people and we all had a wonderful time. The house was magnificent! I never would have guess the house would ever be in that condition. What a shock to see it in this unbelievable state, but so very happy to see below that it is now undergoing restoration. The sense of history and the architecture are two of the things I miss the most about living in the Washington, D.C. area.

metal detecting the grounds is sure to yield some interesting finds

This house is still full of life.I can still feel the enrrgy.

Thank you for not talking.

Thanks! That was a great tour and the place not having been vandalized makes it so much sweeter!

Thanks for posting this wonderful old plantation house! So thankful it’s getting restored!

Imagine drinking your coffee in the morning and all the fireplaces are burning and your taking in the view with that long driveway right in the center. Yes, I'm there now.

The FIRST thing I notice about this place is there's NO GAFFITI. And that's a good thing. Thanks for the upload. I love the iron stand-alone tubs and the exposed plumbing. And the wood works is amazing. In a LOT of the videos I've seen posted there's so much graffiti the structure is practically beyond repair.

Wow, that mansion was certainly a place of grand splendour in it's day. The rooms are endless as are the fireplaces! I really enjoy watching these videos and I wish I had some interesting places to explore but none where I live. Good video, thank you!

This place has now had a million$$ restoration. It’s fabulous!

What a magnificent house. One can only wonder how it ended up neglected and abandoned.

What character and quality this old home was graced with!! What a shame to let it go because they don't build them like this anymore. It is not beyond repair....just needs someone with money and a good heart to bring it back to it's former glory!! So sad to see a fine home in this condition!!

It's really important for people/banks to move these places on if they cannot restore or maintain them. At least the former occupants' personal things were dealt with. Not all people are so fortunate. We used to live next to a huge abandoned mansion in Cobbs Creek, Virginia that was owned by the Meade's. Unfortunately, they died childless and left the old place to a "loving" nephew, who "honored" the couple's memory by immediately calling in an auctioneer to get rid of their most valuable things, leaving the place so unlocked that raccoons and vines moved in and entwined themselves on drapes and furnishings, and allowing his aunt's personal hygiene products, cosmetics, and old love letters to be strewn about the house for years. He just let it sit open for quite a while before he cashed the property in with a buyer. All of these things were found when the local volunteer fire department eventually came to burn the place to the ground in a training exercise (and to solve the demolition problem of the new owner). People who walked through the home before the blaze could not believe how the Meade's heirs (among whom there was that nephew) had treated their personal things. Makes the childless think twice before willing money to a relative just on account of blood relations. If you ARE fortunate enough to be left property, do not let it rot away and more importantly, spare your relatives the dishonor and posthumous humiliation of having their unmentionables and personal items displayed for the general public.

The views from the windows are spectacular! 👀

So so sad. As a builder this video breaks my heart.

That’s the largest bird house I’ve seen. Look at all those monitors. The bird has a lot of computers.

I can never ever bring myself to the point, why these magnificent houses can be left from glory to decay and totally fall along the way. How come some houses are left for vandalist's, and other's can keep very old fine furniture's and other stof inside, and nobody removes them, are they not all to respect as past living homes for somebody. When I se the video from ,Belle Grow' in the south I cry, because it is obvius, that it does not matter, that an importent piece of history, ends up in decay and fall. Thank you for showing these forgottens places, hopefully the goverment's around the world, who look the other way, will come up with a better solution than decay and fall. There are so many beautiful homes all over the world, just left to slow death, and yet millions of people are living on the street's, I dont get it at all......

This was actually a beautiful house. I'm very fascinated by these houses and their layouts

Love the fireplaces in each bedroom. I'm old enough to remember houses with the "feeted" bathtub.

No old mansion would be complete without the classic pyramid of computer monitors

That staircase, oh, to see such a beautiful house fall into ruin!

That place is huge. It would be interesting to know the history of the house and property. Thanks for the tour.

What a beautiful place. Imagine the stories those walls could tell.

thank you for not talking through the whole thing like most people do. The house was very cool.

I can only imagine how beautiful this mansion was in it's time!

A real Victorian home that was built only for Virginia. I cannot even fathom all that took place there from years gone by. A true landmark in time for all to enjoy and wonder. Thanks for sharing.

I got freaked out when I heard the piano keys, I thought a ghost was playing it until I saw their hand 😂😂😂😂

if i we're to restore this beauty I'd keep it as vintage as possible fill it with antiques . I'm in love with this gorgeous beauty Selma

Selma is now a private home and absaloutly stunning ❤❤❤❤

I was so glad to read in your description that this gorgeous home was no longer abandoned and was being restored. Very elegant

Oh my gosh! How is no one not restoring this house?!! It’s absolutely gorgeous!

it's so sad to see this place abandoned. i wish someone would buy it & then fix it up. it would be beautiful

Well worth a proper restoration! Stunning property! Thank you for posting!

So glad it's being restored and that there was no graffiti sprayed all over the building. It is a beautiful property with some beautiful views

You know this house is probably haunted but it's a beautiful home

What an amazing place. While I'm glad it will be restored, I'm really enjoying seeing it as it is. Those fireplaces are Magnificent.

So glad it’s being restored!!! That staircase broke my heart

I love that you got in to document this home before it was restored! Thank you for sharing!!

Good to hear a rich person got it and brought it back to life! So many of the old mansions are left to rot because of the incredible expense (millions!) required to restore them.

Such a crying shame this house is abandoned. It needs someone to bring it back to it's former glory so pretty. Someone rich buy this house and fix it!

Thank you so much for your work. I appreciate that you have added no commentary as that allows me the opportunity to feel like I am having the actual experience without someone else's input.

This home by as been completely restored and is absolutely fabulous. They did an amazing job. The link to the photos are linked in one of these comments... this was a real labor of love

I thought this was Selma, Alabama at first before reading the description. I'm like, "I've never seen this place down here before in my life" 🤣🤣

Beautiful old home if someone had the money to fix up. The view from the upper windows is breath taking. Thank u

Wow, that house has some amazing, old architectural details still intact. In particular, it is especially awesome to see sooo many bathrooms with their turn of the century tile work, sinks, tubs, and even toothbrush holder mounts STILL in place!! It is nearly always the kitchens and bathrooms that lose their period details first, so it is a shame to see a home with so many old details decaying away. The staircase is impressive too. Thank you for showing us such a unique and lovely, large old home! One last thought too...I live in a circa 1913 home and have many period details that I need to put BACK into my home. We don't have many architectural salvage yards in the Denver metro area, and it would be great to have access to more materials at a better price. I sure wish there was some way to obtain the architectural salvage items in these old homes left to decay into oblivion, and instead transfer them to lived in homes for further use. The quality of many old items is far superior and more unique/beautiful than most of the garbage we make today....and at a minimum it is also easier on the wallet and helps spare the environment when old materials are repurposed. So why is it not more common that these sorts of old resources are pooled, sold, and re-utilized?!

I could see someone doing a piano solo with a sad melody in that room. Good to hear someone renovated it.

Bringing this beauty back to life will be quite an achievement.

What always pisses me off about these abandoned houses is the broken windows. Why do people feel the need to break windows on abandoned houses? It makes me want to punch them in the face hard. It doesn't make you the "cool kid" to break the windows. Broken windows are one of the main things that causes these structures to go downhill fast.

I love the wallpaper, such a beautiful home. I'd try to restore it to its old look the best I could if I were a renovator!

Beautiful mansion . i would love to buy. Thanks for sharing .

Please someone buy this beauty & lovingly restore her glory. STUNNING! The view from the windows are AMAZING so you have to purchase all the land around it as well to keep modern development from encroaching.

so glad to hear it's going to be saved. It breaks my heart when I hear about historic homes falling in disrepair or worse torn down. That is a national tragedy.

That is really cool!! I can't believe how many of the finishes are still there. & in pretty good shape. It's a shame no one loves it enough to fix it up. Also super cool no one has came in & stole all the pretty molding & fireplace mantels. Thanks for sharing! Love it! :)

Lol I’ve partied in this house, it’s all renovated now

tragic to see a big beautiful house like that fall into ruin

Thank you for this... real life Gone With the Wind

Glad this beautiful place is being restored

The sounds of just the birds chirping sent chills down my spine and I started crying like a baby. I feel like that’s the spirits talking through the birds. That may sound weird. But I’m a very spiritual person so you may not feel where I’m coming from

Thank God it has been rescued & saved ! Well done video Brian .

What an amazing place, I would not be surprized if it had a few ghostly hangers on. I could imagine living there myself.

Are there no heirs to a place like this? How could anyone let this beauty sit and decay?

I really this beautiful, elegant home was rescued by the right buyer. Stunning! Thanks for posting.

It’s so good to see a grand old house that’s NOT completely trashed and riddled. Thanks for showing this.

I feel the spirits in that house

Sorry, but this is not a plantation house. At least, not in the sense of pre-civil war plantations. This is an early 20th Century replica of an early 19th Century home. In architectural terms, it's called "Colonial Revival," a style popular in America from roughly 1890 to 1940---long after the age of plantations.

Stunningly beautiful home. Imagine it in its prime.

I love The fact that you don’t talk. Some of the guys that do these videos are so annoying. And you hold the camera steady. Thank you so much. 👍🏻👍🏻

Whenever it was built doesn't matter. One can still appreciate its beauty in it's old age. You can't erase history; it is what it is.

Such a grand old place. I am very glad that someone is restoring it! :DD

Such a beautiful place ,how can they let it run down !!

Love, love you!! Thank you for no noise but your footsteps. I subscribed! Beautiful home and really made me feel I was there

I was just waiting to see Scarlett O'Hara sitting out front with the Tarleton twins.

I am in total love with this house! If I were rich I would buy this and bring it back to it's grander. Thank you SO much for sharing!!

Great video. Perfect length!!! Thank you 😊

Exquisite tour. Thank you for ALL the silence during filming 💯

If a person had a few million dollars to sink into it, it would be a beautiful home again.

Thank you so much for sharing ! I'm so glad you took film instead of pics it made me feel I was there ! OMG what a beautiful old home ! I wish some one like Nichole Curtis would get it and restore it to it's former glory ! But can you imagine back in the day you've just come down all those stairs realizing you left something behind in your bedroom then you have to walk up all those stairs again lol ! Thank you so much for sharing this I love old houses !!

WOW such awesome beauty. Thank you for the video.

You wouldn't believe how it looks now beyond beautiful . Owned by good people that do alot for the community

This house is absolutely stunning, I would love to see it when the restoration has finished!

I hope someone buys this place and restores it.. It's a perfect example of early Georgian design in the late 1800's and not in bad shape considering.. If only people would stop breaking in and vandalizing it!

Thank you for bringing us this one ❤️ Great choice!

I am glad they are restoring this home. Its a beauty.

Filmed exquisitely, thank you!!!!! Such a beautiful place; there are no words. 🌷🦊

That would be a cool place to live. I would be too scared though, its probably haunted ☠

Wow that's freaking incredible.

I really hope someone saw this and bought it in the 5 years since its been up. Such a beautiful home once upon a time, be nice to restore it.
