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! ❤❤❤

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 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.

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.
