This Old Farmhouse……

 

 

 

old house 004

I have always loved this old house. It is now up for sale and it’s

only $240,000!  I think it includes 41 acres with 12 acres being

hiway frontage which makes it pretty expensive.

It’s also in the city limits.

I am afraid whoever buys it will tear the house down because it doesn’t

look restorable to me.

I couldn’t get close because there was a nasty sign on the gate

so I ran back home and got the long lens...:)

I would have loved to have peeped inside

the windows but that nasty sign

they put up kind of discouraged me from even stepping foot

on the property!...;(

This house has seen better days but I’ll bet it was grand

in it’s day.

A bit of fall around our house...love it!

That is a beautiful old house but there probably has a lot to be done to restore it.

So sad! I wish it could be restored, too. maybe the right buyer will come along.

That is such an awesome place. I so hope it doesn't get torn down. I am hopefully going to be selling at the Canton Flea Market for the December 3rd Market. If I do, I hope you can come out and see me. I'm tentatively going to be at the 6000 Pavilion. Have a great weekend, Theresa

What state is this? I love it. I bet if it's for sale you could get a realtor to take you in. : )

Wouldn't that make a beautiful Texas transformation? I wonder how old it is. As much as I admire it...and would love the 40+ acres...that's not a job I would want to tackle.

Sometimes don't you just wish the walls could talk. Wouldn't you love to know the history of the place...I'm sure there would interesting stories to tell.

What a beautiful house, just imagine what it would look like restored, you'll have to let us know what happens to it.

looks like it could be restored to me and has a LOT more character and soul than new builts of today!

I would be sooo tempted to ignore the sign and sort of run up to get a quick shot. I love the pics you have of the house.

Great old farmhouse. It does need work, but sometimes that is the rewarding part- to be able to restore something from the past. Lovely fall color around your house. Mickie ;)

What a fantastic house.

I love the look of it and I bet that after a bit of restoration it would be magnificent.

I hope that the right owner buys it and turns it into a piece of beauty once again.

I love the difference in the houses in your part of the world to those in Ireland,
it is such a contrast.

Have a good week and thanks for sharing your lovely photos.

I'm sure it was beautiful and well loved once. So sad to see it being unloved, it sure would be nice if that changed!

This would be lovely restored-hope it won't be torn down. I think they need to take their sign down if they want to sell it!

Looks like a lot of work there, but sad if they pull it down.
