Abandoned house in the woods with old cars

This house sits on a pretty sweet lot near a small body of water, youll find out that the house is pretty wasted but its actually for sale... starting price is $875,000 little out of my price range but hey maybe this video will help you sell it...

[@genericallyaccepted]

Icpink Queen the banks kicked them out. Then they just sit on the property instead of letting someone buy it. During college I had a job where I would fill out contracts from every bank you could think of to make contact with homeowner, fill out a survey, and take a bunch of pictures of house. Some of the vacant houses still had plenty of belongings inside, like they were locked out without a chance to get back in. Some of these houses were scary as hell and once I ran into a squatter.

I've seen dozens and dozens of abandoned homes. About half of them were abandoned for obvious reasons, (like being too close to a river or destroyed by storm, etc.), but I've seen a few that really made me wonder why they just get left to rot. It would be nice to learn the history behind some of them, like this one. I'd watch a documentary like that about abandoned houses and their history.

[@SweetFLGuy1]

I saw and read that interesting history. Started out in 1884 on 45.8 acres of land but in this article I read only 9 acres is left after the county bought most of the land to build a park nearby. See article here: www.washingtonpost.com/local/for-sale-the-faded-grandeur-of-the-winderbourne-mansion/2016/04/18/2138eeda-0568-11e6-a12f-ea5aed7958dc_story.html

[@letrebuchet6098]

SweetFLGuy1 Thanks for the update, and I love the huge photo. In my opinion, Pickrell is being way too avaricious in asking so much for this amazing property. If he really wants it to be restored to its former glory, it should be donated to a non-profit Restoration Project that will use volunteers to do the work and pay him a percentage of the tourist take when it's finished. There are scads of historical edifice buffs -- many of them right here in these comments -- who'd be delighted to contribute their time, effort, and goods to such a project, as has been done many times before on other historic mansions, one of which is the now glorious Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum right here in Norwalk, CT.

[@postaltraining]

if i was guessing- by the looks of the innards- i'd say time stopped in about '78 and probably was a widow of the guy who probably owned all that farm land that has been partially developed for commercial, some residential use that's across the train tracks. there have to be some relatives for it to be for sale as it is and not up for tax bill sale. they must have taken the cash from the estate and left the house to rot. it's very possible that's a balloon frame old style house with no installation- cool stuff but impossible to keep heat in or out of it lol

I don’t want to sell because my parents worked for it and I was the only one that wanted it. I meant to move back and build but bank wouldn’t give me the money so ended up buying a new house about 25 miles from it.I wish we knew the story behind the house, there were lots of cars and farm equipment.

[@hoochrocks]

This is the Winderbourne Mansion. It was built in 1884 by Enoch and Mary Totten. He was a prominent Washington lawyer and Civil War veteran, shot four times at the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House. (A minie ball passed through his right hand after ricocheting off his saber.) Mary's father was Timothy Howe, a senator from Wisconsin and the cousin and heir of Elias Howe, who perfected the sewing machine. All three of the Tottens’ children caught typhoid fever; contracted, it was believed, from tainted drinking water at Winderbourne. One died. A Totten daughter, Edith Totten, became a doctor and adopted a daughter of her own. This child was killed after sliding down - and, presumably, flying off - the long bannister at Winderbourne. Edith herself dropped dead at age 48 after delivering a lecture at Johns Hopkins University. Edward Pickrell Jr., inherited Winderbourne and stayed there until his death in 2004. Paxton Pickrell (now in his 70's) is the current owner. It has an offer pending on Zillow for $875,000. 15001 Barnesville Rd, Boyds, MD 20841. The legal description says "FRIEND IN NEED HARD STRUGGLE" whatever that means.

[@goondocksaints9597]

...and a hot rod hearse parked in front, lol.

[@calebzeller4290]

I thought the same too. lol

[@kevinshaneweeks]

Sad to see an old house like this not restored!

[@victoriaballard7354]

Just like American democracy, houses across the United States are decaying. So many homeless yet thousands of these abandoned houses can be seen on you tube alone.

[@pipilangstrumpf3109]

Thank you for sharing this, one of the most amazing abandoned videos I've seen until today. And very good recording abilities!

[@cocksicklestick]

thank you and your welcome!

[@jkclassy3643]

Completely agree it's a nice vid.

[@carsonpark2117]

Music is perfect

[@WadeWilson-]

Perfect for a horror story

[@GeetaGalaway]

doesn't anyone see the blurry weird thing at 0:52?

[@emmabelate7897]

Geeta Galaway it's a fly on the lense

[@laurabergstrom6158]

I just saw that also, and wondered! LOL

[@MMGJ10]

I love these videos. This house is amazing. A real shame it fell into such disrepair but still really cool to see. As a bricklayer, the chimney right up through the middle of the peak is pretty cool too. I feel bad for the poor bastards that had to build it though. Lol.

[@dianealden8413]

Will bulldoze it for rights to pick through the crap. Seriously, some places are not worth salvaging, this is one. Nice house, like the layout, curved porch is awesome, but this is beyond a money pit. Yould have to put a couple million into it, not worth it. Too bad someone let it decay so badly. About all you get is a greatblocation near water for 875,000.

[@ixnexus]

I WANT SO MUCH HISTORY ON THIS HOUSE

[@sheliapea1387]

Obito Uchiha read through comments it tells history and pending price

[@DavidRice111]

Excellent camera work! Imagine what that beautiful old place looked like in 1940.

[@jmarty409]

I guess someone already hauled off Norma Bates and her rocking chair to be auctioned off on Ebay.

[@CaalamusTube]

:P ...did you watch the whole movie?

[@StevenOsburnHollywood]

Yeah, first shot looks just like Bates Motel. I thought I was on the Universal back lot for a minute.

[@CaalamusTube]

Steven Osburn ...but, there was no Norma Bates :P Only sad, crazy Norman :[

[@majorneptunejr]

Yes there was a Norma Bates. He had her stuffed body hidden in the basement.

[@CaalamusTube]

Paynen D. Butt ...fair enough. But throughout the movie it was always Norman when you thought you were dealing with Norma. Hence the foreshadowing Norma/Norman.

[@MADPunkyHeartLESS]

I wonder what happened to the family, though. Did they just up-and-leave? Were they kicked out, were they killed? This house holds a lot of mystery to me.

[@thetrillest7132]

They passed away

[@twstf8905]

Turn volume down to like 30% to be even close to tolerable!

[@catconcannon1714]

The music is too much for me to to even turn down

[@mangojones3707]

Professional quality filming. Nice job.

[@EndohMiharu]

This is a beautiful video omg. o.o It's like I'm watching a movie.

[@goodfellasinc.5648]

I can't believe no one's commenting on The two 62 convertible Impalas 65 and the other Buick convertible they may look bad but worth a lot of money the way they sit I would be interested in getting them if anyone knows how to contact them I appreciate it thanks

[@bjsilva966]

Goodfellas Inc. I said the same thing those cars are gold!

[@DrewSohl]

Goodfellas Inc. Looks like seats,engines,and lights removed on some.

[@goodfellasinc.5648]

You gotta work with what's there I know it looks like a mission but it's possible you do know that they're going for half a million to a million in China Japan and the UK all those people are starting to get the lowrider hot rod fever and it's becoming an epidemic so they're paying big money for the G body and Impala cars that's motivation enough anyhow the guy that produced this video should be working in Hollywood perfect shots angles the whole enchiladas good day

[@bjsilva966]

Goodfellas Inc. ya I have a 62 impala so that's the 1st thing that caught my attention especially being convertible!

[@DrewSohl]

Goodfellas Inc. The house is left to decay,but the classic cars easily could have been towed away and sold,years before they rotted also.Sad.

[@CrabSpirits]

This is the "Winderbourne" mansion, or "Totten House". Constructed in 1884 by an heiress of the guy who invented the modern sewing machine. She had children who all got typhoid. One died. Another child died trying to slide down the banister in the house. Last lived in around 2004. Much of the land of the original estate was sold to the Black Hill Regional Park, or eaten by the man-made lake. They should have sold the house to the park instead of trying to cash out at the height of the Great Recession. Maybe it would have been saved, since it's on the national register of historic places. It's been on the decline since the 80's, and now looks beyond hope. Like others have said, probably the best "abandoned" video on KZbin. Great filming, music, and highly-intriguing subject.

[@Marc-xk1rb]

I wish the the author would have told us this in the video instead of me having to scroll down the comments for 5 minutes. thanks for the info. otherwise the drone take this video to the next level

[@teinspringz]

Was thinking the clothes on the clothes rack and wardrobes looked in good condition for something abandoned in 1974. Cheers for your comment

[@skeetersaurus6249]

It's the Winderbourne Mansion, not the Totten House (different house). It's in Maryland, it is surrounded by now-county-owned property, and they have made a move to 'condemn to reclaim' against the property once, already. High pricing is a serious curse to it, too. While he (the current owner) may be trying to 'scare' the county repossessers, he is also pricing it so far out of the park, that only a conservancy will ever make a move. It is on the list of 'National Historic Places', so if you buy the 9-acres (where the lake has already ate the rest), then you get a choice, restore it perpetually to keep it as it is, or drop the BIG BUCKS and restore it to the way it was when lived-in, while the National Historic Society watches your every move, and insists you spend twice too much to fix it up. What a joke - the term 'White Elephant' can't even begin to describe this black-hole of a financial nightmare. Great video, though.

[@roymarksberry4152]

That was someone's dream home

[@animeamy1]

It's gorgeous! I love the music and editing of this video. Awesome job! If I had the money I would buy it lol

[@Eli-ft1qh]

uuuuummmmm its been so long since that houous was not abandon

[@KenJohnsonMusic]

The things you can do with drones these days is amazing. Loved this video. Wouldn't watch it alone at night though. LOL

[@charlibaltimore7641]

I agree, I loved the fluid motion of the drone. Made it easier to watch.

[@alanfreeman7374]

Does look kinda spooky. =-)

[@lonewolfette]

I just watched it alone at night in the dark... Totally creeped out now...

[@norabragg4513]

I just watched it in the daytime still kinda creepy!

[@palerider55]

The last person that lived in that place died there, and it's haunted. That's why no one has ever wanted to live there since.

[@pilarsalazar4353]

William Hollister how you know that????

[@Steven_McCrae]

Two things i would not open in that house....the fridge and that suitcase haha

[@kamalakrsna]

I thought: "the MONEY is in the suitcase" !!!

[@postaltraining]

it looks like crackheads have ransacked that place pretty good- it wasn't mouses or rats that dumped everything out of every possible box / storage vessel lol

[@briand.1694]

Or just kids

[@RoxanaIcaSuteu]

That's the first two things that I would open first if I would be there exploring that house,the fridge and the suitcase,I am a very curious person so I know I would love to see what's in the fridge and the suitcase,and definitely I would go specifically in the basement(if the house does have one),and in the attic.

[@sonniquickpianoimprov2231]

Amazing filming. It was like a work of art. Also amazing the number of windows that were unbroken.

[@zaynkhan5104]

It's in my home state Maryland;) I just wanna take time and explore every depth of this house..

Me too, can I go with you?

[@shyano1858]

Zayn Khan anyone to go with me

[@trishhinkle4923]

Zayn Khan , what county?

[@freebird5548]

First time viewing your video. Although, I absolutely loved that house and it was a really fantastic find. You seemed to be rally rushed to get out. There were so many awesome finds to explore, yet you rapidly passed the objects by. As I'm watching I'm just wish g I could yell and say "NO", go back what was that? Some positive feed back slow down so the video may be fully enjoyed. Remember we're not in these places and fast cameras movements not only cause a sense of dizziness, but there is so much really groovy stuff that is simply just scanned by. Please, as a viewer allow us to see what is left behind. The old furniture, old mantles, antique hardware, etc. This is what we watch for. Thanks for sharing however and that house was truly a hidden treasure. Peace~n~Love

[@crazyburkey3677]

never know how fast some folks need to leave a home☠📯🐿

[@trashpakker]

How about cardiac arrest? Im guessing thats what happened here. No family either.

[@h7pubg]

trashpakker yeah but typically homes are immediately sold to the insurance agency who then turns around and sells it to someone else soon after

[@darkowarrior2110]

Imagine the generations of families who lived in this house

[@giselewolfe7669]

I loved this video. Smooth and creative camera work with an inspiring, uplifting musical score allows my mind to fill in the blanks and relive the lives of the house’s inhabitants. Much better than our mental process being framed by a guide’s confining, repetitive remarks. I felt like the spirit of the people who lived there, swishing around from room to room, taking a loving look around the old cars I worked on, running up the stairs as children, and finally riding and getting an appreciative overview of the house, the property, the land. Just a wonderful wonderful experience. Thank you so much for creating this piece of art and for sharing it with us. Amazing!

[@johndoedoe4840]

Nice wordplay! I wish I could do that.

[@moodyjeep]

Stunning camera work, Brilliant editing 10/10 Thanks for sharing this awesome work. Regards Baz (England).

[@effooo2000]

by the looks of the interior of the house whoever lived there must have left quickly

[@effooo2000]

seeing that they left all there belongongs

[@kelseystyles6277]

effooo2000 or an older person lived there and the kids never cleaned it out after they passed away

[@flopinvictus5646]

or they just didn't have kids

[@effooo2000]

no i mean they left behind all of their possessions

[@flopinvictus5646]

Maybe they were one of the people the government stole for mk ultra

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

How strange and fascinating! Who in their right mind would just up & abandon everything like that? It looks like a mid-60's time capsule- like the owners just left and never came home again. It doesn't appear as if they "packed up what they wanted and left", you know? Imagine how your own place would look- if you had no Friends or Relatives, and either died or were incarcerated for life while out one day.

[@starchief5]

I'm sure the owners are dead. Savagely murdered no doubt. Live in a big old creepy house out in the woods and you are automatically dead meat. I've seen it in a hundred movies.

[@starchief5]

As real estate people say, all it needs is a little TLC.

[@daves.9479]

It also looks as though it has been ransacked multiple times.

[@davehshs651]

+starchief5 And you believe that a hundred horror movies depict reality?

[@gosportjamie]

With the number of flies in that one room I rather suspect that the last resident probably died there and wasn't discovered for some time. The decomposition fluids penetrate the wood pretty much permanently and continue to attract the flies. It could be a lovely house but as an apparently wood framed property in that state of disrepair it is possible that too much damage may have occurred already for it to be saved, sadly...

[@jasonwilliams6338]

The winderboure mansion in Boyd's MD Nice

[@jamdoughnuts930]

Nearly $1million for this house they must be crazy your going to need another $2million to get it up to date

[@97I30T]

I think it must be on a pretty big chunk of land. There's no way the house itself is worth $875k.

[@97I30T]

***** I did some research and this house is actually a registered historic landmark. You'd have to jump through of ton of hoops with the city and county it's in to demolish it because of that. Hopefully someone restores it.

[@revellanotvanella]

Rich 😂😂

[@DoubleDogDare54]

A couple thousand in the right hands and the place can mysteriously catch fire one night and burn to the ground. Darn those tramps following the railroad tracks. They must have tried to start a fire that night because it was so cold. And it got out of hand, it did. That's how one "demolishes" places of this sort.

[@97I30T]

[@benchkey]

Location probably is the key to the price.

[@petermundy3339]

Also how much land attached

[@icyuranus404]

they need the money for crack

[@IanRogerson8420]

Would be fantastic if it could be saved , or at least as much as possible saved and the rest rebuilt to the original specs .. probably cost way more than would be feasible ..

the video looks like its taken from a drone camera..

[@BIGSNAKE16]

Bummer. Back in the day that must have been a beautiful home. Too far gone for any restoration.

[@tiprat5051]

HELLRAISER not to far gone at all

[@lewisner]

Yeah once you empty all the junk out it has good bones. The roof looks watertight and most of the windows are OK.

[@MARCHINGBANDtbone]

The roof was caved in in certain places. You'd have to replace everything in order for it to be safe.

[@2strokepower803]

This is like an old house in Sweden nearby. No one really knows when it's built it's really old. Lovely place high up. Last things is from 40-50s. It's sadly a hole in the roof that gets bigger and bigger every year. Not many people in Sweden care about their old houses and barns.

[@vanessamanning5358]

Surprised none of the house restoration shows, or home historical society cant raise enough money to restore it it's beautiful. The scenery is gorgeous

[@jimjag122]

idc whose vids you did or did not use but this was great editing and adding things,for the music ii thought it went very well with the whole video...2 thumbs up mann!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cocksicklestick]

thanks jag...do you know what other video people keep talking about by any chance?

[@jimjag122]

Not off hand...do a search

[@sollocurry9723]

My thang is how abandon houses get trashy??? Like they just be like let’s trashed the place before we live.😂😂😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️

[@denverdanoreno]

Call The maid Brigade so I'll have it cleaned up in a jiff. 30-50k a good start. Noticed the Oldsmobile had Maryland plates. There's so many a abandoned properties in America it's not funny. If I were wealthy, I'd bid on them, fix m up and help poor Families out, with at least a 550 credit score...kidding.

[@chiroxxxrt]

its crazy how its just left behind

[@lin8148]

You are a good man Dan..

[@wilkesjournal]

I noticed the Oldsmobile was actually a Buick.

[@music04777]

Would love to know the history behind that house. Must have been beautiful in it's time. If walls could talk bet there would be so many stories from that house alone.

[@lindastonebraker2512]

Exactly😉

[@CrabSpirits]

See my reply.

[@pudge9837]

Yeah and the child voice in the music at 4:04 when he just rounds the stairs. says get out. Listen to it several times and you can definitely hear a child.

[@graemewilliams1308]

I heard something like a very faint kids voice at 4.06 couldn't make out what was said.

[@DeanLogan]

That's just the music. Same noise a few seconds later. There is no sound from the video.

I'm dead serious this house is creepy even if renovated i wouldn't stay there.

I want to stay in this house if renovated.. beautiful house...

[@jedslather]

Looks like someone left in a hurry, whats the story behind the house?

[@daves.9479]

They looked more like bees. Honey somewhere near.

[@crabtrap]

the walls are probably more honeycomb then plaster by now!

[@vasileioskaralis4275]

based on "The family man" book, this house would still beinhabited until 1980, so I guess this is what a house in the woods looks like, after being abandoned for 40 years
