Forgotten farm house and sheds still sitting peacefully hidden in beautiful scenery

[@JohnShinn1960]

I wouldn't like to live in a place with concrete floors, cold and hard. On a hot summer night I sure wouldn't mind sleepin staight on one though. Thanks for the tour Paul, the fog and mist set a mood here. Stayin tuned! 👍🤠 🇺🇲

[@DebbieEvangelou]

Hi Paul at least these old homes put a roof over the birds and animals heads.The weather here in Tassie is like that nearly everyday freezing cold heaps of fog enjoyed your video Paul till next time.

[@emeraldjade6636]

Would of loved to see this homestead in its prime

[@cm-sx4kr]

The cacti you mentioned, looks like pitaya (dragonfruit) - very tasty.

[@joansmall9019]

This place is very old and very well built. The electricity was added much later than when the place was built. Thanks for the adventure.

When I was child, my family lived in an old farm house that belonged to my great grandparents in Tasmania & my grandparents lived down the road in a beautiful old Edwardian or Victorian farm house after they retired they moved to the city & my family & me moved to the mainland in 1966. A year later in 1967 both houses were destroyed in the 1967 Tasmanian bushfires. So I can relate to some of these beautiful old farm houses very sad they have been allowed to decay instead of being restored. Thank for sharing Paul. Really enjoy your videos & commentaries.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi PJ :-) Glad you are enjoying these videos and thanks for sharing your memories of your family, its a shame their old homes were destroyed by the fires. Cheers for watching :-)

[@loubowen6649]

Good job, I love the stone work. I even like the fog so you don't have to watch for snakes.

[@judycasemore2168]

Thankyou I did enjoy this forgotton farm house. Amazed no over grown foliage.😊

[@customscreenprinting]

Urbex indigo thanks for sharing this video with me i really enjoyed it my friend. i am from the U.S.A and i always will show you support and God Bless.

[@beachbum433]

Thanks, Paul! Another solidly built old gem. My limited experience with farming (used to help out on my father-in-law's property in very similar country-side in the Hindmarsh Tiers, south of Adelaide) tells me that last bit was an old shearing shed without the slatted floor for the sheep poo to drop through....Guess whose job it was to get under the shed to collect the sheep poo for the compost???🤣👍

[@Leo70780]

Back in the day when , living in that beautiful old stone home with all that land , that for me would be heaven , although life would be somewhat hard but definitely with it .

[@urbexindigo5164]

I think many agree with you Leo :-)

[@ashleytidd-w9i]

Old true Australia,enjoy watching your clips but it breaks my heart to know its doomed.Grew up in a similar setting,basic living,power in the 50's and a new FE holden in the shed.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers mate :-) I love trying to think how things were and you you guys explaining how they were in the comments! :-)

[@meganpaull6140]

Beautiful old gem in the countryside imagine waking up to that scenery everyday yes living peacefully and quiet to be away from the rat race definitely. Beautiful stone work. Thank you for the tour. ❤😊x🌟

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Megan :-) Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed this one too :-)

[@kenem1946]

Thanks, Paul. Great history not only with the home but also the out buildings. The lack of fittings in all the buildings tells me that once left there was no intention of returning. As always, very interesting. 👌

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed it Ken, yep they certainly are always interesting and with much history :-)

[@rogertemple7193]

This is yet another awesome abandoned farmhouse with sheds in a really nice rural area and the rainy foggy weather gives it an eerie kind of look but I really liked this old tin roofed farmhouse with several rooms inside it and this house is definitely another great find out there and glad to see Werner out with you again, until next week take care and thanks for another great video Thank You. 🇦🇺🤠🇦🇺

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed it again Roger, cheers for watching mate :-)

[@janacollins-maguire4942]

I've never seen one of your videos with fog! It's like that where I live on the coast. My grandmother had that same lino in her front room back in the '50's. It jogged my memory when I saw that. Nice old farm and beautiful property.. Thank you cheers Paul ☮️💜

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad it brought back some old memories Jana :-) Thanks for watching

[@ordrazz]

I would like to know who sang this version of your title song "finding the long way home" ? i absolutely love it, & i would like to find a copy in its entirety so i can play it... i know it's about 1929 the original, but i just can't find this version... please enlighten me... great videos as always, me & my wife love exploring with you, & remembering the past, & walking into the past eras in the homes, treading once again the stairs & footsteps of long ago, honouring history... ;-)

[@pagonabarbata1364]

I'm amazed at how you find these old places.

[@carlashepherd9362]

This old girl was beautiful in her day! Awesome video as usual mate! ❤️🤘👍

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers Carla :-)

[@krishender]

So interesting....very impressive - can only imagine how it may have looked in it's heyday !!

[@fionakinlyside]

I love the blue lino with roses i have seen it in several of your explores whatever happened to lino i would love to have lino like that if it was still available

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers Fiona, yes I like that lino too :-)

[@bronwyn6415]

My parents had the same lino only with a grey background in their bedroom when I was growing up, in fact we had lino throughout the house, I always wish we had carpet.

[@fionakinlyside]

Hi yes I grew up with lino and floorboards we thought only rich people had carpet we are in Qld but still we wanted carpet too​@@bronwyn6415

[@kathymorgan1489]

Beautifully presented Paul. Would've been a lovely home, and to wake up to the scenery in the mornings must've been glorious! I wish these old treasures could be saved.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Me too Kathy :-) Cheers for watching

[@annabelleb.8096]

Must have been beautiful at one time. The stone work...the wrap around porch...and I liked the linoleum pattern! So unusual!

[@michellegridley3563]

Beautiful scenery!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Thanks for watching Michelle 🙂

[@minimad8432]

Nice old farmhouse, plenty of stuff to look at here, from a time long since gone. What a great find. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, MM :)

[@cherylemaybury9967]

The main building could be salvaged and restored to be a beautiful home once again. She’s a beauty. 😊😊😊

[@wernersadventures8330]

Another cool one on the day mate and the fog was insane, definitely made a peaceful scene to this forgotten gem cheers😊

[@urbexindigo5164]

Definitely mate, the fog really set the scene for this one! :-)

[@patricialangford5380]

Hi Paul, this scenery yes very beautiful. I'm sure lots of hard work in a day. Such a blessing to have owned this place. Thanks for sharing look forward to see the next video.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Thanks for watching Patricia :-)

[@gaylewilliamson9183]

I'd love to live there in that house.Needs some fixing up but what a beauty it could be.Love the verandas .👍❤️🇺🇸

[@williammullikin2076]

great explore loved the foggy outdoor setting, it really set the mood

[@juliegraham7109]

Where i live was the first city have power before sydney. Tamworth, NSW was the first municipality in Australia to use electricity to light it's streets in 1888. (15 years before Sydney). .

[@vickimorrow1674]

The fog really added to the eeriness of this explore

[@urbexindigo5164]

It sure did Vicki :-)

[@crystalroseblue6760]

I love this kind of home..reminds me of my Grandparents home,plus I love this kind of weather.❤❤❤PS. That room probably had stamped sheeting on the celing and was stripped off.

[@diannestaehr8193]

I would lov to by that old farm house .we would do it up well .we lov very old houses .sa is my home town anyway .been away for over 30 years. Keep doing agreat job looking at old homes.

G,day Paul thanks for the tour ....mate,,....

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Ray, cheers mate, my pleasure! :-)

[@lexiequinus55]

Paul, maybe a Bullock Dray under the huge timbers, thank you. This is very early, the out buildings older than the house. Got to be 1800's, such an interesting one.

[@suebooth2431]

No apparent structural issues with the main house - it was obviously well built and with such beautiful stonework. Thanks for braving the weather to show us this old gem.

[@kutakina]

Grand homestead in its day, I reckon it would be around the early 1900s if not very late 1800s, notice the tuckpointing in the brickwork which would of add class to the character of the homestead, the continual roof line ending in bull nose veranda, obviously all concrete added later. The old piece of machinery was a Linkes central stripper, which stripped the head of the wheat from the plant, made in Moculta S.A, factory closed in 1933. I enjoy your videos thankyou.

[@anitapresnell6403]

Yay for my Sunday fix. Another awesome explore. Thanks Paul xx

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed it Anita :-)

Old party line phone , Number 22, The number I used in Qld , at my first bosses house was Mt Perry 44, Makes me feel old, 🤣🤣

Haha my Mother used to call those phones the same thing and she worked in a telephone exchange :-)

I truly wish I could find a place like this to call my own A little tidy up , fresh coat of paint and a love would breathe life back into it 😊

[@lawnerddownunder3461]

Yeh and $200k. You can't see the wood rot and termite damage, that let me tell you is absolutely there.

[@leehurley8358]

It's a very nice house.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers Lee :-)

[@catb-w5212]

I remember growing up in Sydney we rented houses that had light switches and pull strings

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Cat, my grandparents houses both had the pull down light switches too :-)

[@sandrahealey6385]

Thank you so much for taking us along 👋🙂

[@elizabethfrederick2434]

house is a plain Jane but the scenery was great

[@Romeo-kp8tc]

Shed probably, feed, grain storage, Could have been used for the milkers, I had to milk 7 milkers 2 times a week , had their calves , plus poddies on them so only milked when needing fresh milk or cream

[@kimfitzgeraldrockfam8973]

very big house actually nice find

[@marthamitchell9452]

I don’t think they kept horses in that one building. They don’t particularly like dark places like that. Although mine would load in my trailer there was light coming in from the open door and there was a strip of grillwork around the top for ventilation. They were very hesitant to step in a building like a garage even though they trusted us.

[@CaliAnimalLover]

Thanks Pauly! Very cool place. And considering it’s age it’s actually in pretty good shape! And I just love how it looks in the fog with the trees.

[@hilarymayo3908]

Lovely place. And the weather is like our summer weather over here in sunny England. 🤣🤣🤣

[@bronwyn6415]

Wow! no wonder my English friends say they came out here for the sun, But I envy all the green countryside you have.

[@PatriciaOmeara-sn7nb]

Great video lovely old gem.enjoyed. it..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@01baia]

The last remnants of the grape vine that probably once grew along the full length of that veranda!

[@ShettikkaWoods-jl8iq]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@holdenbrougham1056]

Just get 4 giant long ratchet straps with boards supporting worst areas at back and slowly tighten them according to each other and movements of stone wall, blast out all loose sand grout etc wash wall with cleaner , rinse it well and if possible have a concrete pump to blow it into all gaps , excess that passes through means a thorough job , then trowl it smooth , then wipe clean with a sponge, constantly rinse the sponge clean , until stones are clean and concrete is neatly gaped between stones, then hourly just wipe stones mainly , yet dampen concrete at same time , idea is to let concrete adjust slowly and not crack up , hope this info might help somebody achieve expert results themselves

[@urbexindigo5164]

Now I wish this could be done to a lot of these old homes! :-) Cheers for the insight on how it would be accomplished :-)

[@Bluerose888]

If the sheep can enter, how do they get trapped? This place was confusing to me, it seemed like the rooms weren't connected you went outside to get to another room.

[@kazbutler]

I was thinking the door might have swung open and closed in the wind and trapped sheep before it came off its hinges. Or maybe a sick sheep died in front of the door and blocked others in. Kitchens in these old homestead homes were often separate to the main house as they would have fires in the stoves all day, particularly if it was a working sheep station. They would probably have a copper, to heat large quantities of hot water for a laundry.

[@DebbieBuck-v1h]

Hi paul, omg what a beautiful old girl, love the scenery especially with the fog in the background. Loved to have bought my paint and esal. The stone work in the home is spectacular. Thanks for the tour paul. Cheers deb

[@urbexindigo5164]

Thanks for watching again Deb :-)

[@VeronicaHunter-c1i]

So sad these beautiful old homestead are left to the birds and farm animals.

[@viviekazanili1077]

Hi, Paul I luv & enjoy the Videos you put up. This home would've been so lovely back in the days, its sad how it is, i mostly luv the Country Farm Houses a lot, Luv how they were built, lived in them & what they had, theres a story & a history in them, sad to see these homes being abandoned. Thank you for showing these lovely videos. I have subscribed on your channel a while back, from time to time i miss seeing some of your videos, i didn't know u had put a video up yesterday? I sometimes don't get any notifications, which i used to hear it & would check my phone. Last nite when I got on youtube to see, i scrolled through noticed that you had put a video up of a Farm House surrounded by Fog with beautiful scenery, lucky i came across it & thought, when was this? Saw it was put up 17hrs ago. I checked my phone there was nothing, it has been doing that quite a lot. I had missed quite a few of your videos. When i press to Subscribe the Bell shows up. I don't know Why it takes me off? Have pressed to subscribe it shows the 🔔 & i pressed (All) I just wanted to bring it up.

[@mnj640]

That's certainly different countryside from the north

[@catb-w5212]

IT remind me of tasmania

[@Oururbanhomestead1966]

Such a shame, it looks like a beautiful home. If only I had the money to buy it and restore it to it's former glory

[@juliegraham7109]

That Looks like an very old house back in the 1800s because of the arch doorways . Some parts of australia didnot get power till the early 1900.

[@markkilley2683]

Shame these old places are left to decay.

[@chatnoir7923]

❤❤❤

[@johnmanshanden8271]

I love investigating old homes sad about the sheep I'm in Mildura don't think there are any old homes here from Nanna di in Australia

[@Whoever68]

I suspect that shed was used for storage of feed rather than horses. It’s too closed in to house horses. They wouldn’t cope being such an enclosed environment. There are no windows and the roof is too low. When horses spook, they raise their heads high. The roof being so low, they would cause themselves injury. I can say with certainty that it was not used for horses. The alternative to storing feed, it may have been used as a tack room for keeping saddles, bridles etc.

[@shez5964]

I wonder if an owner was a concreter by trade. Even before entering the house I noticed the ground under the bullnose verandah all solid concrete, often they're worn away timber boards. Once inside there was evidence of concrete work too.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Good question and observation Shez! :-)

[@gemini2261]

What a shame white ants are taking over, thanks for sharing 👍🏾🇦🇺

[@KinnyFitz]

Does anyone know where you can look to see if these properties are for sale?

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Kinny. you would have to track down the land owner and try get them to sub divide a small portion of the farm. I have had this conversation before with farmers and they say its not as easy as one would think as these old homes get absorbed in to larger farms

[@markwindley7932]

Have you ever though about having a metal detector with you when you go to these places You never know what you could find

[@urbexindigo5164]

I have thought about it, never got around to it :-)

This is in or near the Barossa Im guessing?
