Incredible Packed Abandoned Time Capsule Farm House Up North in The Mountains

This sad beautiful old farm house was built in the late 1800’s. The information I could find said it was constructed between 1870-1880. It would remain in the same family for over a century until the last owners passed away almost a decade ago. Then it went up for auction a year ago and was bought by developers. It still has some of the original antique furniture from when it was built. It’s been empty since the mid 2010’s, was able to find a newspaper from 2014. The final owners were an elderly couple, the man was a draftsman in the us army and the wife was a teacher. Unfortunately this houses days are numbered as a new housing development is being proposed in the spot and it will sadly most likely end up being torn down. Just being rezoned first. Glad to have documented this old home before it’s gone. One of the most incredible and beautiful old houses I’ve ever explored. Filled with original antiques. Just beautiful. Thanks for watching

I always find it heartbreaking that there are pictures, homemade quilts and family heirlooms just left frozen in time.

I do too! So full of good memories for someone that was there at one time that no one else cares about. That to me is sad that family members don’t take care of these awesome places!

Looks a lot like my Grandparents house, which is gone now. Amazing how the people left $1000s in antiques behind. Glad they weren't stolen or vandalized, but hope they're saved. Wondering what happened to the downstairs fireplaces. Great work, Kappy-thanks!

I have to respect all you guys who go through old abandoned houses and leave everything as is. In a house like this that will soon implode on itself, I would be tempted to take something that will be destroyed anyway. Kudos to you all!!!!

[@robinbuckeye6841]

I agree. I would be taking some of the good stuff, but trying to locate the owner first, if possible.

[@gregorymotta6628]

What an incredible old farm house. And filled to the brim with the remnants of so many generations that called this their home. This time capsule so brings back memories of my youth. I’m 66 now but this is what happens as time marches on. Grew up in an older cape style home with our family of 8. As life moved on 1 by 1 Grandma, Auntie, Dad , all passed away and kids moved on with our lives it just left our beloved Momma behind. Things held together for a while but then Mom could no longer take care of her needs and moved to an assisted living facility. Slowly but surely the ravages of New England winters caught up with our old homestead. My brothers and I did what we could to salvage what we felt was important. Methodically room by room we gathered up as many remnants as we could. Though still left behind were so many items that we accumulate in life. We were able to sell the home and thankfully it was restored and sold to a young family who will now bring their own stories and memories to it. Thanks Kappy for recording the history of this beautiful home before sadly it’s erased for all time. Your passion and professionalism shows in all the places you visit. And your knowledge of the architecture for such a young man is exemplary. Hopefully some day you can find, buy and restore an older home of your dreams. Continued success with your channel and I look forward to each and every video you record. Though in closing I’ll say this one really struck a vein for me. God Bless and stay safe in your travels.

[@melissaboggs5176]

Oh my gosh Kappy…this house is stunning! The furniture is absolutely beautiful! It’s so sad though to see someone’s treasures even family picture’s simply left behind to rot away. Such a beautiful place. Thanks so much Kappy! Your videos are second to none and the homes you bring us are the best. Stay safe Kappy! Can’t wait for the next one. 😊

[@peggyharris3301]

I did love the wedding picture on the floor in one of the bedrooms...looks just like the one of my Grandmother and Grandfather in late 19'teens/1920...

[@kimciesielski8279]

Absolutely!

[@okiecubsfan1961]

If i lived nearby i think i would try to find the developer and see if they would let you get all those antiques out. They could probably care less about them. That bedroom furniture was beautiful

[@lucybieller7604]

Hey Kappy! What an amazing house. I still find it hard to believe all the treasures left inside these places to deteriorate. If no family left, who should intervene? I bet it was a great place to live. Sad to see it empty! Thanks for the look! Stay safe. ✌️

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Sadly it was bought by developers at auction recently so it’s set for tear down now! So glad to have been able to document it before it’s all gone! Thank you for the kind words and watching!! :)

[@karinwetzel1773]

@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 Developers are going to profit if they bring in an Antique Appraiser. I saw a couple of Oil Lamps I’d want, along with many other finds. Just the furnace would make Habitat for Humanity happy. Sure hope they harvest interior contents before household destruction. 😢

[@msmini1585]

Absolutely agree. The furnishings are valuable. You can't even find pieces like these in the store these days. And if you did, we probably couldn't afford them.

[@michaelwhite2823]

Lesson learned. Keep the house clean so if I drop dead urban explorers don't find a dusty mess.

[@janetm5574]

What a beautiful home. It still just boggles my mind that they can leave so many beautiful things behind and memories. Thousands of dollars in antiques and glassware. I do get it though. I have a brother that wants to leave Moms “like she left it”. He just doesn’t get it. Let it rot and fall in. Thanks goodness there are more of us and we will take care of her house. It won’t fall in. Thanks for the peek and I wish I could buy this as is. It would not deteriorate any further and she would be beautiful again.

[@msmini1585]

I feel so bad that all of the beautiful furnishings were left behind. I truly hope that the developer doesn't destroy the house with the contents inside. They're so valuable. People would love to buy and cherish them. So sad.

[@CC-123abc]

A lot of times the family doesn't want the old furniture. To me it's so much better made and has character.

Having taken care of my mother in law for many many years at our farm, I feel the reality of the passage of time and the sweetness of lives lived together. Now we are here and it's our turn to grow old. This is not sad, really. Each life is so precious, each family unique. I love seeing and feeling the faith and deep love this family seemed to have.

[@ekassien]

Beautiful find Kappy! The furniture is mind-blowing; the hall mirrors, massive dry hutch, glass door curio cabinets & that beautiful bedroom set! All made out of real wood, with care. Oddly, it looks like someone just got out of bed that morning. But I can't get over the vintage photos & why some family member wouldn't claim them. They deserve a better home. And I agree with the others, there really is a "good vibe" inside. ❤

[@user-rn8tz8es2b]

I also like the fact you don't spin your camera fast while looking around. There's one gentleman on here who spins so fast with his I actually got like a motion sickness awesome job ❤

[@jens.9155]

Sheesh... I don't know what's more heartbreaking: theft/vandalism or abandoned/unclaimed... For me abandoned/unclaimed is more heart breaking. Maybe it's because I don't know the story of the person: were they only ones left alive in their family? Were they themselves abandoned and forgotten? Were they loved or known by anyone; family, friends, acquaintances, etc? Or did they have a full life, lived simply, and moments and memories were the most important to them? I know it's just stuff, it's not what life is about, but it'd be nice to see someone somewhere enjoy these items, put them use, etc. Seeing this one just broke my heart.😢 💔 Thank you for sharing.❤

[@lindaheald9629]

I cried, so very sad, a story, a life . I hope some one gathers up all of the items and saves them. So beautiful. Thanks Kappy, sometimes I wonder how you do it.

[@DeborahFlorian-gy6lw]

You have memorialized this grand old house even though the developers will raze it in the end. Thanks for the pauses you take, focusing on the details, there is so much to see and your unhurried manner lets us viewers do just that. And yes it is downright bizarre, the sheer amount of antiques. A mystery!

Too kind of you to say! Thank you very much! :)

[@SRay-or3nc]

It was great seeing an attic that actually had attic stuff in it instead of just dust! And the trunks had something in them!

[@ml1049]

Wow. All those Victorian antiques! Those oil lamps alone are very valuable. The wood stove in the attic is a Victorian Parlour stove, very fancy and ornate as most furniture and decorations of the Victorian era are . I also find it profoundly sad to see family photos left behind. You always wonder if the family just died out and there isn't anyone left to claim the property. That roof is going to go soon and all that stuff will be lost. Thanks for the video.

[@teresaholthaus6431]

I respect that you can explore these places and leave everything intact. I personally see a million little things that have so much value and would be so tempted! The kitchen/sun porch looks like it was a cheerful place at one time. The whole house is a testament to 3 centuries based on its belongings; the massive headboard to the flat screen TV, and every decade between those times. Pretty cool! Thx for this one!

[@debbiestewart6756]

Are you able to find owners and maybe get a dealer or preservationists to rescue the amazing furnishings in these old abandoned homes before they fall in? I sure hope so. Would hate to see them left to decay. The ones in this house are rare and priceless. So much marble too. Thank you

[@HarpazoReady2022]

Yep. Not only the blinking radio, but also the wall clock. The second hand was moving and it had a cord running from the clock down the wall- it’s plugged in at minute 9:13. And, background noise was loud in the kitchen and loudest standing in front of the refrigerator. I think the frig was running. It got quiet when he left the kitchen. The power is still on in that house. Amazing. So somebody is still paying the bill. It happens sometimes and I always wonder *who* would continue to pay it? Beautiful old house♥️

Where to start, the photos, the antiques, the furniture, the books? That bed is in pristine condition, and deserves to be saved! The books are amazing, it looks like both the husband and wife were 'hands on' people. The oil lamps, pitchers & basins, and glassware are amazing! I don't know how long you were in that house, but I would have spent hours in there! How sad that the house is going to slowly decay, and take everything along with it. That room with the jewelry boxes has been ransacked, it looks like they found what they were looking for. Thanks Kappy, see you next time.

Oh my gosh Kappy, an explorers dream explore. When you find a home like this Kappy, do you stay and look through things more? I couldn’t resist. Besides all the beautiful antique furniture, there were many pieces of antique glassware, photos and frames. This home made me feel sad, because nobody did do anything to even board up the windows. It did look like someone went through everything in that bedroom looking for the jewelry etc. The one hutch & curved curio cabinet were strangely empty compared to everything else. I wonder if those things were taken. Those 3 clocks were beautiful. I never saw one like the one in the middle. I’m definitely rewatching this to see what else I can see Kappy. Thanks.
