"Ye olde homestead", not long abandoned. I recall reading that early on, here in the east, early homesteads were arranged just like that. The only major fence was around the garden, to keep domestic, and other critters, out! Pigs were tagged by owners, wandered wild, and were harvested on an honor basis. Local statutes at the time levied fines on taking someone else's swine without letting them know!
Could that be an electric meter, and wires, on the end of the house?

It sure looks like a meter base and a conduit

Would be a great place to retire but probably not a good place to make a living.

And overhead line if you look close.

Beautiful place.
Wish we had that when we first got married nearly 47 years ago.
That could also be up in the mountains here in SC, NC, or GA.

Weekend property for somebody who lives in the city. I knew a fair number of people who had such property in the country and would talk about getting on the tractor on a Saturday. One guy got sad that as his kids grew up they did not want to ride with dad anymore to the farm to spend a weekend. Another guy actually retired to his farm after retiring from Kodak. He and the wife sold the home in the Rochester, NY suburbs and fixed up the home on the farm to live there year round. Was not too far from fishing at Loon Lake (south of Rochester) IIRC.
We don't know how things came to be for the farm in the picture. Like I said earlier some of those farms despite the terrain are situated on some good soil where it is semi-flat. Some of it is stoney but will grow upland potatoes such as down by Cohocton, NY or Whitesville, NY on the NY-PA line. The biggest thing is they give up some growing season versus here in what it called the lake plain region in NY (Auburn to Buffalo).
