I bought a 1896 double pen dogtrot farm house and 168 acres nearer the Fl line and fixed it up. The prior owner had grown up on it as had his father and let it almost collapse. Not nearly the quality of the place you photographed but needed to be kept up. Has the original smoke house and 2 barns. All I can justify is keeping the roofs intact but I did redo the house to bare habitability. The prior owner who had moved up in the world financially, but lived very nearby had so many bad memories of a hard life farming there he just let it go. It was a genuine "progressive farmhouse" from the turn of the century but the house did not have electricity until 1960. Very poor sandy soil but does grow pines well enough. Never had a tractor living on it until I brought my SH to live there. The prior owner said he had very few fond memories except of his parents and got to where he did not want to put any money in it. He passed 2 years ago and called me when he learned he was dying to say how pleased he was that I rehabed the house. I doubt that it was a good financial investment but it gives me some real satisfaction. I'd do it again.
