In a small, rural town in Wilkinson County, Georgia, this two-story farmhouse stands proudly in the middle of nature. There are six bedrooms, three bathrooms, and seven fireplaces in the home, which is approximately 5,000 square feet in size. Constructed in the mid-to-late 19th century, the house has undergone several renovations throughout its lifetime but has not lost its original charm. The large double front doors are highlighted by a beautiful glass transom. Ornate woodwork can be found throughout the home. Several calendars still hanging in the house suggest it was last occupied in the early 1980s. The original owners’ family lives nearby and keeps a close eye on their old homestead. In 2023, the land around the home was cleared and the property was listed for sale. The property sold for $85,000 in February 2024.

I knew from the second I saw the first pic, that I was going to love this house and I was right. What I don’t get is why the original owner(s) opted to let the house sit fully furnished for 35+ years empty and uncared for. It is such a beautiful house, that they could have sold instead of letting it sit abandoned for so many years, especially since they still live on the property nearby. I would buy it in a heartbeat with everything in it. It is such a waste to let this lovely house go to ruin like that.

I agree with you it’s such a magnificent home and has such beautiful things left in there. I don’t understand why people wouldn’t want to live there or at least do something with the home. Abs leave all the stuff in there.

Considering it hasn’t been lived in for nearly 40 years, it looks pretty solid

So, what I’m getting from this is the original owners have passed and the remaining family decided to do nothing with the home but just let it sit for 35+ years and keep a close watch on it. It’s a shame and a waste.
