1800s Farmhouse Abandoned For 50 Years

Deep in the heart of rural Georgia sits this grand, two-story farmhouse. Constructed in the mid to late 19th century, the house has undergone several renovations throughout its lifetime. From the outside, the house appears quite eerie and creepy, as it sits all by its lonesome in the middle of the woods. Furthermore, the home’s exterior looked as if it would be in awful shape, with rotted wooden siding and the shutters barely hanging, so most people would do whatever it took to avoid stepping foot in such a dilapidated place. However once inside the home, it was a complete contrast, as it was baffling to see the interior in such pristine shape.

Several calendars still hanging on the walls in the house suggest it was last occupied in the early 1980s. In addition to the calendars, there was many other things solidifying that it had last been lived in approximately 50 years ago. Some of those things included antique furniture; such as four post and iron frame beds, retro light fixtures, aged Pepsi and Coca-Cola cases, a vintage stove, old Lance cookie jars, and a set of a barrel table with chairs. Every room of this house was completely loaded with the family’s personal items and belongings.

Although most of the bedrooms, the kitchen, and the dining room were all still set up from the last family that lived here, the front parlor rooms were filled with more antique furniture, almost as if it was last used for storage. The front of the home still featured the original second-story screened-in porch that wrapped around the corner of the home. On the porch, we found an old swinging chair still hanging, along with several matching rocking chairs and other outdoor seating.

This abandoned house was an absolute gem, but finding any relevant history proved to be extremely difficult. With the house sitting for nearly 50 years, it will be interesting to see if anything ever happens with it. The owner’s family still lives on a property nearby and keeps a very close eye on their old family home.
