The Countryboy is not about any one subject, such as abandoned houses or cars or travel. My interests consist of many things that I enjoy sharing with interested viewers. I started this channel many years ago featuring just a van conversion and promised updates, which I will post at some point. The assembly of those travel adventures are taking more time than I had realized. Also featured was one of my cars, but the music that I chose, while at the time was free use, has since been claimed by the author so I deleted the video and re-posted without music. This means that I won't be adding music to any of my videos and have removed the music used for the Van conversion video. I am still looking for "channel art", but haven't found anything appropriate. As a viewer of my channel you will find abandoned properties, house tours, car and car shows, genealogical information and travel adventures. Thanks for taking the time to watch, please leave a comment, click "like" or subscribe!
Abandoned Double wide Mobile Home with huge Pond
NOTICE: During the week of November 19 - 25, 2023 it was discovered that this dwelling has been demolished. Nothing remains except part of one of the sheds. The property is NOT listed for sale at this time! I do not give out locations - please don't ask. I couldn't resist exploring this property despite not really being interested in mobile homes. I first noticed this place about six years earlier - always overgrown and no activity. Obviously this was a large home, offering four bedrooms, two dining areas and a family room as well as living room. The former owner was remodeling, but apparently had to stop, possibly ran out of money. This was a great property though, the pond - or small lake - a definite plus. Please do not ask the location... like many other explorers, I do not give out that information. Also, derogatory comments and foul language will be deleted. (I tried to re-activate comments, but the process was too involved and confusing).
Hope you enjoyed watching!

Very nice car that I noticed one day. They sure made 'em pretty in their day! Odometer showed only 22,008 miles and the interior was original.
Abandoned Boarded up House with Stinking Horse Barn

Once occupied, started on fire by the husband with the wife inside and the husband unknowing, but she was saved. The second floor was gutted. Repaired and occupied again only to be foreclosed upon, then vacant, now abandoned. This property had an interesting history. They had horses, but now only the wild deer visit the stables and do their business where the horses did. It appeared to me that ...

Forlorn and Lonely House Nobody Visits Exterior Only

On a rural dirt road this lonely house sits waiting - for someone who used to like coming here for a few weeks every summer. According to the neighbors, the owners haven't been back to visit for more than seven years. They must have asked the sheriff department to keep an eye on the place, thus the signs. I won't break into a vacant or unoccupied property, especially when there is an obvious at...

Abandoned Collapsing Victorian House
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 8 lety
An old Victorian house, once proud and attractive, now a derelict mess of rotten timbers penetrated by the effects of endless winters and rainstorms. Ignored, neglected and forgotten by those who would have had an interest. Only her neighbors watch as she continues to fall apart and collapse. I was glad to finally have an opportunity to stop and take a look around. It made me sad to see this pl...

Passing this house on almost a daily basis, I was always curious about it's appearance of being abandoned, but when a For Sale sign was posted recently I decided to investigate. When I called I found out that it was listed as vacant land because the house was in a sad state of deterioration. While exploring I found no calendars or documentation that would have given a clue as to how long the ho...

When I tried to remove the music I was told that it could not be removed. Not wanting to infringe on someone else's rights I took down the video and have now replaced it with the same pictures and added a few. The original video had over 10,000 views and multipl...

January 2023... This property has been purchased from the bank that let it fall into disrepair, is currently repaired and occupied.
So....Where IS that house with the nice Pond ?
@@buggsmcgee9270 I'm sorry, but like many other explorers, I can't reveal locations. I've passed that place many times recently and can report that something is going on there - don't know what exactly. A storage building has been knocked down and an RV is occasionally parked behind the double-wide. If I hadn't received so many rude and obscene comments about that place I wouldn't have disabled comments, but that's the way things go sometimes. Thanks for your interest though.
I'm in ont
Would u do a rental purshise on the place or something were I an fix it and live in if like rent
Thanks for viewing the video! I'm sorry, but I would not be able to arrange rentals for these properties that I presented. I am adding a comment for the above property.
Hello this is not about the car! Just to let you know if you don't already know when you video tape the big Blue abandoned double-wide 6 yrs ago! There were a person in with you. Maybe a squatter or someone living there! They was there too! Glad they left you alone! But very scary stuff I was worry about you! Maybe because you were talking they knew where you were at? I saw them twice on your video! Please be safe when go to a abandoned houses or places! I couldn't leave a message on there because the comments were turn off! Thanks! 🙏💒
Hi Betty, and thanks for your concern. That fellow was my cousin "Bud", who does not like to be on the video. I tried to make sure that when I caught him accidentally, I moved the camera. There is/was a very good reason that I turned off comments for the double-wide... I was receiving threatening, obscene messages from viewers. I receive permission to visit all the locations and they had no right to threaten me.
@@cntryby8 Thanks for your reply! 🌈 Iam glad that was someone you knew! Yeah people have no right to threaten you just because you don't give the location! Glad you enjoy making videos! Be careful & safe! Have a good day! 💒⛪⛪⛪🌈
Blood stain wall
Really? On the wall in which room?
my neighbor has one, its been sitting since 2001 i think and its in a few pieces the interior is in amazing shape. his car is this same color
Too bad, that Farmall would've been in my garage in a heartbeat.
That kid kitchen brings back memories had the same one when I was young, just loved it 😊
Very beautifull this Buick Park Avenue Ultra 1985. I love this car
I recently picked up a low mileage 82 DeVille I wish I had the 5.7L but it's ok for it's age. You have a beauty there.
Are these properties for sale?
Nice Cadillac i just got one en is 1991 Cadillac Delegance gold package with 33k original miles and there gourgues congrats for sharing
That is a busy yard. Blows my mind in the mobile home video you have how many are there. I lost count at the beginning.
I had a Aunt that had a 4 door Cosmo, she bought it brand new in 1950, guess she had some issue within a couple years with the power windows, these early ones were hydraulics and used like brake fluid in the lines, so somewhere about 52-53 she got rid of it.
Cadillac Style.
Love this car
My dad used to have one.

u shoot great video, u need 2 explore more.
Thank you for your nice comment! When time allows I expect to explore some more.
It’s sad to see such a beautiful looking house being in such condition.
its only beautiful because of its age
UPDATE: During the weekend of May 4th, 2018, the house was torn down. It took more than four dumpsters to haul away the debris. The new owners have removed all the cars and are clearing the property.
Sir, this is a well done video. You spent a lot of time showing us everything you like about the car. Thank you for sharing a slice of heaven. 😎
Thanks for your nice comment - glad you enjoyed the video!
You're welcome. I felt like I was there with you behind the wheel. I hope to own one someday.
Update?
As I wrote... front porch fell into the yard. Won't be visiting it again as the family member who lived nearby has passed away. Long drive to get there.
Neat house, definitely has character!
Ga has a lot of plantation homes and just houses in general that are abandoned. Breaks my heart to see them go
The barn was beautiful
seems the house is in pretty good shape considering....wonder why the bank didn't rent it out?...would have been better than letting it fall to ruin..ty for the video
Banks don't rent, they just want to sell or the he_ _ with it.
Loved the video! Keeping exploring
Thank you so much for showing us this house and property.Great job by taking your time so we can take in everything in the rooms.crazy floor plan.so sad that the bank would just let it go.lot of folks would love to have it.like me !!
Wow, to bad. Did you ask if you could metal detect the property? Bet a lot of neat old artifacts there. And with the dumping owners did bet original owners had a bottle dump somewhere on that land.
I watched the modular home one was this is my second one ... my gosh wondering how much would these properties would go for... amazing land
Theres a shadow well it looks like 2 shadows (one in front of another) that moves at 20:55-56 just to the right of the stove, its not a person too big see if you can figure it out.
beautiful land.
did anyone Buy the old farmhouse
Yes, it sold - but the new owners only removed the three more modern cars and - oddly enough - removed all the windows in the house and have left it more exposed to the weather. I assume to allow it to rot further and fall apart.
cntryby8 thanks for your response.that is strange they did that
Old place, like the wood stove and the deer head... Nice video though! :)
Thanks for your nice comments. If only others had been more considerate when viewing my other video about the mobile home I wouldn't have had to remove comments.
Great explore! Love the country and the birds.... nice land/view. :)
too much work needed...lol
agree
so sad to see old homes just left empty.
I also agree with you Amy. :)
what state are you in ?
Awesome find. Great video :D
Looking clean! My white 86' Brougham D'eleg has ruined plastic fender fillers (rear plastic between lights and body) and the roof is starting to crack. Mine's still reliable cause it cranks every time and I need to say that these are really good daily drivers, considering I live in Chicago. I love your car!
They are sltill very large and powerful looking cars with plenty of luxury and class.
same shit with my 66. have to fix the electric choke.
great video! After you explored the surroundings I expected the house to be full of stuff, thinking it was a hoarder's house. But it wasn't too bad. Love your camerawork. Great quality! Subscribed!
Thanks for your very nice comments and for subscribing! Sadly the new owners of the property have removed all the windows, exposing the inside of the house to the weather... this is already taking it's toll. It appears that they have also removed most of the furniture.
some one could just move in an squat. take care of the place run electric. then file at court.
It's morally reprehensible the way these banks get ahold of these properties and then let them sit for years until they've deteriorated past the point of repair.
It is and so many people homeless. I even read they're 6 houses per homeless person in America. Imagine the immorality and how easy it could be to distribute them among those in need? Particularly am looking for one house, or a piece of land in Miami Florida, I still can't find one cheap where to place a shed and live in there in peace.
Too bad someone couldn't save the Hullitzer piano!
I was also thinking the same. :)
quick question...do you ask to go on properties or just take your chances? just curious.
Each situation has different circumstances... sometimes a neighbor, or a realtor - or the owner, if available. I generally always look for a representative of some kind and always get permission.
hey man! i saw a prisitine condition 1988 park avenue. i thought masybe i should jump on it. but being my first car...im kinda concerned as its 30 years old this year. since u were kind of int he same posiiton, would u recomend i go for it? assuming i get a good deal on it haha
House rotting away looks like it can be save and the barns to nice looking barn for horses
awesome video .
Thank you, Lisa
