By far the best place I ever lived in my 68 years was on a 60 Acre Farm , in Northern Virginia Horse Country. It was a friend's place and I lived in their home for a while. The main house was maybe 150 years old --- and there's nothing like waking up to all the animals and the open space and rustic buildings. So I feel ya and good luck!
Having lived with a dug well like you have for many years, I'd recommend getting the water tested; the water might look clean & OK, but it might have bacteria that can't be seen or tasted. And can't wait for upcoming videos
Hello, Leila! Thank you so much for the tour of your farm. Yes, there’s work to be done, but you’ve fallen on a Diamond in the rough….. and you are the right person to transform it into a productive operating farm for you! Bravo! 👌😎
Outhouse Tip: keep a 5 gallon bucket in the outhouse and fill it with Lime. In the bucket keep a cup and throw about 5 or 6 ounces of lime down the hole each time you poop. The lime will kill the smell and also disolve the poop so your outhouse doesn't fill up. Still have the outhouse at the camp we built in 1973 and it's fine for use to this day.
Great video and I like the direction of the channel with the upcoming restoration of the farm house . It will be great to see White Witch's creative side applied to the repairs!Lots of projects!
Hi Leila 👋🏽 enjoyed this!
You’re going to have to change your name to White Witch on a Farm lol
Best of luck!
I’m sure you’re going to make that farm and all the structures, look beautiful!
Looking forward to seeing the transformation!
I'm new to the channel. You had me at "Making old shit look like a million dollars. I love it!". I lived in a old farm without plumbing for 13 years. And loved the simplicity.
I love your new home 🤍🏠 it’s perfect with the river … and the sounds of running water!
After seeing what you can do on a smaller scale with a van conversion, I'm feeling pretty positive that you'll turn this old homestead into a home again, it still amazes me how similar our worlds are and yet so far apart...
Love the old farmhouse and out buildings. I wish I had a passport and could visit. I'm an Australian pagan and love old farms like that. I want to buy an old farm like yours and become self sufficient. And I would host like minded people so they can have simple holidays on a pagan farm. Being in touch with nature on that level would be absolutely awesome. Blessed be.
Aloha, Zdrastriva,from Big Island Hawaii! Expatriated from the Mainland over dozen years ago,where it was cold and burned 🔥 lots of wood and Domu caught fire a couple times..Now I live off grid on the Big Island in the jungle,actually in a van right now after my last house was eaten by Lava!!! More stories later ,at least we aren't being exterminated.Used to Folk dance in Ukraine and Russia 2,Great to know other Shaman,esses r out there 😉Surviva..Thriving w Peace and Love ,Dasvedania White Winter Woman OX
Love what you're doing. Small thing, if the corrugated roof is asbestos, replace it with proper protecting yourself. I did my 160yr old rural house, also some of it. The rest, just a giant, never ending(or dull) puzzle. You'll love it, sometimes a pain; but you are free!!!
Wow Leila! This is fantastic!
I realize I'm coming to this more than a month after the fact, so I don't know how much exploration you have done there. One of the first things that I would do when I buy a property like this is to MAP it. I don't know if G--gle Maps works there, but if it does, use it. Make a screen-cap of your property. Or use a Real Estate web-site to get a map with the property lines on it.
For me, that's the first thing to do.
If you have a drone, I would do something even better...
First, I would walk around the property boundaries and I would physically mark the property-lines. Even if I don't put in a fence or something like that (eventually I will), at least start with some sticks or poles in the ground. Start with markers in all of the corners, with a ribbon or a small flag to mark the corners. Or perhaps corner-stones? Next, walk the property-line and put more markers in the ground to mark the lines. Tie a wide bright-colored ribbon such as construction Warning tape (just like police crime scene tape... but not for police) and attach that to all of the markers, going all along the property lines... so that all of the property lines are marked and drawn with that ribbon/tape.
Once everything is marked and outlined, now I can go around and just LOOK at everything from the outside. Go to each corner and look across to all the other corners and boundaries and really look at the total area, so that gives you a much better perspective on all that Land. This way I feel like I will gain a true FEEL for the totality of that Land.
Here's where a drone comes in handy.
Once I have my property lines marked, I can then fly my drone up just high enough to take a good picture of the whole property and get good views off those ribbons and corner-stones and lines. This imagery can be used to map everything on the land and plan where to put gardens and decide what to put, and where.
That Map of the Land is a great Planning tool.
ALL of those buildings look to me like an excellent opportunity to Start Over. I realize you can't afford to just tear it all down and start building a new farm house. But, if you can use one of the out-buildings as temporary shelter, starting over is what I would do there. First of all, I would want to build a house with a cellar. Do you know how high the water table is there?
BTW... I saw what looks like it might be some kind of hatch in the floor in your living space. You might want to check that out, to see if there is access to a space under that floor... and if so, is it a good cellar space or is it just a small space under the floor. You might want to look around the entire house for a cellar or crawl-space access door, to see what's under that house. ALSO, you may want to look thru the house to see if there is an indoors opening to the attic space. It might be full of interesting things. Or maybe just spiders and dead rodents. Who knows?
LOOK carefully for the possibilities and for the opportunities. You might be surprised what you'll find there.
Look for a root-cellar. There may be one somewhere near the house.
YOU were talking about mysterious wires. I see what looks like a bunch of wires going in the well. THAT could be wires for a well pump. You probbly want to pull those wires out of the well and see if there's a electric pump in there! This is for-sure one reason to Start Over. Building a house with plumbing!
I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this place. I have a feeling that, even with all the hard work, this is going to be a whole lot of FUN.
Wonderful comment and tips, thanks so much for your time and advice. Have a great week buddy 🥰
Internal access from the house to the attic would be a good idea. I am sure once you have got ridden of all the last owner stuff that you don't want or cannot re-purpose , plus the piles of rubbish in the out buildings and against the house you will have a much better idea on how you want to use the areas. Well done and good luck..
Thats a great farm house 🏠I love the land and the house. Funny thing I'm a carpentry and tradesman. Your doing a great job . Hope your having a great day . 😊💗🌻
Liela, I have friends who I go and visit up in the state of Vermont here across the pond in the states. Bill and Sue they did the same thing. They bought an old commercial tobacco farm. What they did is turn it into a year nudist trailer park. It is very lovely with a lot of privacy. Their are quite a few residents that are full time artists ans musicians that live their. It has all kinds of walking trails and a large pond. I think was an old irrigation pond. Their are all kinds of nature trails. It just the perfect place to me natural and free. I feel you are off to a great start. I am very happy for you. It will take you some time to develop your naturalist community. I am sure with other naturalists friends you can all work together to create a very beautiful place for all to enjoy. If it is big enough property maybe you could have an area reserved for camping.
Hiya, When I was younger we moved into at least three houses like this no running water but had a spring well right out side of the house , use to warm the water up on the wood stoves to take a bath , The last house we lived in like that had the water in the house the well was under the house and had a pitcher pump in the kitchen that was great no more going out to get the water it did had electricity but one outlet per room and no lights just kerosene lights or candles , in the winter we would get up to fire up the wood stoves and would have snow on the floors till it warmed up the house had no insulation so the snow would just blow in under the doors and cracks but we lived in that house for 5 yrs and fixed it up better but owner passed and the family sold it but it was a nice pre civil war house it had hidden rooms in the walls , But its all gone now just an empty field , But I like what your doing here one of my other channels told me too check you out so I SUBBED hope thats ok and anytime you need help trying to fix something just let me know be safe and take care
I'm surprised they never ran a water line from that well to the house. Even if it just had a hand pump in the kitchen for water would be nice.
For a septic tank here in the U.S.A. a couple of decades ago it was still common just to bury an old fuel oil barrel. When they put in natural gas lines everybody had a fuel oil barrel they didn't need anymore so rather than scrap them, many ended up as a septic tank.
we be doing this offgrid here for ovr 30yr now...even built an amphitheatre...up in sierra nevada mtns n.cali is where we hail from...we wish u there good will. take care n control of your destiny there! for the law of the claw!
you can easily fit a rain gutter that collects water and stores it inside in a big container. Rainwater harvesting system
Wow I live in central illinois on a old farm stead its said to say but I tore down a old 2 story farm house that was much better shape then White Witch's house she Bought I wish her the best oh I did restore the old summer kitchen from 1850 and that's what I live in
You truly have bitten off a big chunk of real estate , But it's your new home and it will look like a million dollars when it all comes together . I do look forward to following your progress over the weeks , be safe & I do hope you have an offsider ..aussie bob.
Great farm , but I'd suggest salvage as much materials as possible.
Then design a new dwelling and just build a new simple and smaller home. Believe me , you'll be much happier with it in the end and not constantly trying to patch a patch.
Then you can concentrate on growing things , livestock and have a dependable living space.
Either way , good luck 🤞
Leila, I've done remodeling many years I would love to get my hands on the place, but I live half a world away. Yes you have admires all over the world. OMG a great place to run around au-la-natural. Can't wait for more. Love 💘 from Texas.
I like this place....especially the barn. It's built really well! Nice old wood floors in the house too. But more than anything, I like seeing someone I like, HAPPY! Makes me smile!😌😎🚜❤
...get cozy..one room at a time..you will make it a full home..before winter comes..that is how I would go about it. Looking forward to watching your adventure grow. smiles for miles
Holly s..t.that is a lot of work. Being a builder all my life that would be a fun project. I could hook that up fast.i love those kind of projects.i would make sure the walls are stable. Then replace the roof .And then it is show time.replace the electric. Run a water line from the well.then make sure all the wood burners are replaced with working ones.i wish I knew her.i love those projects.dam that would be fun.BUT .I hope it is not haunted. I have been down that road. 😆 but she is called a witch.so she should be ok.lol.
That's exactly on my priority list Robert, so yep i guess the fun has begun 🤪
I think it's a great idea. You are young and full of energy, If you add friends willing to help anything is possible. Years ago some friends in New Orleans bought a house at auction with the condition that it could not be inspected. It was an old crack house. They had to take out around the first meter of the dirt in the back yard because it was full of used syringes. To top it off this was in a very crowded neighborhood so the couldn't get heavy equipment in. It was all one wheelbarrow at a time through the house. Now it looks beautiful.
In Australia, we would call this a "renovators delight" 🤣
I'm so happy for you. I love the farm. Can't wait to see what you do with your new home. You're such amazing woman and very beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much Leo xx
@@WHITEWITCHINAVAN you're very welcome Leila xx
@@WHITEWITCHINAVAN Leila wish I could help you on your farm.
Again congratulations. Looks like a great way to fill your time!
This is too cool! I also bought an old farm but thankfully a new small cabin was newly built, but I love what you’ve found!! yes endless projects- I KNOW! But like you, a place for the dogs to run, to be in nature…to get to growing, the creek (!!!) CONGRATS! CONGRATS! 🍾 i am so excited for you! I am going to come check in on you and am just so excited for you!!! 🤍
Beauty is not lacking! With a beauty like you, anyone loses track of where they are and they are all beautiful!!!❤️❤️❤️
This should be fun. I look forward to following your story as you fix up your farm.
Thanks Paul, see you in my next video then 🤪👌
Cool, I am happy for you. Keep up updated, I'm sure you will looking forward to them. From Dallas Texas
Can’t think of any were better to buy and live and make your self happy living of the land sounds like the best time of your life and more to come xx
You have certainly got plenty of work to do. Good luck.
i like the architecture and privacy!
Definitely have your work cut out for you and if you decide to tare down the small storage shed. You should be able to reuse most of the materials to fix the main barn and other projects.
You said it's an old farm but wow ! You ain't kidding. Alot of work needs done !
One day at a time and you'll get that place looking great !
Beautiful house for a beautiful lady 🥰
Wow thank you Captain. Watch this space xx
I watch all your videos. Sometimes twice lol
Your an amazing woman
There's an old saying, "Buy land, they aren't making any more of it". Wonderful place you have. Here in the USA from the mid 1960s to 1980s I grew up in an old farmhouse originally built in 1890. No electricity when built, electrified in the 1930s, my dad upgraded the wiring in the 1960s. In the kitchen there was a flour grinder built into the cabinets. Lots of interesting things like that in old houses, like you said all the magic happens in the kitchen. #1 priority is to keep a good roof on the house. No water stains on ceilings so it looks good from the video. Looking forward to seeing all of your progress.
Well you've certainly got a major project there Leila which will keep you busy for many years. I'm glad to hear you have a friend who is going to help you with it. Yes, the electrical wiring needs major repair/updating. You should be able to get a proper water supply into your house from the well outside by using an electric pump and plumbing. Good that you are starting the project now, so you can get it watertight and warm for next winter. Best of luck with it all. Dave x
LOL it looks pretty rank and Wallah people used to say that all the time when I was a kid heard that saying in 40 years do it. Yeah the roof is number one job you need to do. Conditional I would be the happiest man on Earth if I had a place like that. It is a beautiful place
Good for you! This will open a whole new chapter in your life.....wishing you prosperity and happiness! Be Free!!! Stay Free!!!
Congratulations Leila!!
Your Farm is wonderful!
Looking forward to seeing your projects.
Love and peace 🌙🐉
You have a good eye for details and when you get done with your farm house it be one beautiful homestead. Your dogs will so happy
Good luck on your little piece of earth
Can't wait to see process on the work
Have a great day 👍
💕❤️🍄🦋🌻✌️
Nice purchase. A few hours work each day for awhile and you will have it up to speed......this is how we will need to live in America very soon....
Save the barn, save the wood stove from the house and then call the fire dept. and do a controlled burn of the house, and build a new small house. That way you would save money.
Can i give you some advice ask a buildings surveyor and civil engineer to give you a structural survey.
You have a lot of work to do on this house. What i can see is possible ground movement large gaps in dor fromes probable walls have moved.
My gradmother had outside privvy toilet in the country very cold in the winter but do able.
Rebuld is a big project but should be possible in time. Well done
You have quite a project on your hands. It will be fun to see how you whip it into shape.
Fabulous and awesome farm for you - Perfek!! ... Gidday smart and beutiful Leila Wurzel (Somerset, Englishman) here again frm NZ. Your videos keep popping up during my other searches so not seeing them in chronological order, but that's ok. Some I click to 'watch later.' Surprise to me: Did you not have a buildings inspection done b4 purchase? Nor a 'land title' search? Different way to do things in Latvia I guess. Anyway you are going to be happily busy satisfying all your alter-egos ... Yes I watched that one. It teaching me a lot about myself already. Take care and stay safe Oh Beautiful Mighty Wonder Woman 😄🤙😎🥰X
What a great buy, this will be a palace some day.
Wow Leila,...at first glance it looks like you're taking on a mammoth task there and i know a lot of people would be put off by that thought but,....knowing you, you'll get stuck in and work your butt off getting the place how you want it and making a real good go of it. You certainly ain't no slouch when it comes to putting in a bit of hard work. All i say is,....please take good care when you do things and work in a safe way the best you can but i think you've got your head screwed on well enough to know that anyway. Good luck girl and much love to you, xo Snoopy, xo.
Hi Leila. Congrats for your this property. Even if you have to have a lot of works to do, you found a place for leaving free among the nature. But I would like hiver a friendly advice: change the title for videos because right now your a white witch in a farm! Lol! Good work! Bon courage.
Having a homested deep on the countryside and doing physical labour in the nature in fresh air must be some of the cornerstones of physical and mental health. And a good diet and enough sleep. Living self reliant presents mostly two problems: Electricty and fuel. You will need a small tractor.
I love listening to you tell the story. I can paint picture or sketch and really not watch. You tell a good description of the place.
Thank you I will subscribe
Thanks so much thank you 🙏
It’s a great house and a good amount of land. It just needs a bit of love but it will be beautiful in the future. Don’t throw anything away until you have given each item a good amount of thought. Lots of good stuff there that will be useful or you can sell or swap for stuff you do need. Good luck, I’m super jealous
Congratulations on your purchase. Just remember to have fun.
I am indeed very happy for you! Now you have many projects for all of that energy that you have! I am looking forward to the creative process of getting the place in order ! Bless you and stay safe and enjoy your new home 🏡🙏❤! From Oklahoma City,United States!
Have fun restoring your farm. Best of luck yo you.
they make ceramic water filters that last a very long time and are one of the best kinds of filters to use.
Just remember sunscreen for all the gardening. You don't want to get burned or have tan lines😁
It would be easy to straighten the little building. Totally savable.
I am glad you bought a farm. You can fix it up and it will look nice. At least you can say you are a land owner. I can't wait to see what it will look like in a years time. I am happy for you and Snoppy.
Nice farm house and buildings thanks for sharing your story and looking forward to following the progress bye and God bless
You did AWESOME on that purchase! This is what you need for your life exactly. OMG, those wires😱. Hey, next to the bottle of water on the floor, the two floor boards look like you can pull them up, (secret) space maybe, see if they come up easy, maybe a surprise treasure in there. l wish l could be there to help you, this is exactly what l do! always, farmer john
Hey my friend, that is apparently home cellar to keep the veg and pickles, but i m not gonna use it, i want to build a big one outside, perhaps next year as this summer i ll be busy enough 😘
Wow you definitely will be kept busy! So happy for you!
You are a funny girl. Pure entertainment. Congrats on the farmhouse and good luck ! "there is always something to do on the farm"... No truer words have ever been spoken.
I hope you had a good price. You have the skills to repair that.
the place is beautiful..after seeing how you carry your self i know you will make it look beautiful...good for you👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹i hope i get onvited once the place is up and running or can i come over and help😀
Lots of potential. I think it's great you are going to make this a home again. Just take it one step at a time and not try to do to much at once. Maybe kitchen, bedroom and bath first, or whatever your priorities are first.
It will be really nice one day and a place you can call " MY HOME ".
I am sure you are smart and already know these things, but sometimes it's nice to be given encouragement.
Wishing you and yours well from the South East USA. 🇺🇸 Good Luck.
.
Congratulations! Looks like work but so what WORK is good!
Building is old but it’s nice place.You can change it as you like so it’s good 👍.Good luck :)
Very excited for you and looking forward to seeing what your magickal touch does to the place! 🌹
The place is perfect for being self-sufficient growing a Garden have a couple animals.
That's cool . congratulations on new farm .some new paint ,wood ECT . it will be great
It's a lot of work, but if anyone can do it, it's you. and when you are done, it will be the best feeling in the world when you look back on what you have achieved.
Congratulations on the farm. I cheer for you😁
With massive 🌈GRATITUDE💚 'thank you' for your work!
🕊️
🇺🇸 🌎 *"GOD BLESS FREEDOM'S RING"* 👍🙏
🕊️
Can't wait to see the cool things you will find.
What a gorgeous property. You renting out the bunk house 🤪 haha
I have missed you! Had to get a new phone, new number. I'm proud of you. I know you will make this into an amazing place for you and your animal friends. Thanks for the tour. I'm excited to see what you do with the place! 😊
It will be interesting to see what you can do to fix the place up so I subscribed, Good Luck with your project.😘
Thank you Lela my witch. Good luck on the 'new' farm. It won't be long until you find a farm hand to help you. Stay safe
This has such potential! I love it! So old world but you can do solar and be independent of the local power grid I'f you want. One of your viewers said it right. One room at time and you will have a beautiful farm. Best of luck.!!
Wow, nice place. You'll be very busy with projects.
Great tour of your new farm house !!
Yes endless projects a farm is !!
You will do well , one project at a time !!
I think it’s great !
Such a cool video and you’re so brave for doing this! Will you keep us updated with projects!?
Congratulations that is really awesome!!! Beautiful place great score!!!
How lovely Witchy, wish you many blessings for your future.
🙏
At least there was a bit of toilet paper in the " one- holer". I could come help (;-D
Congratulations on your purchase. It will keep you busy for a while. But I love it 🥰
Hi Sweetheart! Looks like you won't be traveling too far in the next year! Lelia, repair the roofs first thing, then weather proof. A leaky roof causes the most damage. Even if it's just a cheap tarp tacked down with nailing strips. You want be sorry. The rubbish and waste piles can be sorted, organic and soil turned into compost. If any, erosion will take care of rubbish. I'm sure you will be using solar power for lighting. but wind might be better for pumping water. Keep us up to date on your progress. Stay safe, you have a lot of admirers out here who really do love you. Thanks for the tour! Love, John
😊💘💞💘💞💘💞💘💞❤🤍
Wow it's a beautiful space but it will be a TON of work. But whenever your feeling overwhelmed just remember your in a position that any work you do to the property is potentially great content that you can turn into money so it should motivate you to keep pushing forward knowing everything you do here is creating great income opportunities
off grid is an awesome life... i wish you well on yer new adventure
Congratulations on your purchase of the farm
OH I LOVE THIS!! THIS WILL BE SUCH A COOL ADVENTURE FOR YOU,REMODELING IT AND FIXING IT UP! VERY HAPPY FOR YOU LOVE! WISH I COULD HELP YOU WITH IT.
Awesome. Gonna need a cat or two
Just wanted to say, Snoopy is going to love this place too!
John 😊💘💞❤🤍
Congratulations 🎉 on your new property!! Wish I lived in Latvia 🇱🇻 to help ya rebuild it! 😄
All the best with your home and many projects ….
I see many great projects ahead for you to keep busy. I'm looking forward to watching your progress. Stay safe and enjoy!
