lone in the countryside sits this Stunning abandoned farmstead. Built sometime in the 1890s, it Features a fieldstone foundation, original red brick, interior timber frame construction, original openings, and sliding rail doors. The farm sits on 101 acres of property with three outbuildings, a Barn built in 1910, a carport, and a guest house built in the 1980s.
A 28 billion dollar plan was announced by the government to create new roadways and highways over the next ten years in Ontario. $16,000,000 of this budget will be used to create a new bypass road in this area. In the last few years, the government has expropriated many homes and businesses in the area to make way for this highway. Seeing this trend and sitting right in the pathway of the new bypass, the last owners of the farmstead sold the property in 2024 for $10,000,000.
Concerned by the possible loss of heritage value, The towns heritage committee assessed the property to see if it met heritage protection criteria. The committee found the farmhouse is uninhabitable due to significant structural issues, including water infiltration, roof leaks and a rubble stone foundation that would need to be completely reconstructed with a new concrete foundation. The town’s heritage committee recommended approving the demolition of the home while also preserving components of the building to be used in a different project.
Today, the home sits empty, slowly falling into disrepair, waiting for the government to demolish it and hundreds of acres of farmland to start their project.

I agree with you Noah. I don't think either of these home should be knocked down. When my husband and i were first married, we lived in a tiny apartment with one tiny bedroom and it wasn't nearly as nice as either of these homes.
It was probably a dairy barn. Would love to have that place.
It's like the Chimneys weren't ever cleaned for that Soot to be Sooo Heavy Everywhere 😮
Beauty Noah. Wish it could be saved. Love it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
In the 90s my 4 kids and I rented an old farmhouse built in the 1880s. The city tried to save it but the state wanted it torn down for a highway. It had an old barn and peach orchard. As a single mom of 4 kids ages 4 to 17 I paid less attention to the beautiful history of the place. We lived there for 4 years and did make great memories.
More silly memories of this house: The kitchen had UGLY WALLPAPER so this mama painted the walls, cabinets AND the ceiling peach. Kids called it pink. I even put up green ivy kitchen curtains to bring out the peach. Didn't work lol . At Christmas we put up the dancing Christmas lights around the ceiling. Kids called it the Disco kitchen. Great memories!
How sad it’s abandoned & going to be demolished! Cool video bro! ❤️👍🤘
Just shows what money can do 😔
This just makes my heart hurt! Wish I could have it! Would be worth putting money in it!❤😢
ruin farm land to build a highway overpass - it's doug ford's ontario allright!
grow food eles where..and make frood prices go up
I hope all of the trim is removed, doors salvaged. They dont make fixtures like those anymore either.
Very cool place. It stinks to know it’s going to be flattened 😢
Yet another great explore to enjoy, I've noticed that a lot of the older houses you do have the old style tall television antenna masts from back in the day of broadcast analog TV. From the age of the house and the floor and baseboard registers I would venture that the house had a gravity warm air furnace in the basement originally and it may have been coal fired, the house would have had gas lighting fed from a acetylene generator in the basement and the house was later upgraded to electric lighting and oil fired forced air heat.
The key on the freezer was a safety feature found on a lot of really old chest freezers, the latch was mechanical and it was possible for someone to get trapped inside the freezer if the lid shut, so they would put locks on them to keep kids out of the freezer when an adult wasn't around.
It's a tragedy that such a beautiful old house is going to be destroyed so that someone can save five minutes on their commute.
Can't agree with you enough. This deserved to be saved.
Looks like a dairy barn. The sink in the room where you walked in was for washing the milking equipment.
That home that you thought may have been a migrant home, was beautiful.
Beautiful house, a shame it's going to be demolished
Looks like an amazing property. Cannot wait for the tour Noah!! 😊😊😊
Noah, we saved a house in Salem county, NJ like that. It had started as a trading post in the 1600's. Got out of the hands of the original family. The State bought it and probably would have knocked it down. We got the word out on social media, the State ended up selling it to someone who loves it.
I was saying, open the freezer, open the freezer. I’ve watched way to many horror movies. The bodies are always in the freezer😱😅
It definitely seems like in a lot of cases, the preservation boards are on the wrong side of the table when it comes to preserving historical buildings.
From the video, this place didn't look that bad.
The basement, that's just a typical dirt floor old house basement, Something that needs to be remembered when this house was built, the basement was never supposed to be used as living space.
The second house here in Ontario, those are called Garden Suites.
It is a shame that a beautiful 1800s farm house that has to be demolish just because of construction work when that home could had been renovated clean the walls with sugar soap repainted and will be livable again but a great video
Guest house is pretty neat
Thank you again for the always interesting vid Noah. For those who would like a bit of retrospect in as far as losing what one was, I suggest a CZcams clip called "Tar and cement" from 1969 with the Verdelle Smith lyrics. A song with a beautiful tune which I have not forgot in 55 years.
Suits this vid to a tee.
Great Explore/Thanks, Noah!!!
So sad there taking old farm home down pretty place and home
that ..that house can b saved still 😭😢😢
Tragic it's being lost for a useless unnecessary hiway
LOVE IT! Great video!
Beautiful house. That doorbell is amazing. The doll was pretty awesome too lol
The Brooks sang by the front door in the middle of the porch is the original porch pillar base. The porch has been widened and they just left that pillar base there kind of neat.
Breaks my heart that it will be demolished. 😪
Gotta love Doug Ford’s Ontario destroying all these amazing homes and land
It looks like the furnace ba ked up or they didn't open a flue.
Hello Noah, nice video and thanks for sharing!
I enjoy watching these amazing homes. The wood doors and throughout is so beautiful. Appreciate you sharing. Blessings 🙏🏾
With all that land why do they need to go right where the house's are? It seems like there's no regard for the past anymore. We were taught to cherish our history and that's not popular anymore. Sad, but thanks for letting us see it before it's gone.
It's good that you get in there and film these houses before they take them down. Documenting history.
I agree with you about they just want to demolish for their pleasure instead of restoring and not repurpose anything and not caring of historical on year of building, that some could and should be on the registered of historical homes.
Beautiful, it's ashame though i love ur videos.. your laugh is too funny..fabulous job
The black on everything probably came from a coal furnace. Every now and then they would belch and smoke filled the the house. My parents house did that when I was growing up. Made it really hard to breathe too.
Cute little house ❤
26:56 She's not creepy, she's the lovely Miss Dolly Topheavy Hair, waiting for her mate to return from doing what he does best,
milkin cows.
Thanks for the tour Noah!
👍🤪
Hi Noah!❤
I think it’s called a cupola.
I think you are correct!
You are such a conservation geek. I love it!
The brick stack on the porch looks to be plated off, and was once a water pump on there.
Yes Noah love seeing the barn because it covers the history of the use of the place, this is probably a milking parlour for cows. High possibility the farmer who lived there grew old and did less for the up keep of the house hence the state of the house, wood burning really dirties the walls and ceiling. It would be interesting to know if the baths are cast iron or ceramic as these days most baths are plastic The large windows are nice but not the sash windows, nice big farm house are usually plain and functional. Thanks Noah as usual very thorough love your video.
Oh, CANADA 😮
y cant..tuay thay go around it????
Wonder why they had a guest house unless they rented it out.
Love the farmhouse.
Looks like they might have been a fire at 1 time or another or maybe from the fireplace wood burning stove cause that doesn't look like nicotine
This house are very great shape to fix it very nice
I do not believe it to be a quest house! Either they could not do the stairs in their farmhouse! Or one of their adult kids lived in the smaller house!
That could also be why they had it for sure.
Hey Noah, my friend, I agree with you that someone should come in and save this house 🏠.
I love your videos and your wonderful with explanations.
i bet histeriey comisien was pay off ta say that 😢😢
Great destination! I'd like to save this place .....
Thank goodness the toilet lid was closed!!
Love this exploration Noah , l have to say l prefer the guest house tbh the main home felt soulless to me ❤
sad cant leeve it standn 😭😭😢😢
Nice old house but so dirty…from the fireplaces?? Also that modern guest house seems very out of place. It’s a strange one!
Great house should be a actual crime to demo these fine old houses
They don't build them like that anymore, I really hope they salvage and repurpose a lot of the material
Milk Barn
Clearly, there is or was an old central heating system, judging by the registers; my guess would be that at some point, the system no longer worked, so instead of replacing it, they put wood burning stoves throughout the house for heat? If this is what they did, well....that's a pretty hillbilly thing to do; here in the U.S., I've seen old farmhouse where things like this were done to save a dollar.
I have two wood burning fireplaces in my house, but I immediately converted them to gas log sets when I moved in; no way in Hell would I ever tolerate all of that soot and smoke smell everywhere! However, if some national disaster were to happen and we couldn't get natural gas or propane, I can always pull those log sets out and resume the original wood burning function.
Love it 😍
❤
The cattle barn those stalls are cows. They put the cow in the stall and milk them
If I have a lot of money I would buying this house
161 like less goooo
Why do you have to lock the freezer?
Ha ha. To keep your victims from escaping, of course.
It was a dairy barn
❤❤❤❤❤
