Absolutely stunning. What a gracious host. Thank you Mr. Smith, for sharing your home with us, and Matt, for making this video happen. Bravo.
It's been so long I didn't recognize Mr.Allan but as soon as he spoke I started remembering all the great shows they produced. Here is a man who is original not a spokesman for the top paying corporation.
Staggeringly well conceived, appointed , and so livable . I am beside myself with appreciation .
If i had the money, i would build a old style victorian, or plantation home with the big hall right down the middle. Love this so much! ❤❤❤
I love Victorian homes. When I moved to upstate New York, I was looking for one. But people here really don't take care of these homes, and many were not in good areas. The amount it would take just to get back in shape and add some modern touches would have been double the amount I'm currently in. 1998 Colonial style home.
This house/property is an absolute dream.
I love the content of this vid, but also the humility and grace displayed in the conversation. I hope our country can return to this kind of interaction being the norm.
The thought that went into every detail of this house ... truly a pleasure to hear
For 30+ years I said id love to have a new house done like a old house and he did my vision and it's wonderful I'm glad he got the dream. Him and the house are so awesome. Thank you for sharing.
It’s beautiful!!! I’ve always wanted to do this too!
1970 Grew up in a 1856 built home/farm that never had electric/Plumbing other than an old hand pump from cistern. Learning renovation from my father gave me the opportunity of a life time. Can’t wait to see more. Thank you Mr Smith for the showing.
I knew this was P. Allen Smiths home just from the opening shot. I watched it bloom from a garden to this stately home. Glad to see Paul is still having a great life.
I am blown away by this home!!!!
Favourite Video so far, what an impressive tribute to heritage. I find this style stands the test of time due to quality, functionality, and of course character. A house that tells a story of many enjoyable lifetimes is home to me.
I remember watching all the segments while Allen was
building Moss Mountain Farm. The Garden work and out-buildings
are more impressive than the Home. Allen is the epitome of a Gracious
Southern Gentleman. Nice to see him again.
5 Stars! Holy Smokes!!!! Beauty nothing less!
What an absolutely gorgeous house & property. The design & craftsmanship are beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with us.
It’s too bad the majority of houses built in the U.S. are so poorly built.
Beauty is such a key element for an environment.
His home really did turn out phenomenally. I remember seeing the various stages as it was coming along. The grounds and gardens are just as wonderful. Even the chicken coop is a work of art.
Am curious as to where he managed to find the lovely art filling the walls.
I love a new house with an old soul. Best of both worlds.
That P. Allen, he’s a wizard!😊❤
This is how we would want to build our dream home. An 1880s - 1900s style house but without all the 1880s issues haha
I do so enjoy P. Allen Smith and his show. Such a treasure.
I've visited Moss Mountain Farm twice at blogger events, and I can say that MMF is even more gorgeous in person, and Allen is a gracious host.Those were unforgettable visits.
I do recall the PBS series on the construction and development of the property. The Summer kitchen was the kicker for me.
I’m in complete awe of this house! Best episode ever, thanks for sharing.
Spectacular is hardly enough to say about this property, great job showing it off.
Absolutely stunning at any age.
No modern flatpanel, reglets, or abscessed base..... anywhere.
Different textures and a full jungle gym for shadows to play with.
I’ve toured this home and farm. It’s stunning.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤❤❤
I love EARLY AMERICAN /COLONIAL Stunningly beautiful. 😍
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This new old house
Wow, Matt mentioned a Rumford fireplace? See some of those being built and burning at my. Brick Saver LLC
WOW! Allen is one of my design idols and such a humble and self effacing person
Beautiful house. Thank you for sharing this amazing house.
Awesome house …. Just love it
Matt!You hit the nail on the head!P. Allen Smith has an unbelievable farm and property.Best show yet.Thanks
Truly magnificent, such a rarity to see such beautiful design and build quality in this day and age, let alone 20 years ago. A home for the ages
Absolutely Outstanding Home...⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ok…..favorite house of all time hands down
love, love, love this house!
I remember watching this series on PBS. The entire property is amazing. I can’t believe it’s been twenty years.
Definitely one of my favourite episodes. Wow.
I’m a random viewer. Beautiful home and such a truly charming host.
Gorgeous house and interior design.
Beautiful home!
A builder and that is an amazing home. Thank you for the tour
terrific
what a beautiful house!
What a stunning estate!
I'm only 5 seconds in and what a beautiful home. Wow.
Superb
Nice
Yoda takes Obi Wan on a house tour. Well done.
Miss your videos❤
A delight
Been watching your channel for years now, had no idea you were from Pittsburgh! I'm from Johnstown, Small world! I'm sure living in Texas it is probably a felony to show your steeler support, but anyone from the Burgh has to be a steeler fan! You should talk more about your life in Pa in one of you shows.
That house is beautiful! It's too big for me, but the design is excellent.
Imagine hide n seek for the grandchildren must be incredible or frustrating.
The The passive solar domestic hot water heating sounds interesting particularly for southern climates.
Next time you come to Arkansas give me a call, would love to take you to lunch HUGE FAN of the build show
Wow…would have liked to see the fourth floor!
Copper tub is nice
Nice to know that they actually do still build them like they used to.
Unfortunately that’s probably a $3 million dollar house.
Hey Build Show Editors, the music in the background has a very annoying drum beat, Very distracting...
How are the shutters on the front angled away? I'd like some more information on that, it sounds interesting to ensure they're at the correct angle when closed.
Matt loves everything except the open fireplace 😂
Beautiful house…but someone went a little overboard with the lights in the kitchen 😂😂
With some of the oldest homes the middle section is original. As the family grows so does the house. Usually like bookends.
Impressive that P. Allen Smith knew, 20yrs ago, that to get a 'new house with and old soul', he needed to create a narrative of the desired history of the new house and then have the architect and builder create to that narrative.
Where is the link to his CZcams so we can watch the garden episodes please?
Anywhere to find the floor plan?
FYI. My grandfather bought a farm in 1946. The house on that land was built in 1895. It is in great shape today 130 years later. The only major thing my grandfather did to it, was put a roof on it in 1946. It was a metal roof still there today, hasn't leaked once, and will likely still be there in 2040.
When someone says they don't build things like they used to, that is 100% the truth. That farmhouse will outlive anything DR Horton builds for the next decade.
*Matt Risinger* Remember following him throughout the build, amazing home & property, thank-you gentlemen for taking the time to show us around. GOD Bless.
No thanks
Where’s the link to the homeowners channel?
"What's in Allen's cupboard?" Some jokes are just too easy.
This is the house I want to live in, except not in Arkansas.
The home's windows don't appear to be true divided light windows. That aside, the home's exterior is great.
😃👍🏼👊🏼
He got the details right….
Is that mold growing on the walls when they are on the back patio??? @14:00 time frame
Worn limewash - no mold
@@suavocado69looks nasty. Like the painter didn't do his job right. Maybe that's an easy Coast thing or something. I wouldn't want my house looking like that. But then again, I was born and raised in the concrete jungle of Phoenix where every house built since 1990 is stucco and most houses built before that were stucco, but also had wood panel siding.
@@MikeHarris1984 I think it's the character they're going for. You can also see the underlying brick in several other segments, especially right at the beginning from 2:30. Picture yourself looking at 1,000 year old homes along the Greek coast. That's the aesthetic, though yellow probably isn't the best color. Also, I'm not sure Arkansas is considered East Coast.
@@MikeHarris1984 It cannot appear like paint because it is not a paint. It is a wash made from alum, hydrated lime powder, pigment and water. Without pigment it would be called whitewash.
Why do aMEricans wear their dirty shoes into the house? You see Asian influencers always saying it’s an Asian thing but my family and extended family all had that rule. Take your shoes off! Don’t track dirt into the house! LOL 😝 my Mom would be so upset if she saw this. BUT! The interior design is absolutely stunning! The lighting in the kitchen is amazing. 🤩 I love that kitchen. ❤ it fun to see these beautiful homes. I’m too poor to ever dream of owning one. 😊
. . .but no neighbors anywhere.
Very nice house but is really strange to put so much effort into making a new house look old.
The house is stuffed to the gills with just.... stuff
Well, I know what I’m doing when I win the lotto…
15:53 The sexual tension.
Wow the background music is quite loud I really noticed starting in kitchen walk through. Then it goes silent temporarily when discussion of dishwasher occurs big difference too loud.
Why is this only uploaded in 1080 it’s 2024.
P. Allen Smith's commitment to historical authenticity is so great, that he actually owns slaves!
Traditional open hearth indoor fireplaces are one of the worst things to have in a modern house. They emit SO MUCH air pollution and are incredibly inefficient and a huge fire hazard.
It's a beautiful house, but if my great grandad got rich because people toiled from birth to death under his whips, that would be a deep source of shame, not an aesthetic to replicate.
superb - noword
WOW
❤❤❤
