I found this place last fall and quickly became fond of it. I saw it on maps and it looked prime but maps lies. So the night I went to scope the property, there were no lights on at the house and I had never seen lights on. I crept up the driveway in my car with my headlights off. I did this half the times I went (to avoid neighbor noticing cause ya never know) and almost drove off the driveway into the field with my tiny Toyota. All kinds of CLINGS and CLANKS driving up there from plants hitting the exhaust. The driveway is "gated". There is an old stone house with all kinds of animal holes thru it and some soft spots. It still has all the windows (AMAZING!). There were some hand prints of kid(s) on the wall in a bedroom upstairs showing it get bigger thru the years. You can tell there was a kid. There is a "Fort" and a small rotted childrens wood play house. Like 4 or 5 silos and 3 or 4 HUGE silo foundations that are in a swamp. When we first got a good look at the barn, it looked like it was gonna collapse (and found out that part of it is). Great explore. Many terribly sketchy parts in the barn, especially when you cross into the collapsed part and climb stuff. There are 2 outbuildings as well. Super nice old wood row boat in there. MINT PLACE!. House may have asbestos due to age and depending when it was last renovated.

EDIT: Upped the access because the owner doesnt fully secure the place and I had unlocked the front door when I went the time I made the Plentiful Playground gallery, and someone had taken a tool and pried the door open even tho it was open. Savages. Tool marks on the latch. POE arent supposed to be here but use the board to the basement and put it back when done. The place is too nice and I want to see it decay itself or be salvaged, not marked up by people who dont fully scope a place before going in. Nothing was ever messed with or the front door left wide open in over a year until it goes on this site. Close the damn door folks....Remove that comment if you have to, just grinds my gears in a mint place like that to go fucking it when you dont need to.

---FROM MACKABREKISS---
A farmhouse likely victim to urban sprawl, this property also featured a wood milling business and an auto body shop.

Of the 5 of so times Ive gone, the gate was open once and a truck was here. There seems to be fresher wood in one of the outbuildings so if that gate is open, dont go unless you have serious questions for whomever is there. When the cornfield is cut as it is this time of year, the neighbors can see clear across so careful with that too if ya go.
