Old House Dreamer

A lover, obsessor, dreamer of old homes.

184 Big Creek Rd, Sneedville, TN – $84,500
I’ve spent so much time browsing houses, posting them and day dreaming about these old houses that I forgot about what I REALLY dreamed about doing. Yes, I love looking and daydreaming about Queen Anne’s but my real love is in simple farmhouses. I love the rough floors, tongue and groove (or beadboard) walls and ceilings. I prefer it over ornamentation I guess. I am usually equally in love with the land it is on too. Fields, orchards, gardens, creeks and the barns. If it were really up to me, my perfect house would be surrounded by nothing but land. No neighbors, no convenience stores, no fast food for miles. No people but me, Timmy and Taters (since she thinks she is a person anyway.) Maybe one day, we’ll move to a place that we could actually afford more than 1 acre of land that has an old house on it. Until then, I have to day dream about places like this one.

5.45 acres with two fenced pastures, barn, year round creek, fruit and walnut trees. It also has a 100+/- year old two story farm house in need of renovation and a trailer (to live in while the house is restored.) This would be my ideal place. And, the price isn’t bad either! Did I already mention, it is located in Tennessee, my favorite state!

1211 Westwood Ct, Chippewa Falls, WI – $369,900
5 Bed, 5 Bath, 5320 square feet on 2 acres. I think this house has one of the most beautiful staircases, not as in woodwork as much as in just the wow factor.

63795 638 Avenue, Humboldt, NE – $30,000
4 bed, 2 bath, 5400 square feet on 6.07 acres. Two stair cases, walnut trim from floor to bottom of window sills in most rooms. Two open porches on the second floor.

I posted this house back in July 2009 when it only had 1 pic. Now there are additional pics, including a pic of the front, just makes me want the house more, bad condition and all!


510 4Th Ave Sw, Faribault, MN – $319,900
6 Bed, 4 Bath, 5789 square feet. Looks like this is a foreclosure. Wish there were more pics, this looks like a fabulous house! Check out the aerial view.
