I would like to know the story behind that neglect...it's of such a beautiful piece of property and seems a little dangerous to have been left that way. It does make very nice photos though!
I suspect the story is sad, that someone's life has come apart in the same manner as the cabin. And yet all of it is a natural part of life, isn't it? That's why so many of us see the beauty in this.
I wonder if it used to be a deer cabin? That's cabins in the woods that are only used during deer season for the guys to go & sleep in. It sure has been neglected!
When I was younger, I would go explore things like that. I don't think that looks like it would be safe to enter. I see abandoned log cabins up on the north shore that have no roof, and one wonders how long it has been since it was abandoned and the history of it.
I bet you could get that cheap, but it would have to be torn down and something new put up. That certainly isn't livable. I'm surprised the heavy load of leaves didn't cause it to collapse.
This is what my grandmother would call a "real fixer-upper!" Brings back fond memories of roadtrips with her -- we always were on the lookout for buildings left in shambles!
Lovely shots! When we were traveling across the country we saw so many abandoned buildings in the middle of nowhere. Our culture has changed so much and so many people have moved into the cities, leaving behind their homes and barns in the country. The abandoned buildings make lovely photos, but I always wonder what their stories are and feel a bit sad to see their neglect.
From the shores of New England to the Oregon coast, I would like to share some of the places that I've been and things that I've seen.
As we travel you may notice; there is an emphasis on Massachusetts...my home state, you will see a lot of barns...that I love, whether old, new or dilapidated, we are not traveling in any particular direction, and we may visit some places more than once.

The photo in the title...
features the Far Away Farm in Ashfield, Massachusetts.
I was born in my grandmother's old mill house in Cornwall, England and came to the USA with my parents in 1958. My Dad was in the RAF and as a child I lived in many different locations in England and even the Rock of Gibraltar.
Massachusetts has always been home in the US except for a brief period when I resided in Idaho, giving me a chance to explore the Great American West. For nearly 30 years I lived on Cape Cod before my husband and I moved back to the mountains* of Massachusetts with our Goldendoodle Lucy, and our cats, Lilly and Molly. I am also the mother of a grown son.
*Some of you would call them hills but they're mountains to me!

I'm sure this was once a lovely cabin, but I don't think I could give it enough TLC to restore it to its former glory!
What a great setting, such a shame it's been allowed to fall apart!
Not much left to care for. What a shame that it has been so let go. People own 'them, don't they? Don't they look after them?

Too bad the old place was left to rot and fall apart. It would be such pretty scenery without it there.
They were great finds Sunny.
I would love to be there to explore.

Great find! This home must have been charming during its hey day, but I think it's also beautiful as it is now.
Are you going to fix it up? Waterfront property is nice.

Wow! Yeah, it needs a little work for sure! ;o) Great captures - that little shed is so cute!
A couple weekends of work and it'll be just like new.
Another picture to get my imagination going! Wonder what trials and tribulations went on it it!
