This large property has much to explore. I started in the house, which is clearly abandoned and in rough shape. Mounds of personal items, but most are covered in animal urine and feces, so watch what you touch. Floors are soft and the stink is bad. The calendar hanging in the kitchen dates from 1998. The decor and wall hangings are and indication that the last folks who lived here were of Asian decent. Lots of furniture, beds, clothes, household items, etc.
I quickly had a look into one of the remaining greenhouses, although several remain and more are collapsed. Lots of small bits of hardware found inside these.
Next on the explore was an old GMC truck that will never run again. There are also some smaller sheds, random pieces of farm equipment and a large barn which remains unexplored at this time. A large log blocks the short driveway, so park down the road and walk it in.
The neighbours to the west have a slight view of the house, although the foliage covered my approach, still they were outside doing their morning routine and one man seemed to be approaching the house while I was there, so I cut my visit short, just in case.
