The family decided to invest in an abandoned house on the outskirts of a remote village, although such an endeavor may seem like a pure gamble to many people.
The house was unremarkable, but the masonry was well-preserved. The family had a clear plan, and within three years, the old village house turned into the most beautiful house in the area.
The village immediately appealed to the family. It is located in a very picturesque location in the valley of the Oka River. The nature here is beautiful, and there is not much traffic.
Additionally, the local plots are very affordable. The house came with a 50-hectare plot.
The plot was gasified and electrified, so there were no problems with setting up the infrastructure.
The owner of the house decided from the beginning to keep a video diary of the renovation, describing the progress of the work.
In his first video, he thoroughly assessed the initial condition of the house and outlined the general plan for the future:
The renovation process took more than a year, but soon the old house was unrecognizable.
The original frame was only recognizable at the building corners and window openings.
Once the new outlines emerged, it became clear that all the work was not in vain.
But that was just the beginning. Soon, additional details were added: alpine-style furnishings, a carport, and the overall beautification of the surroundings.
A small single-story building with four windows was transformed into a modern two-story house with several extensions and a garage.
Particularly interesting is to see the new building from the inside.
The owners came up with some interesting solutions for the interior design and tailored the furniture to the size and layout:
From the property, it’s only 40 kilometers to the nearest major city.
It was definitely the right decision to buy an old, abandoned house.
