Two empty nesters bought an abandoned farm and turned the main house into a luxury home.
After living in Las Vegas for 15 years, DeWitt and Jean Paul decided to move across the country to Pennsylvania after their children moved out of the house. They wanted a fixer-upper and found an abandoned farm in Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania. They bought it in 2018 for $220,000.
They first decided to work on renovating the main house, which was in total disrepair.
“When we walked through the door we didn’t know if we could make it through without gas masks,” DeWitt told Business Insider.
The house was only built 30 years ago, but the 31-acre farm includes three other barns that date back hundreds of years.
The entire abandoned property, however, was overrun with cats.
