I wonder about the authenticity of this post lol. It looks awefully alive and NOT so dust for a real abandoned house.
The is up for sale, so maybe the real estate agent did some tidying up

House must be in an isolated part of a very small town for it not to have been torn apart by looters/grifters/squatters and the like
All the furnishings inside, and the fact that the house is listed for sale, make me think that the real estate agent staged it. People wouldn't leave so many personal items behind, and they wouldn't be in such good shape if they had been abandoned. This is in no way a criticism, because the staging is beautiful, and makes it easier for potential buyers to look past the damage and visualize living there. Your photos are also beautiful. I'm glad you had the opportunity to see the house, and that you shared your images with us :)
What you said is very likely, but the sentence that "people wouldn't leave so many personal items behind" reminds of something I heard about the post ex-Yugoslavian war era (mid-1990s). I don't remember exactly which of the ex-yu countries it was, but it's about a region that needed some re-establishment, you know, culturally rebuilding the place after the war was over. They needed teachers, so the offer was a free home granted to the teachers who'd come and work there. A teacher saw it as pretty cool deal and applied, but was shocked when s/he came into the promised home - all the personal items were there, even the plates were ready on the table, for a meal. Depicting in his/her head the scene of a family fleeing for their lives, or being forcefully kicked away, right before their meal even... That teacher couldn't take that home because s/he couldn't take the heart breaking environment. I hope this family who lived in this house had a happier story.

I saw a purse on the bed, a hat and paintings on the wall, a couple of shoes on the floor.. they seem to have disappeared. I would love to hear the history of this house and the story of the family..
I tried to get the story on this one, the only thing I know it's up for sale.

What a beautiful home. And pictures ant amazing! I would love to know what happened other than being up for sale!
Looks like a good history gem to me.Who knows what family would have lived there or what was their story...Would be really cool to know about people who lived there why they abandoned etc... Interesting but it makes me think this story has a sad ending.
It's as if the owners stepped out expecting to return. I'm glad it hasn't been ransacked....I wonder what the story behind it is?
I think nobody lived there for a wile, but it s not abandond. Somebody has tried to maintain it. (Cloth under broken window, ceiling that came down was cleaned up)
No water damage, sun bleaching, broken windows, cobwebs, warped boards, or looted treasure?
no water damage? Check again ;) neglected-..._880-1.jpg 
So you found an empty house and just wandered in and started taking photos? Did you eat their porridge, break their chair and sleep in their bed too?
no made out of plastic and all flowers were silk

Abandoned houses in Michigan look like something straight out of a horror film...definitely not as enticing as this one.
The cleaning and staging done by the realtor adds to the "feel" of this photo. Everything stopped when everyone left. Gorgeous
A home waiting for its family to come back...very haunting photography. Thank you
It doesn't look deserted, unless you brought in the furnishings, etc. it just looks like it needs cleaning and repair, not deserted for dec
Did you check for a half human half molerat thing living under the floor and in the walls!
it feels romantic. i can imagine living there quietly with some cats and dogs.and the sounds the house makes will be like some kind of lullaby,i guess.
If this is staged, no modern pieces were used. Shoes, tv, furniture, nothing looks newer than 1960's.
How do u know it's abandoned........... just cuz it's old doesn't mean no one is watching you....
filled with beer and wine, but to dark to take pictures

Ohhhhhhhhhh !!! Wonderful!!! I want to be rich enough to be able to buy and save as it is!! Thanks for showing it with these beautiful pictures!!!!
Please do some research and come back with updates about this house! I bet the story is BoredPanda-worthy :D
The house is up for sale, so maybe the real estate agent did the garden

Maybe people do live there just like to keep away from other people, they've gone away for the week and you just broke into their house....
How did you discover it ? It would be great if I can learn a thing or two of the story of it.
I wonder what the state of this house is now! Have you followed up on it? Hopefully someone bought it and restored it. It does look amazingly preserved at first glance having been abandoned for so long, but you can tell that the thing really was in poor shape at the time these photos were taken if you pay close attention. It's funny what a liiitle but of staging can hide though.
Maybe the prior owners were elderly with no one to leave this lovely home to. Seems a waste to not renovate it.
the fresh cut flowers in many of the photos have me doubting this home is truly abandoned
I don't think this is abandoned, people living here probably just don't have the money for the upkeep
Amazing house and amazing pictures. It makes me think of some Wes Anderson movie scenes
It's not big enough to be a country estate yet it is remote in the countryside? I don't think it's a house I think it was built as weekend retreat or perhaps a hunting lodge for the aristocracy.
@ Vacant Photography Which countryside of France ? It's look like North or Normandie. But it also can look like Nantes or Bordeaux...
When people leave their personal items behind, it usually means they left in a hurry. I'd bet that place is haunted and the occupants finally had enough and decided to flee.
I thought I found some strange footprints in my house. You didn't take anything did you?
You had no business just waltzing in there. Someone owns that house - even if it is up for sale - and you were trespassing. In any event, it was nothing more than ruin porn.
I'd want to know what happened to the people that lived there? They obviously didn't just move & leave everything, even the Childrens pictures! Were they murdered or taken during the Holocaust? What happened?
Tvs and other items arn't from the 40s I guess. Also: children's pictures? They look realy anonymous to me. Like the ones you'd buy in a frame just to make sure the frame gets sold. They lack emotion. I doubt they are real paintings or pictures from people who lived there. I can barely see pictures anyway. Did strike me as odd while looking at this.

How much does the photographer get from the real estate agent for pimping this?
Don't know, don't care, I just enjoyed looking.
