East of Cobourg/ Barn Charm

 Old barn for sale

This photo was taken a few weeks ago. Today there is NO snow there.

I guess the farmer who owns this barn is finished with farming because there's a realtor's sign on it.

A second view of the same barn

I am linking to BARN CHARM at Trish's Bluff Area Daily.

I wonder if anyone will be interested in buying an old barn? Or do you think it's more for the land?

Judy said...

Poor barn, I hope who ever buys it will continue farming and fix up the barn.

Wonderful barn pics. I love the way the snow makes it look almost monochrome.

Lowell said...

He must be selling the land 'cause that barn may not make it through the night!

I really like that 2nd shot where the road leads the eye 'round the bend!

a little extra air conditioning in that one. hope someone buys it and saves it. :)

Linda said...

Around here, we call that an "air-conditioned" barn! What a neat photo...but a sad barn. Oh well, time eventually catches all of us, doesn't it?

Genie said...

I hope someone buys it before too much longer because it seems to ned a lots of TLC. Love that air conditioning.it is free.Nice post.genie

Yeah, I'm thinking this old barn may have seen its last good days. I'll bet someone could some really creative stuff with that weathered wood however!

Beth said...

definitely could use some work. poor barn. good bones though. (:

Love the first shot with the grass, fence, and snow in front of the barn. Who ever buys the land will probably tear it down.

Rose said...

It looks so cold...brrrr...but it sure makes a good photo.

Mari said...

I love that barn! The snow adds to the scene.

Gillian Olson said...

This barn needs a bit of attention, hope someone buys it a fixes it up.

Elaine said...

A couple of nice shots! The small farmer has such a hard time making a go of it anymore. Hopefully this will stay as farm land.

Tanya said...

sad....i hope that doesn't end up a strip mall....

Viola said...

a charming barn :) once..
But I like old buildnings like that! I wish I could be able to see more of them in my country also..

Tricia @ Bluff Area Daily said...

Whoever buys the place, I hope they keep the barn, cuz it's a beauty! Love the fence & tall grasses in the foreground!

Thanks for joining, EG! =)

Very beautiful photos EG! At least the barn isn't leaning yet... maybe it can be saved!

Aw, I bet that little barn served well in its time.

Tezzie said...

Would be great to salvage some of those gorgeous old barn boards, though...great capture, and one can't help feeling sorry for the old charmer <3

That barn must have been something in its glory days. Now it looks a bit forlorn. Nice shot.
