Astounding houses abandoned for years.

Some amazing works of art just sitting there, some with furniture still in.

Lots more here:

That photo actually when you look at it, the hedge has recently been cut back so it can't be completely abandoned can it.

Apparently, there is a kind of caretaker that lives in one of the houses but the other is abandoned. The houses were holiday homes for wealthy. The locals and caretaker does a little bit of upkeep to try and lure in tourists for donations. But its incredibly remote.

Here's where the pics came from originally and you can see how far away from everything it is.

so long as they're not in any of the darker red bits on this map, I'd love one.
