Should We Buy This Abandoned Cabin? | S10E02

Our family if going through a massive transition. We are ending one adventure and beginning another. We are on a mission to find our new home and along the way we are getting to experience our own country like never before.
This week we’re checking out Northern Georgia to experience mountain life in the southern most part of the Appalachian Mountain Range. We explore an abandoned gold mine, argue over the best way to make a s’more, and we find a fixer upper log cabin and ask ourselves, could this be our new home?

Chris was an excellent guide in the gold mine! Thanks for the video again! Hope the family in Florida made out ok w the storm.

Been watching you guys for years…from someone who has spent most of my life enjoying the southern Appalachian mountains in GA, NC and SC this is so fun to watch. Here’s hoping you continue to enjoy the gem of the southern appalachians.

Holy cow Atticus crew, your video making skills are next level. PBS level. Been subscribed since your 1st boat and I admit I was worried about the 180 degree shift in content but you are crushing it. Your story telling is so educational and interesting. On par with your top level video and editing skills. Shows me it's as much the creator as the content. Awesome job guys.

Thanks for the Gold Mine Tour. Very interesting. It is obvious that this was filmed before the 2 recent Tropical Storm and Hurricane. It would be interesting to know how this area is, after the devastation of Helene. I am in North Carolina where it is going to take many, many years if not decades to recover. Hoping you find your 'place' to set down a home base for you to renovate or build for your future travel journeys. I am looking forward to your future expeditions.🥰

Beautiful filming. You all must be going through so many mixed emotions these last several months. The bitter-sweet of leaving behind your sailing life. And yet, being a mom, and remembering what pregnancy is like.. I could see in Desirae's face a relaxed peace I've not seen in a while. Being in your own country and knowing how things work for health care must give you both peace of mind. Like many comments, don't rush into anything... follow your heart, yet living day to day in a place is different than the 'wow' of a first visit. You all put so much effort and research into Atticus 2 before getting her, I hope you all do the same with where you settle down and your next house. And lastly, I know your families in Florida are going through so much right now with the hurricanes. However, you all came back at the best time. Not only for the new baby on the way, but also for your families that need your support right now. I'm sure on so many levels they are grateful to have you back near them.

So glad you got to see at least a part of the Appalachian mountains before it was nearly destroyed. I live in one so let me advise you to not make your home in an old log cabin!lol...that odor is moisture....

[danieloliver]

Buds, remember to buy something on top of the hill, not next to a beautiful stream or creek! I'm luvin your new adventure!! ⛵️🌄⛺️

[keinaanabdi]

No 😭you came home to have your baby and stay close by your family to the help yall deserve.

[bowdezaufa]

Bummed you're selling Atticus. But watching how happy and stress free you are. It's definitely the right path. Props for making the change for happiness.

It would be a dead investment, a house that would be difficult to sell. The sun hardly ever gets into the house and it doesn't look healthy. The ceilings are very low, the wooden structure may be moldy, causing odor and humidity. Security is another issue, I definitely wouldn't recommend buying it.

I was in the USNavy for 22 years and got to see a lot of different countries (Israel, Egypt, Turkey, Spain, Italy, and France). So, your travels to various countries coupled with my sailing interests is what attracted me to your channel. Now, that's all different, however, I still find myself attracted to your channel bc of my interests in what the USA has to offer in sight seeing. I wanted to do this when I retired, but the wife did not, so when I go I usually go with someone else or solo. For instance, I just visited The Creation Museum and The Ark Encounter with a close friend from Bible Study (Bucket list attractions for sure!). Can't wait to see the next video and the house/log cabin you wind up with.

[jacksgirl]

I'm so glad you guys made it through the hurricanes! We were so worried.

Slow down.
You're growing from 3 to 4 and you're changing lifestyles fast.
Nothing wrong with renting for a bit while you get your land legs back.

[jenniferdesousa]

Loved the videos when you were sailing, but love your new content as much or even more. So happy for you and this new adventure. Fabulous choice!

[MontyMartin.]

No no, on the cabin. There are better deals. For your personal home. Airy open floor plan. 😊 There, my unsolicited advice. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[MyHumboldtLife]

OMG! Guys, run from that cabin project. As a former carpenter, that place is super sketch to consider as a fixer upper. Remember, you have to fix it up to a point that passes applicable building code. But more importantly considering you want to make it a vacation rental, you have to be able to insure it at a reasonable cost. Whatever property you chose, you need to keep that in mind and build the cost into your business model. You guys are amazing and I wish you great success in your new endeavors!!

Georgia is a very beautiful stare 😊😊😊😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤.

[wow.sailor.]

Now I cannot say wow Sailor I need to formulate a new word that will describe your new adventure.
Stay safe and I love the small wooden home you might buy ❤

[timothymaimone]

Jordan and Desiree… love the new land-based adventure theme! Hope you find a residence close to the grandparents! A babysitting source will be a precious commodity.

[CNTFACES]

Giving up your boat and lifestyle Major props to you Jordan, I know it cant be easy with Desirae
