But this side of the ocean it's all about the new.
We owned a hand hewn square log home built in 1890 on 22 acres with large pond and 17 springs in the SD Black Hills ( surrounded by forest service). It had been a stage stop for Cheyenne/Deadwood stage. 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, in perfect shape.

We were moving out of state and had to sell it. People loved the land but omg they were terrified to buy a home built in 1890 cause it's so old

We finally did sell it to a man that had lived there before.
