Southern Farm House


The farm house at Magnolia Ridge in Ridge Spring, South Carolina is a splendid southern home with a large barn and several outbuildings.


A double gliding swing is on the front porch. I have not seen many of these.


These gates were for sale. How about that?


One of the outbuildings has red chippy paint.


The barn is large and tall for the South.

I also took many pictures on Instagram.

  1. Love the chippy paint! Thanks for your concern for Oklahomans. Up here in Tulsa it has stormed for days. But no devastation such as it is in central OK.

  3. What a beautiful farmhouse - was everything for sale because the people had died or were moving on?
    My heart goes out to the people of Oklahoma and especially those who have lost friends and family - it must have been a terrifying experience to live through.

    1. It was an antiques and art sale with about 30 vendors scattered around this house. Tornadoes are scary and cause loss of life in those areas with flat topography. it is heart breaking.

  8. Dear Olive,
    I just LOVE American houses with all of that gorgeous trim .... and, the porch too..... I always think of mint julep when I see a house, porch and swing like that !!
    ..... and, such a devastating tradegy in Oklahoma. I have been so moved by the images we are seeing. I just hope that they get all of the help that they need to get their lives back together and as quickly as possible . XXXX

  11. Beautiful farmhouse! I've never a double glider on a porch before. My husband built a free standing one for a client several years ago. Thanks for sharing!
