House Hunters Season 2017 Episode 218 South Dakota Funny Farm

The episode of House Hunters season 2017 episode 218 "South Dakota Funny Farm" revolves around a couple who is looking for a new home in South Dakota. The couple is looking for a unique property and they have their eyes set on a farm that has been deemed a "funny farm." This property was named as such because it was previously a llama and alpaca farm and the couple is interested in living in a property with a bit of history and character.

The episode starts out with the couple, Kevin, and Maria, meeting with their real estate agent, Jessica. They discuss their budget and what they are looking for in a property before heading out to view potential homes. The couple is interested in a property that has some acreage because they are both interested in having a bit of space to spread out and possibly even start their own farm. Jessica has a few properties lined up for them to view, but the one that catches their attention the most is the farm that used to be a llama and alpaca farm.

The property has a large barn that could potentially be converted into living space, as well as several smaller outbuildings that could be used for storage or even for animals if the couple decides to start their own farm. The property also has a large pasture that the previous owners used as a grazing area for their llamas and alpacas. The couple loves the idea of having a bit of land to work with and they are intrigued by the history of the property.

After viewing the funny farm, the couple also checks out a few other properties in the area. They look at a few traditional homes with no acreage and a few homes with acreage that are in need of quite a bit of work. However, none of the other properties were able to compete with the funny farm in terms of charm and character. The couple ultimately decides to make an offer on the funny farm and after a bit of negotiation, they are able to come to an agreement with the seller.

The episode then shifts into showing the couple's renovation process. The couple decided to take on the large barn with the intention of converting it into their living space. They hired local contractors to help with the project but took on a lot of the work themselves. The couple was able to find some salvage materials to use in the renovation, giving the space even more character. They used old barn wood for flooring and beams, and even found an old wooden door to use as the entrance to the barn. The end result is a beautiful, open-concept living space with exposed beams and plenty of natural light.

The episode ends with the couple settling into their new home. They have started a small garden and have even adopted a few llamas and alpacas of their own. They enjoy the peacefulness of their new property but also love the fact that they have plenty of space to continue to improve and work on the property. Overall, the couple is thrilled with their decision to purchase the funny farm and make it their own.
