Where are all those people who love to renovate old houses?

Where would I find someone to buy an old (1790) farmhouse on long island? ?

House is currently lived in but needs a bit of work. Rooms are large. 2 and 1/2 baths 4 bedrooms, eat-in kitchen, den, living room, formal dining room. No poltergeists....but the house has a warm caring feel (presence?) about it....2 staircases, 2 fireplaces, large lot with fields as next door neighbor. Property is worth $. Stone foundation, basement, original beams (you can see ax marks) tongue and groove roof. Tree trunks used as beams in basement. Can easily be restored to original circa. Engineer's report: "House hasn't fallen in 200 years and isn't going anywhere in the next 200."

People on Long Island want a home not a project. This house while it is a home right now is a rennovators dream....how do I find a person/or/group who loves to redo old houses? I know of some wealthy people who own many homes and have even bought project houses in VT just to rennovate it and bring it back to its original state (with hidden modern conveniences like a/c heat and of course hot/cold running water. How do I find these kind of people?

But definitely would like the work, I have worked on all phases of renovation and specialize in chimneys and fireplace restorations. I aim to please...
