Forgotten Abandoned $16.4 MILLION Dollar Mansion UNTOUCHED With Everything Left Behind

[@shari102476]

It’s kind of eerie that a whole family just up and left. Makes you wonder what happened. And it’s a real shame to tear that whole house down. I mean, I’ll take it!!!! All the materials in that home from the beams to the granite and built ins just GONE. Ugh. It hurts my heart

[@robintaylor9652]

Just crazy! Can I just move the house to my lot!

[@bradpike1864]

I wouldn't shed any tears about this place it's a place in Aurora Ontario on St John's sideroad I personally have walked through the house and believe me it ain't worth 16.4 million dollars and the only reason why it's left the way it is because a new development Builder is coming in and the people that own the house before took a a buyout and took what was important to them and left

[@gracieg7601]

Why do people just abandon and split? Strange.

[@GenXandProud]

Made me angry to see all of the salvageable items in that house just left there (clothes, toys, furniture, cabinets, granite, doors, etc.) How hard is it to call a charity to come pick up stuff?? House seemed too large, too many living rooms; the flow was weird. Huge windows in the bathroom were strange, and so many doors to outside! Great explore, thanks!

[@kathryndirocco3048]

I totally agree

[@abbie4949]

I don't know about anyone else, but moving is the hardest thing for me to do, even if it's just me in a small apartment. I get so depressed and stressed out. If I had enough money I would pay ppl, to not only move me, but also to PACK ALL MY THINGS.....usually by the end, when I'm exhausted and overwhelmed, and I have a lot of random stuff that doesn't seem to "fit" in with other boxes.. if I have room in the car or uhaul truck I may just toss all the rest into garbage bags. But if I don't have room for the rest I too, will just leave it.

I do understand just leaving. My aunt had a beautiful home with a reverse mortgage she had maxed out. I was her only relative. I sold some stuff at auction, had an estate sale, and just had to turn the keys over to HUD and walk away. It felt awful but there is a limit to what one person can do.

[@tatianarizktaylor1818]

There’s a recent-ish movie called 99 houses or 99 homes. Very good & it shows how ruthless the banks & developers are when the main breadwinner falls on hard times. It really moved me. There are endless reasons as to why so many things are left behind. Usually the sheriff turns up at the front door with backup & guns & yell at the family that they’ve got 10 minutes to pack up & hand over the keys. If they don’t comply it can get real messy. Usually when the keys are handed over the homeowner gets $300 cash for the house & that’s it..$300 small ones. Could you IMAGINE???

It’s more than likely foreclosure. Every house that I ran into that had personal belongings left was foreclosed. They are given a certain amount of time to vacate the property, and almost every time they are going somewhere smaller, they are stressed beyond belief since moving is stressful in itself and they are losing their home to a bank. Personal belongings get left behind in almost every instance in my experience.

I just watched the whole video. I don't see anything here that has any real value. I'm not wealthy, but I'm just being realistic. Most of the stuff left here would just be extra garbage at a thrift store. All the TVs are old that no one would want, and the two monitors are really small and no one would want them at a thrift store. While the house is very nice... it had flooding and mold issues in the basement, which was indicative of the drywall having been removed from the studs below. As explained in the video... someone bought the land and is building an entire neighborhood / sub-division. This home looks like it was built in the late 1980s, and while a fantastic home (and I would love to have it), it is not any huge loss of architectural design.

[@PanchoyFermina1904]

This house looks to me very 80s, 90s. Maybe an earlier smaller house with subsequent additions. Until the house was too big and expensive to maintain. The kids grew up, they went away and the parents were lonely. They decided to sell the house and go live in a retirement community. They asked the kids to come home to take their stuff and the toys they had bought for the grandkids. But the cruel children did not come. So they left behind all the toys and the stuff they were tired of. Now they are living in a small apartment in a sunny place where they don't have to worry about the huge cost of keeping that house warm in the winter.

Which is why it’s being torn down, sadly. No one can afford to buy, except for developers. So after sitting abandon for so long, they swoop in with a lower offer, owner takes it, and then the developer levels everything, and builds several smaller “more affordable” homes on the land. Unfortunately, even the smaller homes are priced only a few hundred thousand less than the original home, so not that more “affordable,” just smaller.

This has the feel of those 80s and 90s mcmansions and I like it a lot it really felt so homey and had a lovely energy it’s so sad it will be gone. Do better Canada stop erasing old houses!

[@deborahpisano59]

Yes i agree with you they're too nice to be demolished.

[@t624]

Ethan I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for being respectful. May you be blessed with many blessings...

[@susanmiller4159]

Just a theory (cause it’s fun to guess): original owners lived there, added on, remodeled, raised kids. Kids moved out. Basement not used. Eventually passed away. Kids inherited and rented the house out waiting for that $16 mil offer. Renters get the boot. They know it’s going to be torn down so they just take what they really want. Kids toys were prob old toys kids outgrew. Possible day care situation/grandkids with all the crib/baby stuff. Wasn’t trashed but feels a bit neglected. I don’t need to guess that the basement was incredibly underutilized and the electric bill was prob $700 per month. Thanks for the tour. ❤️

Wow totally awesome place...really enjoyed this find! One of my top favs so far! Can't wait to see more!

[@irishfanrock3494]

Dude why do they tear down all these nice houses in canada. Is there no people up there that buy and fix up houses and flip them?

[@TehKitteh01]

There are, but flipping can be much more expensive here, than it is in the states. Tearing it down is usually cheaper. And besides, condos and apartments usually take the place of old houses. Or in my area, used car lots.

[@UmmYeahOk]

Very few people can afford homes like this in that area. A developer can make a lower offer after being abandoned for so long, level it, and then build several smaller cheaper homes on the property for a bigger profit.

[@chiefjetsonofflare5329]

@@UmmYeahOk There are many people in Canada that can afford that home but like most people if you have the money you build your own. The amount of people who are commenting about people in Canada not affording homes like this need to get informed🤣😂🤪

[@UmmYeahOk]

@@chiefjetsonofflare5329 most of the houses Ethan shows are worth US$1mill-$500k where I live, and most of those were built in the 90s or more recent. I don’t know what the cost of living is like in Canada. From what Ive seen in reality shows, it is much higher. I assume they must be better had accommodating this issue with better income, as it’s very common for Canadians to live in these US$500k+ 4000sqft+ US houses for half the year. My theory is many chose to stay for one reason or another, which is how many of these houses become abandoned, and eventually fall into decay as a result of that abandonment. It makes sense that if you wanted a $5-10mil house, you’d just build your own, not fix up a 70s relic, especially if it’s far from the location you wish to reside in. But clearly the demand for cheaper housing is there, which is why developers are doing this in the first place. They’re doing it here where I live. Only they literally bulldoze a million dollar home, and built 30 $700k homes. Cheaper, but not exactly what Id consider more affordable. If you can afford a $700k home, you aren’t poor.

[@candrv]

It’s easier to sell 40 $200K homes than one $1.5M home.

Awesome home tour Ethan. Beautiful home. Thanks and have a great day

[@llndadischer7689]

I would like to think that they are coming back to get the rest of their stuff and the kids stuff too.

[@Wolfiejohn]

Hey whats up !!!! thanks Ethan had a binge day and still watching more today have a safe day and keep it up staying home all day this helps

[@deborahpisano59]

I'm aware that we live in a throw away society but, This is ridiculous..Maybe, they left to China?!! They took the refrigerator with them so they couldn't have gone very far.

[@deborahpisano59]

I'm a JW. Thank you for your concern!

[@krissythomson8058]

Hi Ethan, What a beautiful house, must have been wonderful living there so much room and good vibes to this house, It is a shame that the family was most likely bought out and had to move so developers could build on that beautiful land, So very sad. Really enjoy every post that you do. Take care xx

[@carolynrice6383]

Why do people just abandon their homes and leave all their possessions behind like that. Its just very strange....

[@suzannebirkholz8757]

What a beautiful massive home. Loved the kitchen and master suite. Another shame to tear down a perfectly beauty of a home. Thanks for the tour.

[@terryjones3585]

I really like liked this house...but still so sad to see dreams shattered. You should keep cars no one really cares about them👍👋Noni

[@christopherhodson4049]

Great space in the Kitchen. A lot of counter space. Cool Bathroom too. Thanks. Good job.
