I Can't Believe They Demolished this Unique Abandoned House!!

The Santa Fe Estate
This abandoned Santa Fe style two-storey mansion was built in 1969.
After the owners passed away the home was sold for just under $6,000,000. The house sat for a little while and then was completely gutted right down to the studs. This may have been done after the owner was initially denied a demolition permit for the building. Since then new demolition and building applications were submitted and approved. The mansion was then demolished about a year later.
The home has been again listed for sale at prices ranging from $8-$23 million and has yet to sell. When the property was listed for $23,000,000, this would have been for the newly constructed mega mansion that has been designed for the lot.
That current building permit allows for a 17,000 sq/ft mansion, with 5 underground parking spaces, 5 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, elevator, home theatre, sport court, a pool as well as other amenities.
Would you prefer to own the current Santa Fe style house or the proposed mega mansion, let me know your thoughts in the comments below!!

Wow, what a terrific place! I'm saddened to hear this was demolished. We are such a wasteful species. I can't believe this wasn't enough for someone. It's a shame.

[@StaticSpaces]

Ya quite surprising given how i retesting the home was. Glad you enjoyed the tour and thanks for the comment!!

[@fayecox9401]

I agree this is a beautiful home I would definatly live in it it always can be decorated to your taste but sometimes different is unique I think it gives character

[@onewomanswhisky]

This was certainly a no expense spared mansion. Fascinating to walk through it with you. Just the ironwork was mind blowing, let alone everything else! The workmanship, though outdated, is top notch! Shocking that there wasn't any vandalism. What an extraordinary waste of money and materials, soon to be replaced with yet another extraordinary waste of money and materials. Heck of a world we live in. Cheers James!

[@StaticSpaces]

Oh i completely agree, it was a very solid house and i really enjoyed the decor. Dated...I'll take a home decorated in the 60s over anything modern, hands down. Plus that way you don't have to spend money trying to keep up with the Jones' every 10-15 years. Still so amazed anyone would want to demolish this house. Thanks for commenting!!

[@janwarriner6554]

Why demolish this big house well if no one want to live in. I have seen the front load washer and dryer for free that any of you do not want them 🤗

[@harrietlivengood6793]

Don’t you know that was a spectacular home in days past. It’s still in very good condition. They spared no expense in the building materials. What a shame it was demolished. I hope they donated the materials to somewhere like habitat for humanity. Imagine being able to get these treasures. I’m always baffled at people that never seem to have enough to satisfy them. Thank you for showing us this “used to be” magnificent home.

[@StaticSpaces]

You don't have to tell me it was spectacular, i loved this house! 😆 You are right i could tell how well built this one was and whatever replaces it won't have nearly the same quality of construction. Thank you for commenting!!

[@irenewatts2874]

Hi James This is one house that never should have been demolished. It has so many cool features. That indoor pool was one of them. That pool table was huge. You called it something else but it looks like a pool table to me. So many bathrooms. One for each day of the week. Rich people sure do know how to live. All the fireplaces were incredible. The kitchen was nice too. A really cool video James. Thanks for taking us along on this explore. Stay safe and well.❤

[@StaticSpaces]

Glad you enjoyed this one Irene, it certainly was a unique place! Yes, it's called a snooker table, pretty much a pool table with a few minor differences. A bathroom for each day of the week. Lol Thanks very much for the comment Irene!!

[@fayecox9401]

I agree they should sold it to someone else the house is beautiful ❤

[@colbaltanne]

Absolutely incredible! Can't believe it's going to be demolished. Wonder why it did not sell. I love it!

[@StaticSpaces]

Oh it did sell, initially but i think the new owners that tried to offload it a couple years later were just asking too much for the property. Thanks for watching!!

Hi James! I am absolutely lost for words. There have been videos in the past where I have really struggled to find any words because the places are just so unreal but I honestly don’t know what to say. This place was incredible. I cannot believe it was demolished. The basement was my favourite part. I know someone who would have loved that snooker table. In answer to your question I would definitely take this place over whatever will replace it and do it up to make it my own

Awesome Bathroom

[@choosewisely6994]

I'm surprised but I loved most of this house. I found it unique and interesting as well as beautiful with most of the floors and lighting and fixtures as well as wallpaper and the color schemes but my favorite was the iron used in the house and wood. Just a mixture of all kinds of styles. It was not boring and for me grand and special home. Kept me interested in the whole house but the first floor was the prize for me 🎉. Thanks for the video I really liked this one a great deal. I am sad it is no longer wanted 😢 as a home or it's style.

[@StaticSpaces]

The iron work is what surprised me most about this one, it's not everyday you see that sort of thing in a house. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks a lot for your comment!!

Hi James👋🏻, I really enjoyed this tour of this Spanish style mansion👍🏻. I feel the SAME WAY that you do I DO NOT see a GOOD reason to demolish this mansion. I see absolutely NOTHING wrong with this one but maybe whoever bought the property decided to demo this one and build something completely new. I really DID like the bathroom with the black and white and gray tile in it. I thought that was a nice touch. There was also a good sized pool as well that was pretty good👍🏻. Good thing that you DID find that “secret room” in the basement because I like finding things like that. Thanks for the great video of this mansion and see you in the next “Static Space”.

Absolutely, there was nothing wrong with this house at all. I still after years of doing this find it unbelievable that people will buy a house and tear it down just because they like the location. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks very much for the comment!!

Static spaces ? What does that mean? This was the most Gorgeous house I've ever seen. I love it...!! It's such a shame they had to tear it down. I know it's not what people like today, but to me this house was way more beautiful than the houses that they build today.( boring house ) lol!!😀 The only thing I wouldn't like is having the swimming pool and the sauna in the house. I'd rather have it outside and the sauna in a pool house. The mildew seems to always be a problem when people put the swimming pool and the sauna in the house. Plus, I love the swimming pool being out in the sun shine. I remember when I was growing up in the 70's and the Spanish look was the thing. But this Gorgeous house is off the charts with beauty. Or it was. That's sad. 😥☹️ Thank you for sharing this video. I'm going to save it and share it.

[@StaticSpaces]

Static Spaces, well it can mean whatever you want it to I suppose but in an oversimplified way, abandoned buildings I guess. I agree with you about indoor swimming pools, they certainly can cause problems with mold etc. But I think because this home is in Canada and get maybe 4 months of good swimming weather, I can understand why they would want to have it inside.

Absolutely beautiful! I wonder if you or any of your viewers have any hypotheses about why abandoned houses are so attractive to us? I find myself viewing as many abandoned explorations as I can, and wonder why? It seems to fulfill a need, but I don't know what is the need. Any thoughts, anyone?

[@StaticSpaces]

I think the reasons will differ for everyone but a very good question. As for me, i just enjoy architecture in general and i also really like the quiet that usually exists in these buildings. Thank you very much for the comment!!

[@onewomanswhisky]

Hi Nanette! I think it's rather like exploring old cemeteries. We wonder about the people, their lives, their deaths. Where did they come from, and under what circumstances. We consider what their dreams were, and ponder if they ever fulfilled them. We try to imagine who built the place, whose home it might have been, how much work and pride did they put into it. What did it look like before it began to fall apart, unloved. Humans are just naturally drawn to history, and abandoned homes are about as personal as it gets. For me, at least! Cheers... Marian 🇨🇦

[@StaticSpaces]

Nicely said Marian!!

[@amandarowell4932]

Great explore. This home is amazing, such a shame it was demolished. It did look like it had a serious mold issue. I noticed on several walls it looked like the green mold was starting to grow and spread. You asked if we would want this house or the new one to be built, and I would have to say the new one. Even though this one is great, there were several things that I would have to redo. Anyway, really enjoyed this explore.

[@StaticSpaces]

Glad you enjoyed this one! As for that green mold, I'm not sure how big of a problem it would have been, it didn't seem to be that extensive. I would also imagine it's not as toxic as the black mold you see in so many places. Thank you for the comment!!

I want to know where you can get drapes to match your wallpaper - I love how it made the window blend into the wall. Great explore James!!

[@StaticSpaces]

It is definitely an eclectic interior decorating style and not for everyone. Personally i really liked all of those bathrooms.

I agree with everything you said about this one and now that you mention it, the basement does seem to be a bit of a man cave.

I would have loved that home too bad it got demolished very sad, some people have too much money

[@StaticSpaces]

Ya there is a lot of this sort of thing going on these days unfortunately. Another really nice home gone forever. Thanks very much for the comment!!

[@reidx512]

This is such a waste, a terrific waste. I grew up with a pool in my home as my sisters and I tried to swim. Um, my home was nice but nothing like this home. For me. it is just a waste and I wish something better could have been done for humanity instead of tearing this down. Thank you so much for showing us this marvel.

[@StaticSpaces]

Oh wow, i could never imagine having a pool inside the house, then again i am not a big swimmer either. Would still be a nice thing to have though! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!!

[@reidx512]

@@StaticSpaces @ the time it was I suppose it was great as each of us, swam. Honestly, I probably would not ever do it again, as to have something like that in your home becomes very expensive especially when there are 5 girls. I still do not know how my parents did it as my Mother did not have to work outside of the home only at Christmas it seems. (MACYS) My Father had a good job, but the pool was so expensive. Now of the 5, 3 got scholarships to swim, and the other 2 (me) did not. One of my sisters still has the home, and we all share the expense of the pool. I was just there today, and I kept thinking about the home in your video, please please keep the videos coming. Blessings, Reid!!

[@StaticSpaces]

I will most definitely keep making videos...just fyi there is at least one other location i have posted that has an i door pool as well. Yes i can imagine it would get very expensive but sounds like it was a good investment since 3/5 got scholarships. Pretty cool that the home is still in the family too!

I’d rather have this house

I'm not surprised, i think only one or two people so far have said they would prefer the new one. Thanks very much for the comment!!

[@DeusTex-Mex]

It does seem wasteful to demolish this, but some properties have appreciated in value so much that it doesn't make financial sense for the owners to retain the older, lower-value buildings on them - especially if they'd require major restorations and updates anyway. I'd say most buyers don't want 70s style decor everywhere, even if it is cool to look at it in a time capsule I think living with it is maybe a different story.

[@StaticSpaces]

IDK, i would gladly live in a house that looked like this, it's great! Wouldn't want the expense of an indoor pool though. You do make a good point though, most people look at a house like this and think demolition is the only option. One major reason is some people just have so much money that dropping $10 million plus on a home is no big deal for them and those are exactly the buyers that move to that area. Thank you very much for the comment!!

This place was torn down because of greed. Greed over history. It's an amazing house...or was.

[@StaticSpaces]

Certainly was an amazing home! Thanks very much for the comment SG!!

Hi James : Looks to me like a member of the mafia built that house ! No taste but tons of money . In my opinion , can't be demo 'd soon enough ! Can see why it was unsellable !

[@StaticSpaces]

Wow, i thought everyone would like this house but i understand, not everyone has the same taste. However i could totally live in this house if i had that kind of money. Thanks very much for the comment John!!

@@StaticSpaces You are most welcome James ! No way to busy for me . That wallpaper was God awful !!!

[@Bluerose888]

I wonder how they got the snooker table in the basement.

[@StaticSpaces]

You have to bring it in disassembled and then put it together in place. It probably had a slate surface and those things can weigh 300 lbs a piece. Once the table is assembled the felt needs to be added, all this is done by professionals, it's probably not cheap. Thanks for the comment!!

[@barbarawedekind8198]

What a waste! I liked the black/white bathroom and the swimming pool, to me I can’t believe how people can put so much time and money into a house that size and then leave it. All in all I liked the mansion.

[@StaticSpaces]

Glad you enjoyed it. The original owners sold it but the new buyers only wanted it for the land, which is pretty crazy in itself. Thank you very much for the comment!!

Beautiful house. Too bad it was demolished. Why build a mega mansion and it will probably be abandoned because whoever owns will not be able to keep up with it's upkeep.

[@ranisrikumar5735]

Better it doesn’t go vandalised , such a pristine place!

[@StaticSpaces]

Agreed, it is a beautiful house. I think the root of the problem is that people today think that old is bad, maybe it's because we are so bombarded with new things all the time. I would imagine if they can afford to build or buy a brand new house that size that they can afford the maintenance, but who knows, maybe they don't realise how much it would truly cost. Thanks for the comment!!

[@StaticSpaces]

Agreed, I'm glad this one never had the chance to get vandalized.

[@TammyV2122]

I hate vandalism just as much as I hate litter bugs.

[@StaticSpaces]

Me too!

[@srevero1]

There's nothing boring about this house. i really am going to stop viewing these beautiful abandoned places because it just infuriates me to hear that these places are being demolished.

[@StaticSpaces]

Ya i get that but at the same time, if they didn't become abandoned then you may not have been able to see them in the first place. That's how I look at it anyway. Despite that is still disappointing to see them get demolished. Thanks very much for the comment!!

[@jerroldmcley4347]

Wow crazy it's not right someone have that much money to just destroy that place and build another one and cool bloopers again funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just don't understand where that kind of money comes from, i mean i understand there are wealthy people in the world but it just seems like there are so many more than there ever used to be. Thanks for the comment Jerrold!!
