I live on Vancouver Island and it hurts my heart when I see this once beautiful home, destroyed. I don't understand people... 😢 glad you were able to see a bit of what is left. I enjoy your channel and look forward to seeing your next adventure.
It’s so sad to see something this historic so trashed and left behind. I can only imagine how beautiful it was at one time. The view would be amazing. Thank you for sharing.♥️♥️
Wow! This place must have been incredible...I can only imagine the water views. I'd love to wake up, look out my window and see seals and whales! I love fireplaces, but most of them were extremely small and I can't imagine that they heated those rooms.
Unbelievable senseless waste. What on earth influences someone (not just kids) to damage such a awesome home. Love this house, but the mindless damage done cannot be explained. Who are these losers? Thanks for another great EXPLORE .✨🌷🌞
Wow! You manage to find some of the most spectacular properties. The buildings may be junk but the land and views are some of the best. Thank you. Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks for sharin...kool intro tunes..tiny fireplaces for each small room..distribute heat...drone footage great, canoe starfish ..awesome...the ol black n white...great research..🐢🐘👽🦋🐒🌈
Hi Brent Nice drone footage. I love drone footage and the scenery Sad to see the house so vandalized/ Graffiti Thanks for your time in exploring it! ❤️ from Minnesota
Finally I watched this video 🙌🏻 this the only video of yours I didn't watch right away,Wooow huge house,amazing view,a big shame for such a wonderful property great job my favorite explorer 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you are the best 👍🏻😁🇨🇦❤🇷🇸
What a great location..I would love a house like that with ocean view..kind of secluded...rebuilding the house or building a new one at this location must be very complicated due to the remoteness of it..bring in up the materials etc...great one Brent.
Hi Brent. Just love your drone work. You're so talented. Also loved the sound of the rain falling on the umbrella. Safe travels my friend. You are my number one urbex explorer weither from here or abroad. You are fantastic. Be well 🇨🇦👩🍳🍁
Thank you for the warning about all the bad graffiti. My son and I watch your videos together, but this once I think he can skip. What beautiful views!
This house is a prime example why foreign buyers should not be allowed to buy a place unless they plan to live in it. I know that Canadians do this too but at least it would cut down on the frequency of abandonment. This is such a shame. In the good old days and also in places without accessible utilities for central heating, the only way to heat a place was with a fireplace in each room. These days it's easy with solar or thermal heating. I'll never figure out what kind of twisted pleasure people get in destroying a place. Thank you for the smooth movement of your camera, it makes it easier to watch the video.
WOW...it went from a loving home to a "Bought & Forgot" property...sad!..it must of been quite the place in it's day!!...the view is still breathtaking!!!..THUMBS UP!!
The sad thing is that this property is worth twice as much as when it was in habitable condition precisely because of the activity of offshore investors like this…
@@1868foxpoint Canada currently has the most over-priced real estate in the world. The inflation in prices has been greater than what the US had prior to its bubble bursting. The last couple of years has produced >25% price inflation yoy, continually. More than half of all properties sold are purchased by buyers who already own other properties. Vulture offshore investors have been able to purchase properties like the one in this video, neglect them into ruin, and double their money, driving up demand in the process.
Really great video, I loved the end with the seals and ocean views etc. I’m a massive fan of the West Coast. This is a stunning property, I’m amazed it’s still vacant (the land) and saddened by what has happened to this home. Such a waste.
10 MILLION DOLLARS?!?! Haha, clearly I was bewildered 😂. This was a really fun explore, thanks again for letting me tag along. Glad our drones got along so well 😆. Loved the kayak footage with the seal at the end, too!
Wow what an incredible video!! Too bad it's so vandalized, I can only imagine what is was like back in its prime. You captured some beautiful scenery. I love this video.
I love your videos Brent! Even the if they have lots of graffiti. You just look past it & take in the beauty of the property. Thanks for sharing them & all the history. This 1 was huge!
Thank you for doing this video! Everything around my area is destroyed by vandalism & the saddest thing is that someone allows these places to just deteriorate after purchasing them. I love using my imagination and seeing past all the junk because what it must’ve looked like…. it’s fun to imagine🥳😍
I appreciate your efforts to keep your channel clean and the warning you gave in this video. I sometimes watch with my son, and it's nice to have a warning.
Another awesome video Brent! Your productions are clearly improving with time. I can only imagine how peaceful this place must have been in it's prime. Random question: Where do you source the cool, downtempo electronic music you use? I'd like to maybe try some of it in a future project of mine if it can be licensed. Cheers!
Hey thanks so much! Yes it was once a beautiful house. In the description of all my videos it has all the music info. It’s royalty free music just need to credit them in the description
What a beautiful setting so close to the water and the woods. Luved the purple starfish! This was very nicely done even with the graffiti! Thank you for sharing!
Loved hearing some of the back story, always interesting. As far as all the fireplaces, that was when the house DID NOT have a central heating system. So the fireplaces WERE the heat source. LOVE seeing old houses. This is as close as I'll get to exploring abandoned places. Thanks for the tour!!
Stunning area. Such beauty. What a shame this place was destroyed. I saw the before pictures. So unique & I loved the art work that was there. Thanks Brent
Your walk around does not show a lot of structural damage, drywall would replace the lathe and plaster and yes the building could be repaired and updated if the intake price was right. Thank you for the great video.
It sounds very solid, not rickety and shaky in the least. It is all cosmetic, that place took a whole lot of abuse and would need a complete gut rehab down to the frame. That timber framing in those walls is something else. In today's prices if they are asking $10 million for the property it would probably need at least $5 million or more to bring it back to its former glory. A very beautiful home, beautiful property and a total shame what happened to it. I would love to see pictures of what it once was. Who knows what evil was brought into it while abandoned and trashed.
Hello Brent. Thank you so much for sharing this explore. Love the house. It HUGE. The house would have looked really nice in the when it was new. The drone footage was awesome. Greetings from Doris in Australia :)
great explore Brent, what a beautiful place this must have been when it was "alive" and running, love all the fireplaces and that Elevator was awesome,,
The destruction and graffiti are a sad commentary on society. It would be cool if you had photos from the time this was nice to compare/contrast with now.
Hey Brent thank you so much for your wonderful videos! I haven’t commented much lately however I always look forward to your new videos every time they come out. ❤️
This is such a beautiful part of North America. My Family moved to Florida in the 90's but the folks got married in Vancouver and honeymooned on Vancouver Island in 1958. We had a chance to take a trip up there and flew into Bellingham. We traveled all over, went to Whistler, etc. I was born and raised in Michigan but the winters just got too cold. Now we deal with sink holes, hurricanes and for the first time since I moved here in 1995, tornadoes. We are the Town that was hit by 5 tornadoes in Jan of 2022. I really enjoyed your narration. Is there a way you might be able to find out more history on these old homes that you can share? The history you talked about was great but maybe more detail on why someone would invest in a property like this and then not rent it or use it as a B&B? I'm looking forward to the next one!
Wow! You found another jaw dropping beauty!!! NOT the STUPID GRAFFITI!! I mean the beauty was in your drone footage. The gorgeous setting of that huge home, trees, water, and seals...the cliff edge, and endless rooms on multiple floors!!! And your inside tour, that I easily became lost in!! Do you suppose all the woodwork was originally black? and walls white?? Didn't see any remnants of wallpaper anyplace. I enjoy your explores SO very much!! You do the very best job each time😊 Thanks and be safe❤ Such a lovely country up there!!- ❤ from Illinois
The small fireplaces have me puzzled. It seemed like you could only fit a tiny log and what would be the point? Beautiful area, thank you Brent for this explore. Stay safe ✌️😊
You are on our beautiful island. The condition of this house is appalling. I can’t even watch it all the way through. Even the iron on the windows are bent and broken. So very, very sad. This is what happens when “off shore” buys our land.
Nice house and nice views. Pretty trashed and the graffiti is horrible. I saw the listing for the house online. And the bath tub in the elevator is pretty bad too. Those old houses have the servant quarters which I really like. Thanks for the explore
Just infuriates me to no end that anyone thinks they have the right to go trash someone elses property like that.
Little bastards destroyed this beautiful property. Makes me sick.
I live on Vancouver Island and it hurts my heart when I see this once beautiful home, destroyed. I don't understand people... 😢 glad you were able to see a bit of what is left. I enjoy your channel and look forward to seeing your next adventure.
Where is this on the Island? Thanks 😊
Seriously wish people would be held accountable for the damage. Where is the RCMP? What a senseless waste, but what a beautiful home indeed.🌷
@@river8760 sorry I don’t post addresses on the places I explore
@@AbandonedUrbexCanada that’s fine.
yeah, it's pretty sickening .... I .... well, right now I'm singing that Tubes song, 'White Punks On Dope' .... :-/
Heartbreaking that others would have such disregard for this beautiful home!!
I've never seen a place this vandalized before. The house must have been beautiful during its prime.
It’s so sad to see something this historic so trashed and left behind. I can only imagine how beautiful it was at one time. The view would be amazing. Thank you for sharing.♥️♥️
Tiny fireplaces were to burn coal. It's stacked up in an iron grate. They are not common here in Canada but they are everywhere in the UK.
I was thinking they stood the logs on end! 😆 TY
Makes sense thanks for sharing this
I just learned something!
Think the servants had the rooms with smallest fireplaces
Liked to have seen it before the vandals found it. If the place is sound it could be stripped and redone but...
Thanks for the tour Brent!
👍👍👍
Your music selection is topnotch.
Absolutely beautiful scenery.. it’s a shame the house is so freaking wrecked.. I bet it was beautiful in it’s day… thanks for the explore!!
I have to admit that the multiple warnings about the graffiti made me pay closer attention to what was written on the walls
I had to give a warning as some kids watch my videos with their parents
That shoreline 😍
The roof was surprisingly water tight. Such a shame that the 1920’s original features and architecture was so damaged.
Wow! This place must have been incredible...I can only imagine the water views. I'd love to wake up, look out my window and see seals and whales! I love fireplaces, but most of them were extremely small and I can't imagine that they heated those rooms.
I know in Toronto, some really small fireplaces were used for coal. You would want to keep a coal fire small because it burns so hot!
@@pseudopetrus Thank you for the explanation. I've never been exposed to a coal fireplace, but it does make sense now.
Unbelievable senseless waste. What on earth influences someone (not just kids) to damage such a awesome home. Love this house, but the mindless damage done cannot be explained. Who are these losers? Thanks for another great EXPLORE .✨🌷🌞
Because parents today are idiots
Great video thanks for the pictures and fly around! Stay well be safe!
Thank you!
Wow! You manage to find some of the most spectacular properties. The buildings may be junk but the land and views are some of the best. Thank you. Keep up the great work 👍
What a beautiful place!!!! Thank you Brent!!!!
I always enjoy your videos no doubt about it!!🥂👍😊
Thank you!
It’s a shame to see all of those lead glass windows were all smashed those were irreplaceable
Thanks for sharin...kool intro tunes..tiny fireplaces for each small room..distribute heat...drone footage great, canoe starfish ..awesome...the ol black n white...great research..🐢🐘👽🦋🐒🌈
Beautiful property!! I’m sure it was an amazing home in it’s day. Thanks Brent for showing us this once grand home. Stay safe out there!!
Wow what a building great tour 👍👍👍👍
This was probably beautiful prior to the vandalizing. Thank you for showing us this once beautiful home.
Hi Brent
Nice drone footage.
I love drone footage and the scenery
Sad to see the house so vandalized/ Graffiti

I like to think it can and will be done.
@@JohnShinn1960 I hope also somebody his going to revive that place..fantastic location.

The view alone. House is definitely not fixable but man what a house it would have been. So peaceful...mad love for that property. Thank you Brent!🇺🇸😊
Oh, it's certainly fixable. Most of the damage is superficial. The question is, would someone with the means to restore it also have the desire.
Never been to B.C. ❤
So beautiful, one day i will.
Luv the music in beginning of your vids.
Thank you for the warning about all the bad graffiti. My son and I watch your videos together, but this once I think he can skip. What beautiful views!
Yes some children watch and some people will get offended so I like to give warnings. I don’t normally film places with graffiti
Stunning find great video.
What an absolute paradise that must have been in its day. So sad. Love the music you choose for the ending also!!!

OMG that shot at 20:16 - breath taking. Perfect.
Thank you for your way you explore, it's a different class of its own, that I don't see a lot of. It is thoroughly appreciated 👍👏
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoy my videos.
Thanks you my friend see you soon
must have been an awesome place in it's day and the view...wow!
WOW...it went from a loving home to a "Bought & Forgot" property...sad!..it must of been quite the place in it's day!!...the view is still breathtaking!!!..THUMBS UP!!

Brent I must tell you the scenery is spectacular and you are one brave man going into those abandoned houses👏🤗 be safe keep them coming 🤗👏👏💥💫🇵🇷
10 MILLION DOLLARS?!?! Haha, clearly I was bewildered 😂. This was a really fun explore, thanks again for letting me tag along. Glad our drones got along so well 😆. Loved the kayak footage with the seal at the end, too!
32 acres of waterfront near Victoria? The value has nothing to do with the house.
Wow what an incredible video!! Too bad it's so vandalized, I can only imagine what is was like back in its prime. You captured some beautiful scenery. I love this video.
I love your videos Brent! Even the if they have lots of graffiti. You just look past it & take in the beauty of the property. Thanks for sharing them & all the history. This 1 was huge!
Brent dude great video man you rock bro . We all wearing your t shirts here in the states.
Absolutely stunning thank u again for such a great explore
If you look beyond what there is, you can certainly see what there was. Absolutely beautiful spot. Thanks Brent!!
Thank you for doing this video! Everything around my area is destroyed by vandalism & the saddest thing is that someone allows these places to just deteriorate after purchasing them. I love using my imagination and seeing past all the junk because what it must’ve looked like…. it’s fun to imagine🥳😍
Absolutely beautiful property , too bad the house has been destroyed
That property is beautiful but the house has to go. I would replace it with a smaller cabin. I hope they don't turn it into a subdivision.
Nice place 👍🙂 Beautiful trees 🌲🌲🌲
Great find.
Unusual number of fireplaces.
Nice to see a before photo
Very clear filming..new camera?
Take care 🇨🇦❤️

Wow ! What a view !! Must have been a dream place to live in back in the days. Love your choice of music. See you on the next one 👍🇨🇦
Brent!!! My fave!!! Let’s go explore! 🥰🥰🥰
You’re a very good explorer. I thank you for your videos.
Great as always to see you on the explore. Hugs and cheers from South Texas!!
It's very sad to see that house in that state,imagine back in its day with all that land and by the sea
Thanks for explore Brent
Cool really enjoyed that one.
Stunning area. Such beauty. What a shame this place was destroyed. I saw the before pictures. So unique & I loved the art work that was there. Thanks Brent
Brent an amazing find so sad that it has been neglected. Bet it was beautiful in it's day. Thanks for sharing it with us
The parents of the kids who did this should be 100% ashamed of their children.

Such a shame it’s so trashed, people have no respect for another’s property!
Be a beautiful spot to live!
So sad to see it destroyed like that.
Wonderful footage of the scenery at the end! :)
Love this one so sad that it’s beyond repair
The view must be amazing on a clear day!
Seeing the lath and plaster walls sure tells you more about how old the house is! Too bad people are so destructive!
This was amazing!!
great explore Brent, what a beautiful place this must have been when it was "alive" and running, love all the fireplaces and that Elevator was awesome,,

Thanks so much Deborah!
The fireplaces in the bedrooms are so small, because they were more than ample to heat the room. Anything bigger would have been far too warm.
Really great huge old house. Views were probably great. A shame the overseas buyer did not save the house. Love the channel. So good to see you. 👍🏻😍

They are coal or coke fireplaces so don’t need to be big like those for wood.
@@sandyw4888 thank you
It must have been glorious at one time. I wasn’t crazy about the layout of the house. The view is gorgeous.
AHHH!The beautiful Nikki. Good Video Brent. What a mansion.
That's a strange house, black room, etc. Beautiful door hardware. This house seems a little spooky to me. Maybe it's just me.

It would take another ten million to get it back in shape. So sad to see it vandalized, I have never been able to understand why anyone would do that.
