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

I love that you sing peanut butter jelly time

You know how much stuff they prob moved out of this place. It looks like they had good money or for a while. That house is huge.

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

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

Why do people just abandon and split? Strange.

Me too!

😹😹😹😹

FCC

Thats not a 70,s couch. Im from the 70,s lol. But its a beautiful couch.

Me too!!! Have to wonder if they took their fortune and moved south.🤑

I totally agree

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.

Me too. We are so wasteful as a whole. These things really could have gone to a lot of people who could have used it. :(

@Prophetess Memory Matimbire what are you going on about??? Take that somewhere else

Exactly what I think! Besides make a killing

It's disgusting that they destroy homes that can be donated to the poor.. elderly..or just someone who it could change their life this world is crap...ppl are so hell-bent on making money than rescuing others..it's sad

@@jronny7764 also the time and effort that was put into building a house for it to be ramdonely destroyed is disappointing, not to say the least!

I know what's worse... using "irregardless“ like it's an actual word. Ugh.

@@andreawhite3009 its no big deal!!!

Some bank owns it so it sells it to make more money by making huge places for more people.

Because you can turn a profit on 20 something units over and above 16 million. Property is very expensive in Canada.

Its an INJUSTICE TO DESTROY MOST OF THESE MANSIONS!! THERE MUST BE PPL THAT WOULD WANT TO BUY AND FIX. ITS WRONG TO BASH DOWN.

Yes im sure mamy r forclosed ny banks. They r just about $$$$ Do if a developer gives them a good deal the may tear down or resell some house items. Ditch the rest. I guess banks just rather let mansiins sit and rot as when no heating ir pplnlivr there Houses Deterirate quickly. Banks dont want to rent re. Tennant abuse

@@sheilak3835 like I said it’s said to see out being torn to bones. When so much stuff could be used. It could be repurposed. That is what we have done one my home and daughters home . Recut granite reused lighting reused subway tiles and repainted cabinets used windows as open windows in the roof of bathroom

I think foreclosed on too

I agree 💯

And instead, there will be another cookie cutter, Edward Scissorhands tract home. Or five.

Ethan is. His name😍

@@deborahp6450 lol...opppps. voice text

Yes indeed absolutely i agree but what does Ethan know he was just a kid himself not roo lo ng ago and his parents probably spoiled him?!!

😄😄 funny

I agree. Some stuff can be very expensive

They leave stuff behind because they have to get the heck out of there! Unfortunately

Probably a divorce or hardship and just needed a speedy time to get all the important things out and ran out of time ⌚

@Prophetess Memory Matimbire God bless you also!

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 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.

@@MrsEJV thank you for sharing your perspective. I'm extraordinarily fortunate that I've not been forced into a situation where I have had to leave stuff. I also saw Bright Sun Films' video on this house and I know now that the most recent residents probably didn't have a place to move things to.

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???

@pastor jeremiah omoto fufeyin what you are putting here has nothing to do with this house. Please do your rant elsewhere.

at least it got a lot of love from the family :(

That's what I was thinking. I was wondering if the access to the pool was behind the closed doors in that room. Like maybe an indoor pool.

Thought same thing or simply a dungeon 🤷🏼‍♂️

Do you need money? I'll send you some!! Do you want me to send it by pp or bank?

@@justingrind1908 This isn't Anderson Cooper's home.

@@gavincurtis 😂😂

I was thinking the exact same thing! We’re adding a small morning bar/ kitchen at terrace level for guests and parties by our pool. Just pricing cabinets yesterday. One wall just lower cabinets good quality were 5K.

Yes,so true,basements are,sort of creepy

Real talk for sure!

Yea me too

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.

@@UmmYeahOk I agree it's a conspiracy

What are you talking about there are many people in Canada that have money to buy homes that size and larger what do you think everyone in Canada is poor 🤣😂🤣

@@chiefjetsonofflare5329 the average person can't afford $16,000,000 or half that amt.The banks are making shit loads consumer spending on the new "develpement projects"where as people normally cant afford esp during economic crisis... so people go bankrupt and are in debt no-one benefits not even the little guy. Theres no other explanation they don't want you to know this its obvious so you don't object.

Totally agree my OCD saying don't forget the windows too.

OCD that's normal?!! Esp when you have kids

I think they had too many kids

Lol, good story. Probably young couple who were given the house when the parents passed away and they went bankrupt

Or... maybe it was a couple of crooks and they got caught? LOL. Or... (hate to think this might be true) maybe the whole family was on a family vacation and they were involved in a deadly car crash which only left one parent alive. That could explain not needing lots of household items or kids stuffs.

Haunted?

Yes,a pretty house

I thought the same thing. It barely looks like it's worth even $1 million honestly. Not sure where the $16 million value comes in.

@@aquamarine0023 The land 🤷‍♀️

Me either, I think they spent the $16 mil on just doors alone.

The house is older then you think.so they must have put A lot of money into it!

30 acres of land. Its worth it

Yes,very beautiful,and a big house

@Prophetess Memory Matimbire How can you give the same, "prophecy," to every person? That's incorrect. It's False!!!! And the l in Lord should be capitalized.

What does Christmas and Jesus Christ have to do with it?!!

@@marylougeorge9890 because it’s spam she wants your money. Report it

@@deborahp6450 because Christmas decorations would be stunning in that room. And Jesus is my savior.

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

Waves of mutant pandemics may make future development difficult, because of population reductions. Nature doesn't recognize bottom line planning, only what's sustainable.

Hmm interesting

I agree with you they're too rich to think about anything else but they will have a day of reckoning !!!

How do you know they just moved they may of just lost the house still they could still donated stuff

@@fayecox9401 let me restate what I meant was that if they did it deliberately. I believe is what I meant. The owners probably had no choice but to leave it all behind because of eviction that sometimes happens

Let me restate there is going to be a day of reckoning that day will come to everyone

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.

Yes,your so right,and a,very,big house😊

@pastor jeremiah omoto fufeyin PLEASE STOP!

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

I agree with you too!

@@JoshG1234 because certain parts of the house look dated, all the furniture & electrical Items seems really old & worn too. I don’t see anything from today’s world

I don't think they left in a hurry. They clearly were spoiled and had more toys etc than they could ever need. I was hired to help a wealthy family move once. It was disgusting how much they had, the 3 car garage was knee deep in brand new athletic gear, Northface jackets, backpacks and the 4 kids and the parents couldn't be bothered looking through it. The whole house was like that. No organization and just buying and buying. The teens would just ask their mom for the credit card and she wouldnt even ask what for.

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.

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.

@@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🤣😂🤪

@@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.

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

I agree with you they're too rich to worry if any is watching them

right? too many doors too..i would think so many ways for someone to enter the house unbeknownst to the people in there,i like all the windows but in the bathrooms id have frosted glass or at least half way up lol

@@judithwilber2540 yes definately, or at least curtains or shutters. Don't need no peeping Tom?!!!

Out in the country you have the ultimaye privacy & dont have to worry about people looking at you all the time.

The whole house gave me a bad vibe, especially the basement and punishment rooms..

Yes indeed absolutely nothing wrong with the house from my perspective

I sort of agree; however....and my ex-wife pointed this out to me once, a big house can actually seem to be easier to keep clean, neat, and orderly, because a small house can and will look cluttered very easily if you're not right on top of it all the time, and really, I do see the validity in that sentiment.

Did you not notice all the children that lived there? I believe they used all that space to roam. Especially during the endlessly cold northern winters! 😊

People who say things like “nobody needs that much space” baffle me. Who the hell are you to determine what someone else does or doesn’t need? And why do people feel the need to tell others that they’ve determined and hereby proclaim such a thing? “Attention. Attention everyone... if I could please have everyone’s undivided attention for a moment... I must inform you you, so that everyone is aware that I am a far more intelligent, enlightened, and compassionate person than whomever the wasteful, greedy, environment destroying evil asshole capitalist was who lived in this giant ego fueled waste if space and construction materials which could have been used to build houses for several families who are do not enjoy the benefits of the privilege which these owners took full advantage of. (Owners who were white I’m sure. It’s so obvious. Ugh!). For all the space and materials and energy consumed by an excess like this is just shameful. If these people had any redeeming qualities at all, this terrible house wouldn’t even exist. The fact that some people would live in a place like this and be able to sleep at night knowing there are homeless and hungry people out there is just so selfish. Damn rich white people. I wonder how many people this person had to step on and make poor in order to become this rich. SMH. Ok, you may now return to what you are doing because that is all I have to say at this time. I’ll be just over here if anyone has any questions about the evils of capitalism, climate deniers, stupid republicans, white supremacy and why it’s so obviously the biggest threat to all of our lives each day, white privilege, why white people need to apologize and just shut up, why blacks people cant be racist, green energy, the oppressive nature of straight white Christian males, the continued oppression of women, the myth of women’s rights, normalization of toxic masculinity, male incompetence, the myth of the men’s rights movement, crushing the patriarchy... Yknow, any of the pillars of proven science and society.

It's probably a bankruptcy and foreclosure deal.

lol i was gonna tell him

@@willmeaney9302 IKR?! A house like that....you KNOW there's a pool....and every possible amenity to accompany it, too.

The pool was probably right outside the basement
