This house was built in 1977 and features 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The house is situated in an area of Ontario known for luxury homes. The house had a series of short-term ownerships. By 2011 it was being lived in by a Mr. Mark V. H. <br /><br />In 2012 the house was sold for $1,500,000. Then just three years later in 2015, it sold for $1,950,000. The house was then vacated between 2016 and 2019 and the owner attempted to rent out the property. By 2019 the property was falling into disrepair. Finally, in April of 2023 it was purchased for $3 million (I believe) by a Stephanie Saccoccia.<br /><br />https://www.talkingwallsphoto.com/abandoned-ontario-mansions/wheres-the-casino/<br /><br />#abandonedplaces #ontarioabandonedplaces #ontario #explore #urbex
A quick walk through of a rural farm house. Next to the house was a barn with horses and what I believe were sheep.
This was the home of Melville who was born in 1906. He married a woman named Ruth, also born in 1906 and together they raised six children: J., G., R., G., V. and V. The family were Jehovah's Witnesses which is evident in the 35 mm slide photos. The photos, taken in 1972, show an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses which likely saw members from around the world attend.<br /><br />Melville passed away in 1980, and Ruth passed away in 1970. Shortly after Melville passed away, the house was transferred to one of the sons. The son would have been about 41 when he inherited the house from his father. Interestingly enough, there was another house title transfer in 2006 but with the same names on the title.<br /><br />https://www.talkingwallsphoto.com/houses/ball-cap-house/<br /><br />#abandonedplaces #ontarioabandonedplaces #timecapsule #urbanexploration
Urban exploring is not the same as abandoned. This property is real estate, nothing more.<br /><br />Also I introduce you to my finger which felt it necessary to be present in part of the video.
This property was purchased in 2015 by a couple looking for an investment property. They’d originally been renting the garage to use as a workshop area. Three years after renting, the owners asked the couple if they’d be interested in purchasing the full property. The couple agreed. They undertook renovations to the house and rented it out to two families. (There are actually three properties on the property, all of which were explorable)<br /><br />In October of 2021, the Ministry of Transportation approached the couple and made on offer on the property. The MTO was looking to build a bypass and in order to do so, have to take ownership of five properties along the current highway.<br /><br />The couple felt that the offer was well below the market value of the land and refused it. Because an agreement could not be reached between the ministry and property owners, the ministry notified them that they intended to expropriate the property under the Expropriations Act.<br /><br />The couple hired a lawyer, who informed them that it could be up to a year before any progress was made on the expropriation. While they were not against the building of the highway, they wished they were given more notice and fair compensation for the home they worked so hard to obtain and maintain.<br /><br />In January of 2022, they received a registered letter informing them that they had 90 days to vacate the property. They asked the MTO for an extension in order that they could find a new property and take their tenants with them. The MTO refused.<br /><br />As of May 2022, the couple no longer owns the property and they continue to negotiate a buy and sell agreement with the MTO. Protests against the bypass have sprung up on social media including a Facebook page.<br /><br />Thanks to @RP_Explorations for sharing his find with me.

Note: I had video stabilization turned off, and I'm sorry for the poor quality.<br /><br />In this video, I explore a 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom house in a growing area of Toronto. There is so much expansion taking place in this area. The owner plans to build a new home on the property.<br /><br />#abandonedplaces #ontarioabandonedplaces #urbex
In this video I return to a location that I last visited back in 2015. There was some water damage and broken glass, but otherwise the house was very much the same.<br /><br />The video could use some stabilization.<br /><br />https://www.talkingwallsphoto.com/houses/country-living-house-2023/<br /><br />#ontarioabandonedplaces #abandonedplaces
