Such a weird property for that area.

My family live in Gibsons/Langdale/Roberts Creek so I've been going out there since I was a kid, that house does not "fit" in with any of the type of houses you'd normally see on the coast.

Curious who the original owner/builder was.

Based on the Google results of the address, it sounds like it. The Engrish site hits all talk about "taking offers" on what you can do with the property.

The Facebook hit has pictures of who I assume to be Yang or Jin with Trudeau and Christy Clark.

I think that's exactly what it is. They picked up the language from other locals who used it openly back then, without realizing the harm it inflicts. For sure their adult children were always apologetic about it and tried to tell their dad that using racial slurs is not acceptable, and you could tell they were embarrassed by it. Regardless, they were some of the best neighbours we ever had. I can't say the same about our Chinese neighbours.

This probably explains why I used to call my dad a faggot, way back in the day.

Judge tries to untangle Sunshine Coast “castle” conflict

In June 2015, Yang incorporated another company, North American Sunshine Tourism Co., and gave Jin a memo listing a multitude of business ventures that would require up to 16 government approvals, including dividing the land to build five “super large houses,” producing mineral water for export to China, processing sawdust, obtaining casino licences and rental of “Indian land,” purchase of yachts and buses and the manufacture and assembly of helicopters and yachts.

Seems like a great spot for the Revscene clubhouse. Gut the bottom floor. All garage space. Somehow build a racetrack on the 61 acres.

You don't have to mow if you cut down all the trees and built a track

If you could fix that for 2 to 3 mill it would be a steal. It originally was on sale for 10 mill and that was more than 10 years ago.

Asking prices don't mean anything. It last sold for $6.6M 10 years ago.

Something like that that’s been sitting forever you don’t even know where to start in it’s rehabilitation

The last thing you want to do is start finishing up rooms and then a water pipe bursts etc. almost needs a gut if it’s been sitting with zero maintenance for 10 years

But if it sold for 6.6 mill 10 years ago it has to be worth more now fixed up. I think you would have to take this down to the studs.

I'm hearing that the house has an exempted offer and will go for over 4 mill.

So many foreclosures listings. I can't remember the last time I've seen so many locally.

Here's another one in Surrey...

13906 35A AVENUE
Surrey BC
$3,998,000

How do they have list price if it's foreclosure? I thought it's at the courts with the highest bid and cash only
