The Biggest House in BC only 3.4 Million Dollars!!!
 
Photos: Enormous $3.488M Abbotsford mansion
Enormous $3.488M Abbotsford super mansion
The mansion at 29488 58th Ave. in Abbotsford spans a whopping 44,340 sq ft and includes nine bedrooms and eight bathrooms.

The same house in Vancouver's overbloated market would cost $100+M guaranteed. Granted its in Abottsford. Nicklebacks Chad Kroeger and Avril Lavigne also live Abottsford.

I would build a super garage to store my Porsches. BRB don't have to worry about bumper to bumper traffic, just minutes to USA border, have massive kray parties 24/7, 30 minute drive to Vancouver via HWY1

Re post and the interior is sh/t. One of the rooms has artificial turf and lawn furniture if I remember correct.


Edit: Looks like it's more finished now.

sorry bro, but if im dropping $4 million on a house i want my neighbors to be 10 feet away from me so they can see all the cool shit i can afford #swag #revscene #shitdhillon09says #BCRDUKES2016 #RVG

Timpo 06-05-2014 02:28 PM

are you sure that's the most expensive? Just by doing quick research...there are tons more expensive houses in Victoria.

Even condos are $2,795,000

Luxury Victoria BC Real Estate , Vancouver Island Real Estate

Timpo 06-05-2014 02:29 PM

oh wait, you said biggest house in BC...

If you got 3.48 million for a house I don't think you'll be worried about property taxes.... Or that who's gonna clean it...

Timpo 06-05-2014 02:31 PM

the maintenance on that house would be outrageous.

Manic! 06-05-2014 02:33 PM

RS group buy?

We could rent it out for 40 to 60 grand a week.

10 bedrooms would sleep 20 people. 2 to 3 grand for a week at your own private race track would be a bargain.

Probably why it appears to have zero maintenance done on it. It's an almost run-down, old house. I'd imagine anyone that picks it up would have to spend another half to million in renovations.

These bitches better see my custom La Marzocco Linea like it's going out of style! :accepted:

Quit taking pics of my house you creepers

PeanutButter 06-05-2014 03:25 PM

Who would even think to buy this house? I would rather just buy land and build brand new custom house for $4 million. Land for <$1 Million in Abby would still get me at least a few acres, and then custom a house for <$3 Million.

BTW, 30min drive to Vancouver? You think you're a stone cutter or something OP?

30 minutes from this place to Vancouver is very doable, especially with all the new Hwy1 upgrades now in place.



I used to drive by this place all the time on my way to Mission Raceway. Looked like it was constantly under construction by all the crap that was always outside in the front lawn. Oh, and if I remember correctly, there's also an underground tunnel that leads from the house down to the pool.


Still wouldn't buy it, though. :lol

radioman 06-05-2014 03:49 PM

He probably has access to the secret underground hwy us peasants don't get to use.

Do you really think they were spending 5 years adding 1 lane to hwy 1? :fuckthatshit:

12.5M in 2005 to 9.9M in 2006 down to 3.4M in 2014.. that's crazy! I wonder how much was actually invested in this property and how much the family (if they are still current owners) stands to lose...

Location, location, location!

Every property in S Surrey / White Rock has pretty much doubled or better in value in the same timeframe. I know someone who purchased in 2004 for 350k, her latest assessment was 910k and she hasn't done any renos or anything...

fliptuner 06-05-2014 04:20 PM

Even at 75¢/sqft, no thanks

100Million in Vancouver? Haven't you learned yet property values in Vancouver are not based on the house, but the property. A few chunks of land to rest the house on doesn't quite equal 100 million.

Sorry, but I much rather live in the 2nd house/link.
