That's such a lovely spot for a home too, right next to the cliffside, nice looking location to live at. Now I only need $38 million.

I'd be worried about it falling into the ocean

I'd always worried that raising a family or something in a cliff side home like this would be terrifying. Children hurt themselves in property on flat land in the middle of nowhere, for christssakes, nevermind at this place with its 3 story drop to jagged rocks and freezing water.

You'd probably have a heart attack around vancouver then, there's houses all around the islands over the edge of the cliffs being supported by beams :v:

House probably isnt up to code anymore anyway. A lot has changed since the 60's

If I was rich out of my mind I'd buy it and live in it as is. No need to raze it.

Even though this is a mansion it's from the fucking 60's. Pretty much everything about it is old a shitty. It'd honestly would be better to just tear the fucker down and build a new one.

Still, I gotta laugh at how our second most expensive home in Canada is some 50 year old POS.

Ahaha, even the article says the house is worthless and you're basically paying for the land.

The shitty part is they are using the house to inflate the price over six times the value.

Wow, it'd be like stepping back in time to 1964.

I wanna see interior photos.

Not exactly a child-safe home, but man is it pretty.
