 Overview
 Description
Large unfinished resort perched high on a cliff overlooking a small river. Contained with the Sooke Potholes Provincial Park. Massive timber framing and stonework are all that ever got finished. Basement was full of little rooms, almost like a stable, but seemed very creepy. Lots of stone paths and stairs to take you down to the river and to a small waterfall.

     History
    I wish I could remember more. Anyone who sees this and knows more, please feel free to add to this location info.

    Seems it was started by a Chinese developer sometime in the 80s, maybe 1985 if my memory works. He ran out of money and thus the building stopped. The area began to be taken over by squatters and strange hippies living in the woods. Last I heard it had been torn down.
