In the middle of a very expensive neighborhood where all of the houses are heavily secured by high fences and multiple security cameras, the eager Urban Explorer will find this Abandoned Mansion. Surrounded by high fence and well watched by homes on either side and across the street, also occasionally watched by a security firm.
In 2016 this house was valued at over $4 Million dollars and is owned by a foreign country who is exempt from paying property taxes in Canada. My research indicates that this abandoned mansion was left vacant in 2011 at the very latest.
The country who owns it has not had an ambassador to Canada in several years, hence the abandoned state of the home. Also, this country is unable to come up with the funds to pay for the repairs needed.
The last ambassador to reside here actually left the house to live in his embassy because of extensive water damage that had consumed much of the house.
Thanks to Trespassing Wayfarer for the goods on this one!
Last week I drove by what I thought was an abandoned mansion in an extremely expensive neighborhood. You've inspired me to go check it out! Beautiful shots man.
Very interesting!... once again reinforcing that there really is no such thing as a neighbourhood, social class, geographical area or zoning type where something cannot be found abandoned. Nice front foyer.
I'm a supporter of gay rights. & not a closet supporter either. From the time I was a kid, I've never been able to understand attacks upon the gay community. There are so many qualities that make up a human being. By the time I get through with all the things that I really admire about people, what they do with their private parts is probably so low on the list that it is irrelevant. - Paul Newman

Thank you sir, most of the house was pretty trashed, but yes that foyer was great!! You would never have suspected there to be a house like this in this neighborhood. I have one on my list to scout in a local neighborhood even more scale than this one!
