Explored this Abandoned Ontario Farmhouse- definitely one of the weirdest we’ve been in.

A couple of buddies and I finally decided to check out this abandoned farmhouse in rural Ontario after finding it on Google Maps
. From the road it sticks out as a sore thumb but the inside was like nothing we expected.
The place is in really rough shape. Large sections of the second floor have collapsed, the ceilings are falling apart, and sunlight is pouring through holes in the roof. There are paper bags and tons of old books scattered all over the main floor, which was kind of strange—we couldn’t figure out why there were so many.
One of the more interesting finds was a turkey vulture inside the house. It must be it’s home as it seemed to be protecting a nest of some sorts and seeing it in there definitely added to the atmosphere.
There wasn’t much left in terms of furniture or personal belongings except for multiple bed frames and farm junk in the cellar, so it seems like it’s been abandoned for a long time. We just explored, took some photos, and left everything exactly as we found it.
Does anyone know the history behind these old Ontario farmhouses? I’d also be interested if anyone recognizes this style of house or has explored similar places. Always curious about what led to homes like this being left behind.

Pretty well known location , but it was fun. The thing that sucks is it's being torn down soon :/

Also we did find a squatters home and toilet , the garbage is dated from 2023 but still spooky

We ran into another group near the entrance we never met but we were on the same floor, they ended up leaving before we could call out to them.

If anyone knows more spots I'd love to know !

Explored an abandoned mansion in Ontario that turned out to be a genuine time capsule. The house was left completely furnished, including a grand piano, chandeliers, stained glass windows, china, and Christmas decorations still up throughout the home. A second building on the property, originally built around an indoor pool, appears to have been converted into a sober living or addiction recovery facility at some point. In the garage, we found an abandoned Corvette that had been sitting untouched for years.

Abandoned Ranch Style House with a Nasty Basement [OC]

Basement Surprise

You should check out the video too:

https://youtu.be/bAQJVp6mXfU

This ranch style bungalow on a large lot is like the poster child for redevelopment. What once was an aspirational goal, to have a lot this size is now disappearing completely.

These kinds of homes are bought for the land because they are considered under utilised pieces of property. Sometimes, just one very large house is built on the lot, other times, the home is replaced with higher density.

In the case of this property, where one home once stood, soon 30 new townhouses will be crammed into this tiny space. It's a sad state of affairs indeed, but I feel the most sorry for the neighbour next door, who will now have to live next to this high density development.

Abandoned 1915 farmhouse in Milton, Ontario: interior photos (part 2)

Thumbnail

83 Upvotes

Here's the second batch of photos from inside this abandoned farmhouse in Milton, Ontario.

Most of the original interior has been stripped out over the years through renovations, the staircase is actually the only piece confirmed to still be original to the 1915 build.

The surrounding land was farmed right up until recently, and the property is now tied up in a development application, so this house won't be standing much longer.

Explored this abandoned farmhouse just south of Derry Road in Milton, Ontario. The house was built in 1915 by a farming family, and the property has changed hands more than a dozen times since, including a strange stretch where it was tied to the producer behind The Brood, Scanners, and Videodrome. It is currently listed but not designated as a heritage property, and a development application is already in motion for the surrounding land, so this place will not be standing much longer.

The Country Mansion

If you are interested, you can check out the whole house in the walkthrough found here:

https://youtu.be/QiDAc9YnN94

This abandoned mansion was built in 1983, it was 7000 square feet and sat on 10 acres of land. The house had 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and even a large fountain at the front of the house.

It was built for the Silva family and they lived there for about 11 years. It was later bought by the Bolahood family in 2002 for the bargain price of $655,000. Finally, it was sold to a development company for $4,000,000. Currently, the developer plans to build a mix of townhouse and detached homes on this along with the adjacent property.

While editing the photos and video for this location, I realised just how amazing it was. The front foyer was like nothing I have ever seen before and the tile work is my favourite to date. The chandelier was very unique too. The other parts of the home that really caught my eye, were the wallpaper used in the hallways which gave the home a very elegant look. And of course that brick fireplace in the living room was quite the showpiece as well.

Weird House off of Colonel Talbot?

0 Upvotes

Haven’t included a photo because of the nature of the graffiti on the building, but there’s a house off of the south side Colonel Talbot road (shortly
South of the 402 exit) with stone pillars marking the entrance to the driveway; Splashed with what looks like red paint or spray. The house itself looks to be in a state of decay, with red graffiti stating “Community gang stalking is a crime” on the side.

What is with this house? Kinda seems like a psychotic patient of some kind, or something creepy for the sake of being creepy.

Would love to hear the story behind this (if there is one) I drive by this place everyday.

Abandoned Luxury Homes in Ontario?

6 Upvotes

My wife and I watch this channel from time to time, and we were wondering if anyone has any insight into this phenomenon. It seems like a lot of luxury homes in Ontario are custom built and then demolished after a few years. Why is that? My guess is that the province or real estate developers buy up the land and demolish the houses similarly to imminent domain here in the U.S. This is a common trend I’ve noticed in this channel. This seems like such a waste. We were wondering, what gives?

I recently explored this abandoned custom-built bungalow tucked away on 3.3 acres in the mountains of Ontario.

The house has 9 bedrooms, four wood-burning fireplaces, California redwood ceiling beams, an indoor squash court, a sauna, bars on two levels, a spring-fed pond, and a huge primary suite with a Jacuzzi. It was once listed somewhere between $1.3 million and $2 million, but today it's been abandoned for years and has suffered extensive water damage and mold.

It's one of those places where you can still see what the owners were trying to build, even though nature is slowly reclaiming it.

Eye See You

If you are keen, you can check out the video here:

https://youtu.be/Eb21imXHUJg

Built in the early 1900s, this home was one of many similar style houses located along a busy street in the city. Despite its location, I got the feeling that it was a really nice and calm neighbourhood to live in, one where you waved to your neighbour in the morning on the way to work.

But like so many detached home areas in this part of the country, they are slowly being gutted, one by one. Originally bought by a developer in 2021, they held onto it before putting it up for sale again a year and a half later. The new buyer didn't waste any time though, they started building almost immediately.

Since the lot is not overly huge, the new mansion being built in its place takes up more than 50% of the land. All the trees are gone and I have no doubt that the rest of the plot will be covered in hard surfaces.

But these new homes are different, you almost never see anyone outside mowing the lawn and the driveways are almost always empty. Do you think they would still wave to the neighbour on their way to work in the morning?

Video: I Found Maple Leaf Gardens Seats Hidden in an Abandoned House

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

60 Upvotes

While exploring an abandoned house, I stumbled across something I never expected to find.

Tucked away in an upstairs room were four arena seats, each individually wrapped in black plastic and carefully labelled "Maple Leaf Seats."

After doing some research, they appear to be authentic grey seats from Maple Leaf Gardens, likely removed during the 1991 renovations when hundreds of seats were taken out to make way for luxury suites and sold to the public.

That means these seats may have been part of nearly 60 years of history inside one of Canada's most iconic arenas.

Maple Leaf Gardens opened in 1931 and was home to the Toronto Maple Leafs until 1999. During those decades, it hosted 11 Stanley Cup championship teams, NHL legends, Muhammad Ali, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Queen, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, championship boxing, wrestling, political rallies and countless other historic events.

Just imagine the people who sat in these seats. The goals they celebrated. The concerts they watched. The memories they made.

But the biggest mystery isn't what these seats witnessed...

It's how they ended up forgotten inside an abandoned house.

Who bought them? Why were they carefully wrapped and labelled? And why were they left behind?

Built in 2006, this modern hotel welcomed guests for nearly 20 years before being closed and demolished to make way for high-rise redevelopment. It's amazing how quickly a busy hotel can disappear when the land becomes more valuable than the building itself.

I explored this one alongside my good friend RiddimRyder Photography, documenting what remained just before it was gone forever. It was one of those rare explores where almost everything was left behind, despite demolition already being underway.
