What a beautiful place!!!! Are you going to make the improvements and sell??? Be great take all you do not need and auction or gift for charity You are a GOD BLESSED man. I hope you will send a letter to the couple thanking them for the privilege, and the great workmanship of the property. You have to admire all that was done.❤🛐

It is so funny that you said it was like you were in the Twilight Zone because that was my first thought as you did this walk through; it is as if time completely stopped with the exception of the lone wasp dauber. You can tell this was a well-loved home so it is very sad that it was just left standing in it's perfection waiting for her owners to return. THANKFULLY, God has truly blessed you and the property for being united since you APPRECIATE the workmanship and care that was done and will honor it, I believe, by preserving what you can and updating what needs to be done. Anyway, you have found a diamond here and I can tell you know it. Good luck and I can't wait to see more! P.S. Did this property have somebody doing maintenance for the past 10 years? There isn't an ounce of dust or spider webs even in the sheds so unless ya'll did the initial clean up before shooting this video they HAD to have someone, right? If not, that's getting a little on the creepy/unusual side LOL.

Most important to know: how much you paid for it? Just in comparison to other places that we might watched else where. And in general, good to know prices. If it's not hard, thank you.

The only reason I asked about the body of water. I like to look up what species of fish are found in certain places.And is there any chance we could see the path that the former owner built thru the marsh land. That guy must have been a engineer.

@@yugeenlighroff430 its phenomenal.. Price is what I'd like to see, too. 🙌

plus they help prevent erosion.

I agree. Trees are nature and I love nature. Trees break the wind, provide shade and privacy.....Trees are wonderful 😀

They obviously loved nature. Such a loss this must have been for that family

Trees are living beings, and our best hope for a livable planet. Every tree that is cut down should be felled very reluctantly.

I can’t watch this channel, unfortunately, because of the cavalier attitude re cutting trees. It’s clear the original owners had a keen appreciation for the environment, and summered in NS because of the respect they had for the landscape. It must be heartbreaking for them to see someone drive in talking about the “logs” and all the trees they’re going to cut down.

Thinking the same thing. We only have 12 acres with a log home, my husband was sick over the summer and it was all I could do to keep up with it. Scary

We don't know about their lives in Switzerland....can only imagine

@@anyat8115 likely pretty luxurious there as well.

We really never own anything we just occupy til it’s time for others to come along and enjoy what God has made,and the ones before us have cared for.

Ok. What did you pay for it? Sorry had to ask it’s breathtaking

God be with you I have lost so many in the last two years that it sometimes feels like there are no rainbows left, but I know His promise is within one so there must be.

You’re so right! I think of the song “Don’t blink” by Kenny Chesney! “Just like that you’re 6 years old and you take nap…”😭😭😭

That's all I could think of, all the serious beautiful wood working... I just felt so sad that this was the deep end of somebody's dreams.

Hang in there! As humans we adapt! Adapt but never forget ur Husband....

Wow...that's great...I think these previous couple put so much effort and love to this property ..Its like paradise and nice place to do camping site..I think you can open this to public and welcoming them with a huge love and embrace the beauty of nature especially the view of the lake and timber land ...Yes you can cut down some other trees that obstruct the beauty of the sunrise and sunset ....Its a huge property but nevertheless you can appreciate the beauty if many trees were cutting down beside the lake ...Those previous owner are very rich people too and inverted thier money in the tools ..They are very lenient people and very private person..I can feel that they are very down to earth people so to speak..but now the transformation starting with you dear ..You are very active and hardworking person too...I can say that ypy will turn this hidden gem into a flourishing well manicure landscaping view of this hidden gem a beautiful paradise to share to your beloved one. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS...SO enjoying to tour your beautiful newly acquired haven...Love it

Wow on comments we all Use Beautiful & Paradise!!

Guard your health. Money means nothing without health.

Me too

Awesomely exciting find! I don't know the history of the owners, why they left, but what a privileged and abundant life they left behind. Days will fly by quickly in this life, then comes the day we step into life everlasting. Where will we spend eternity when we take our last breath, where will be the final journey of all journeys? Trust in Christ today, God loves you and sent His Son to make a way. Seek God with a contrite heart. Ask forgiveness for every sin past present and future. Accept Christ's finished work on the cross for your sin payment. Ask Christ to be your Lord and Savior. He is the Good Shepherd who gave His life for His sheep. He is the Lamb of God who shed His precious Blood for us. He is also our Passover Lamb. Loved this video! Dreamy boardwalk! Great earthly find, thanks so much for sharing!

Exactly how I was feeling. They obviously loved that place and spent a lot of time there.It reminds me of clearing out my Dad's garage after he died. Such an overwhelming feeling to find his tools where he put them down and never picked them up again.

But look where it is now I can imagine why they left everything Look out the window saw Bigfoot and fled

I would love to know the history on this family too!

They won my respect. I hope you will get your new home, Pam.

Same here also he looks so smart. Hi Pam how are you doing with your family I do hope you’re safe from the virus?

You acquired a real treasure there, Thank you for sharing it with us. Who ever own it certainly had not only imagination but an artistic feeling to put into each corner of this amazing property. I agree with some of the suggestions made to you about not taking down trees except for those that are dangerous for the house. It is absolutely beautiful to view the lake through trees and greens. Please keep posted more videos. Congratulations, you have an amazing property there!!! blessings

Same here , greats from the Netherlands .

Metoo gut renching

I agree 100% ; well stated.

Was magical till he cit it to hell

Isn't that so true? So much effort into a thing, and whether the next generation loves it or not can be completely heartbreaking or entirely justifying. I've found that my children dont always love all the projects and efforts I thought were worthwhile and deserving of effort ~ and as a grandma looking back, I have to say that I'm grateful I invested mostly in my children, the projects and hobbies aside. Yes, I put hours and hours into that quilt or that doll restoration, those baby clothes....but I put decades and decades into those children and grandchildren. All I can do is hope that they will enjoy the things I put the hours into, and love what I put decades into. Different perspectives when we're older....lol... I,too, am impressed that the original owners gave up this obvious work of a lifetime for someone else to love and make memories with. If the older couple had children, it's really quite sad that the children don't want it or can't afford it, but at least here now is a young man who may raise a family up on the property and will enjoy it. Sigh.....isnt that how it works, though? The next generation always stands on the backs of their forebears, to help them get a little further along the path. It's what we did, as well. 😔😊

My husband and I built up a 40 acre homestead in Arkansas back in the 80' s, so I feel like I have a good appreçation for what this guy has bought. The amount of money in tools and appliances alone boggles my mind. Plus the cost of building roads, and all outside work, is incredible.. and the generator!!! I just want to know how much it cost?!😳😳

@@servraghgiorsal7382 are you still in Arkansas. I live in southwest Arkansas and I love it..

I find it hard to believe its been empty ten years...hope there are no surprises ....like people coming to holiday in the summer 😀😀😀

Same here his channel are so interesting. Hi Betty how are you doing with your family I do hope you’re safe from the virus?

It would be really nice to find out if the couple had further plans for the property. Was there something more with the over water walkway?

They disappeared....

I’m sitting here watching this and just heartbroken and full of tears over this story. It’s so sad to see what appears to be an older couples life, obvious hard work, labor and history of memories just left. Especially due to health problems. As you look at all the details of the property, builds, buildings, interior and exterior as well as items there…….knowing that he is in bad health and she has obviously chosen HIM and HIS SIDE as opposed to everything they have had and created together……literally MOVES me beyond measure! I’m sorry guys but I’m broken over this! I literally want to meet this couple and just witness this amount of dedication and LOVE! THIS is a reminder of what love is suppose to be about. I am so glad this property came to y’all instead of people who would NOT be appreciative of its true value!

@@lesmarbro619 However, another viewpoint could be: they had no children, and they thoroughly enjoyed all of the time that they spent on the property. Maybe it was their labor that built the place and walks/walkways, or more than likely they hired to have it done. If this was a weekend place, you don't know what their weekday place(s) are like. Take a hint that they left everything behind, which should tell you that they were not scraping for cash. Time not spent on selling 'small' pieces was better spent doing something else. I'm glad to know that they accomplished with it what they intended.

Or that's the story they told but they were running some type of backwoods trafficking rest stop???

@@bobblack3870 If they hired to have all the work done there would be no need for the sheds full of every tool imaginable. Hired help use their own tools.

Keep it off-grid, I completely agree.

Yes keep it off grid. It is sad that a person buys just to change things and make a ton of money off it when they resale. If this was put on you tube in the beginning people would of fought to buy and live there as is this is just what I have been looking for. But like a neighbor fixed up a house sold it for a big profit and the new owners are tearing the inside up and doing it how they want it. The way it sounds you plan on making a huge profit and that is why the banks won't give out that kind of money for off grid some people do have the money for off grid.

@@pattymccarthy5169 if I buy it it’s mine and I’ll do what I please with it and it’s nobody’s business unless they want to chip in on the bills I work in construction and most of the time the first thing folks do when they buy a house is change things that is how they start to make it a home of their own

Me too. Beautiful. Poor guy worked his butt off every single day of his life. I just hope he took some time to rest and enjoy it.

So true how our live is just a quick journey and not a destination! Hang in there an try to stay Positive! Hey at least now a days we can look at places like this even though we won't ever have a chance to live in one!! God bless or what ever u may believe in..Smile !

How much did this place sell for and was it in foreclosure that they just walked away this was a fantastic buy

What a beautiful home,prayers for the people who built it.

So true

Just thin em out . I was justvthinking how terrible the dang BANK got all that money for the lovely home he built so beautifully.

Yes they do.

All tree huggers unite! Cut down the old and useless trees to allow for new growth. The old trees have served their purpose, the roots have held the shoreline together and weathered many storms. There comes a time to replace them. Young trees grow and provide far more than an old and dying tree can do. Understand the cycle of life. Yes, I cut down trees for a living. I also plant new trees

Yes the trees need to stay they were there first!

​@@meporter69Yes a "lumberjack and i don't care" around our way they have the "audacity" to call themselves "Tree surgeon's" what a gas? Lumberjack mate keep it simple chopping down tree's is what you enjoy doing same as those in demolition

Yes. I cringed when he talked about taking down those trees. It looks better with the trees in my opinion, unless they are dead or dying.

Not only for the monetary value but for the legacy and life a mature tree symbolizes. Ten saplings cannot sustain the life that one mature tree can.

Like having old structures (boathouse) right on the lakefront and grandfathered so no set backs or DNR? I too have been on this rock for the last 60 years and grew up on a lake in central Minnesota. Lol. I totally agree with you on limiting the tree removal in and around the yard. He should mill some of the logs that will be removed to facilitate the road improvements. Will help keep the material cost down for the deck repair project. I wonder how regulated they are on lakefronts in Nova Svotia.

I live in Minnesota too, I'm almost 60 and to hear him call the trees "logs" was disheartening.

@@karynagibson05 Agreed. I was saying to myself...logs? What? Those are trees not logs. He's looking at it as purely a money maker.

Thank you very much

@@workplaytv how do you find abandoned properties, are you just looking around on roads and talking to different people? Is there a technique here? How are you defining "abandoned?"

indeed :)

Prime fishing spot too.

@@colingallagher4848 yeah wanna know too

Chances are real good that those photos are there on a shelf or in a photo tote. Everything else is there. It wouldn't surprise me.

Nice letter. Watch his second vid about it. He answers many Q.s .

Agree

Agree….it needs cleaning up but I am sure he will honour the owners vision and hard work….I am gobsmacked. I bought a run down farm…good inside but roof leaked, the house wobbled in high winds ( now re-stumped) and all I found were horse rugs, builders ladders and an old nail bag overgrown with grass among other worthless items😯

Thank you very much! Here is Bobby the previous owner. Yes, it is sad, but live goes on. Look what we do now. Visit KZfaq: Marisa and Bobby / Clonmoylan Aviaries

It is like he died, this guy, and went to heaven.

This property is truly PARADISE! Rustic living at it's finest. 🙂 I love it as well.

you lucky dog......how much did you pay you got one hell of a good deal.... i want this .

It would be my dream house. Especially the land

I have a feeling it will soon be unrecognizable - and not in a good way. 😢

Don't think he intends to keep it.

@@limboigah damn shame... that is one I wish I had the money for

Not given

I understand you paid for it of course. It is still a treasurer for sure. @@workplaytv

Someone has been taking care of this property at least monthly. It is not what I would consider abandoned . The owners might resent that statement 🤔 .

@@judygillespie3242 hi Judy’s I feel same thing about this home. How are you doing with your family?

your great grand kids will love it keep it forever !!!!

Did he say about how much he paid for it? I came to look and see through the house. Beautiful 😍

Prayers for the Swiss couple!!!!

It kills me to see unoccupied homes, such as are in the rust belt, broken into and maliciously destroyed and stripped of its' useful material. This video is like an incredible dream come true. The Swiss couple had to have loads of money, but my heart breaks for them. I would love to hear their full story.

Yes, it made me feel sad for the people who had to leave it all - I hope they're okay.

@@johnprior588 As a 76 year old (which still shocks me when I say it, as it sneaked up on me), I think they got their enjoyment in creating this little bit of heaven. They know they are now too old to even maintain it. They are happy that buyer will treasure it too.

I felt so much in love with this channel, hi Kathy how are you doing with your family I do hope you’re safe from the virus?

I'd suggest that you film this landholding and send him either the video or the photos. It obviously took tremendous effort to build, plus pride! Please show these folks your appreciation with photos and a thank you!

@KMAC Radio it very sad but what i dont get is why did they leave everything behind i wonder

Thank you very much! Bobby here, the previous owner. Look what we do now. Visit KZfaq: Marisa and Bobby / Clonmoylan Aviaries

Nova Scotia

Yes I think he would be so happy

Abandoned rather then rented?

Same here, hi there how are you doing with your family I do hope you’re safe from the virus?

Swedish that came to Canada I think he said.

@@cindywhalen5768 In the beginning he said Switzerland at about 04:07 and some time later at the spices he said they are written in the Swiss language, I saw German words there, so I guess they were from the German speaking part of Switzerland.

Underscores the old adage, "Ya can't take it with you."

@@01splitpea Oh, but you can! Many of these same people demand to be buried with "it"...thus the perfect opportunity for grave robbers!

I watch Explomo as well, & have often wondered the same thing....its nice to see a property actually get a chance to come back to life.

It needs no restoring. It's in greaT shape!

I was having the same reaction. While I'm happy for you @workplaytv, and amazed that you found this incredible investment opportunity, I am deeply sadened thinking about the circumstances in which this property was abandoned. I can only assume these people are no longer alive, and I'm left wondering if there were no other people in their lives that would have inherited this property from them. This has all the signs that these people went out one day with every intention of returning, but didn't for whatever reason. The thought of that is ripping me apart right now.

They left behind all the things ........I can imagin they must lived with compassionaly sightsee and beautiful of life ......it's so sad they all left those properties thank you for sharing this .

I was especially struck by how compatible this couple had to be; their primary residence was in Switzerland so I imagine they visited this property for weeks or months at a time. Being this isolated with one other person would require real peace with themselves and each other and a tremendous amount of respect. It wouldn't matter how much you loved your other, love alone wouldn't be enough.

Me too.

Me too. Feel like crying. So sad. But such tender loving care went into this home. Just amazingly beautiful place. Like an over grown doll house . Wonder what their home looks like that they live in now? Sweden is a beautiful country & think their home is equally beautiful. Prayers for their health 🙏💕🙏

Beautiful home would love to live there

Thank you very much! Here is Bobby the previous owner. Look what we do now. Visit KZfaq: Marisa and Bobby / Clonmoylan Aviaries

@@birdwoman.Birdman such a beautiful home. What types of flowers grew in the beautiful flower boxes? Good to know you both are well and communicating with the new owner!

@@birdwoman.Birdman o

How do you find abandoned property...tax sale..etc. Beautiful!!

I'd heard of Swiss people being meticulous perfectionists but that walkway alone boggles the mind !

Same here, hi Cindy how are you doing with your family I do hope you’re safe from the virus?

He doesn't appreciate the trees between the house and the lake.

@@brianpeck4035 I think he has plenty of trees and as he stated, some limbs are in the way. He needs to cut any that have the potential of falling on the house or outbuildings.

@@brianpeck4035 Well, when I see trees like that I think they look nice but I see a fire hazard. If One needs a buffer around the homestead when in that many trees. Some fool starts a fire and the whole place is gone.

My sentiments exactly.

@@brianpeck4035 Fire protection...

Property isn't easily accessible, otherwise, it might've been vandalized, but somehow I doubt it. Canadians just seem more respectful of people and property.

Agree, trees hold the land TOGETHER FOR SURE!!! My neice and her family luve un Flagstaff, AZ and it had another huge fire that wiped out many trees...last month Monsoon came resulted in HEAVY FLOWING, RAGING WATER WITH DEBRIS into the town threatening many homes...their yard was flooded plus their neighborhoods. The sandbags they all worked hard placing kept water from their home but had the rain kept up, they could have had their home and many others flooded. It is very dangerous!!!

Where is this place?

Same here he did a very great job, hi there how are you doing?

We have a similar story. It’s heartbreaking. I try to remember we still have what’s important but some parts of life are really tough.

i;m sorry about your wife!

Thank you for that. Really. Best to you!

You’re right,hi there Donna how are you doing with your family I do hope you’re safe from the virus?
