    Impressive. There was a comment there from someone in Cochrane that said "from reliable sources they hear there are multiple families to be living in this home, up to 8".

    I really hope we don't see the trend of these oversized, monstrosities taking over where there is several families living in them.... anyone who has lived in Vancouver or it's burbs knows what a nuisance those dwellings are.... "Single Family" homes that are actually apartments inside with a plethora of usually overly cheap cars in front taking up street parking.... Usually common in Surrey and Richmond (in Vancouver's burbs that's an actual problem).

    Otherwise, will be neat to see when it's finished - who are we to criticize someone's success and how flash they wish to be??

    One rumor was the land was originally Bernard Callebauts land and he was going to build and move his factory from DT. And he had the fence up before his company shit the bed.

    Eh, not my style, but I'll reserve judgement until I see how they finish the exterior.

    I'm hoping it's either got great fire surpression or the garage is concrete inside. Just to protect the rarity of some of those vehicles.

    Otherwise, you'll end up with this fake, soul-less knock-off vibe. Typical Chinese replica.
    My guess is that the exterior will be covered in stone veneer of some kind so it LOOKS like a castle, just not as strong as one.

    3.1M is peanuts for a house that size, I'd expect it's going to be not all that nice.

    I know of houses that have around the same construction cost (no, not land, just construction) that are 1/4 the size. What a waste. And to top it off, it's not original at all.

    I agree, that if you're gonna go the chateau route, at least do it right.

    I think it looks more like business then a home. Maybe a home builder? Kinda like how Shane homes has theres done.

    Lol. I see no issue with this. It's probably some 20 kids and counting family.

    The garage looks like it's two deep... as I think I see a garage door on the back side as well... so if there are 9 doors, there is likely room for 18 cars.

    that 3.1m is for sure the bare minimum value they had to give to get the permits... im sure the overall cost is MUCH higher. but this also appears to be a house from someone in the industry so i doubt they are paying retail either
