Once a beautiful old stone home atop a hill with a beautiful hill. These ruins were neat to explore and reminders of a different time.
​

Doesn't look like much from the outside and not very fun to get to through the thick trees but the inside offers a gorgeous bay window, wood details and an old bed. Check it out!

I remember this house well. It was a freezing cold day and I decided to run and "take a quick shot of this cool house". Well, upon closer inspection I realized the brick on the house was placed in the opposite direction then usual, which made it unique. As I quickly circled the house to get every angle I noticed an open door. Well, this "quick shot" turned into a full house explore. This home was a time capsule, my favourite! Everything was left inside, everything in place like the owner just walked away. The television and calendars really dated this home but it was amazing to see no vandalism and it was clear no one had been in the home for years. What a find.
​

Throwback to 2008, early in my exploring journey. I owned a crappy little camera and was all about documenting sites vs taking good photos. Now I care about both, and I own much better gear. I have no regrets though - a good majority of the places I visited are long since gone and the only record I have is my images. Even though they may not be the best, they still do tell a story...and that's the point right?
​

Didn't look like much from the road due to thick carragana trees but it was clearly a large brick home. We struggled to get close to this house as it was quite overgrown. This is always appealing as the harder it is to reach, the less vandalism there is. Hard to photograph from the outside, this huge rural home had gorgeous brick details using different colour bricks. The interior had gorgeous wood details. It was clear, whoever built this home, had some money back in the day.
​

This house didn't seem like much from the distance but it turned out to be quite cool. Its been abandoned for many years and inside is not in very good shape. That being said, it hardly has any vandalize and offers up a creepy vibe with surrounded trees.

Not the most fancy house from the outside but wow was the inside a nice surprise! I almost skipped this house... mainly because it  looks small, sealed and a touch boring. I was wrong - it was open and very neat inside. Mostly natural decay, the bedrooms were my favorite with bright colours and curtains swaying in the wind. The stairs leading upstairs had a beautiful solid wood banister! Why the name? There were antlers everywhere! Look at the photo's and you will see them - on the counters, on the ground, big and small. 

I grew up dreaming of a house with a turret and so far it hasn't happened. I had this place marked on my map as "large home looks interesting" not sure what to expect. Driving down the lane and coming around the corner it was shocking to see a house this large, with a turret in rural Saskatchewan. At first, it wasn't clear of its status but upon closer inspection (ie// open doors) it was abandoned. The outside was littered with junk and so was the inside. The structure itself likely could have been saved before the roof started to leak but it's in rough shape. A beautiful house, sad to see it in this condition.

Update 2021 - this property has someone living on it, not sure if in a camper or the house?

Yes, this house was home to a racoon family, hence the name. I never met them face to face but I did hear them. They were not thrilled about me being in the house and I am sure I scared them down the walls and into the basement. The road to this house was more like a goat path and would be impassible when wet or snow covered. It was a nice little farmhouse with intact windows, an old tv and original features like the bathroom tile and wallpaper.
