There was actually a real estate assessment done some years ago which argued that the property would actually be more valuable without the house itself, because the house is in such poor condition but the land is prime real estate with a fantastic view of the Ottawa River.10M$ seem quite high. That house doesn't look that big. Might as well build a new one.
