ThereB次元官网网址檚 a rose-coloured opportunity for would-be hoteliers looking to flaunt their wealth in small-town Canada.
A landmark location from the beloved CBC sitcom B次元官网网址淪chittB次元官网网址檚 CreekB次元官网网址 hit the market Wednesday, offering buyers the chance to re-enact the showB次元官网网址檚 riches-to-rags saga for a listing price of $2 million.
The Hockley Motel in Mono, a town of about 8,000 people northwest of Toronto, served as the exterior set for the Rose familyB次元官网网址檚 home on the Emmy Award-winning series.
The listing presents the 6.7-acre riverside property as a fixer-upper that would appeal to travellers seeking rural refuge from the commotion and contagion risk of city life in the COVID-19 era.
ItB次元官网网址檚 a sales pitch that may sound familiar to B次元官网网址淪chittB次元官网网址檚 CreekB次元官网网址 fans who have followed the Rose family as they refurbished their motel-turned-home in a town they once purchased as a joke, said property owner Jesse Tipping.
B次元官网网址淭he show obviously created a script that seems to be very fitting for the actual property,B次元官网网址 said Tipping. B次元官网网址淚 hope (whoever buys it) can find that happiness that the Roses did on the show.B次元官网网址
In addition to its status as a stand-in for the Rosebud Motel, the property has appeared onscreen in the 2005 thriller B次元官网网址淎 History of ViolenceB次元官网网址 and NetflixB次元官网网址檚 superhero series B次元官网网址淭he Umbrella Academy.B次元官网网址
Tipping purchased the building in 2012 in hopes of using it as housing for athletes at the basketball academy he was starting at the time.
The sale has been in the works for about a year, and while Tipping is sad to part ways with the landmark, he admits heB次元官网网址檚 a bit relieved that heB次元官网网址檒l no longer have to ward off B次元官网网址淪chittB次元官网网址檚 CreekB次元官网网址 sightseers.
Colliers Hotels says buyers who are interested in the property can put in offers until Dec. 14.
