What a $1 million home looks like: Peachland BC
6239 Renfrew Road, Peachland, B.C.If these walls could talk. Peachland Castle B&B was formerly known as Castle Haymour, brain child of Eddy Haymour. He originally owned Rattlesnake Island across from where Peachland Castle now stands, but was forced to sell after being arrested by the RCMP for making threats, convinced he was being conspired against for his plans to build an Arab theme park in the Okanagen Valley. In retaliation, he seized the Canadian Embassy in Beirut, and eventually was tried in B.C., where the courts awarded him $250,000 in damages and he used the money to buy the land for and build Peachland Castle.
