A Canadian woman is offering to gift her $1.7 million (12 crore INR) beautiful mansion to a person who writes the most compelling essay on why they’d like to live in the home. It’s like an essay competition that can win someone this idyllic estate which is about 40 miles south of Calgary.

The mansion is located in Millarville, Alberta, Alla Wagner’s abode is an extravagant country mansion which is designed in the Georgian Country Style. She took it Instagram and dedicated a post on her Facebook page which read as:

“Write a Letter, Win a House.”
“We had to list our house because of my poor health, which has been especially bad the last 6 months or so”. She wrote in her post.

She added, “Being confined to only one (upper) floor is becoming unbearable and it is taking a toll on my work and life in too many ways.”

The lady wants to have responses to the question: “Why would moving to this lakefront dream home change your life?” Alla Wagner is charging $25 (1,700 INR) for each entry. It is believed that it will reach 68,000 and raising up to 1.7 million dollars which are approximately 12 crores.

Her mansion failed to sell out for 5 months in the market. There Alla decided to sell it by approaching it in a different way. She is now looking for a creative person to approach the house with his creative response, which she described on Facebook as “a writer’s or artist’s paradise.”

The Canadian lady is also planning to return the entry fees if she would not be able to meet her goal or should be able to sell the home before the end of the month. She also revealed that her idea is being inspired by the film The Spitfire Grill. Her decision features a similar contest for a cafe in the film.
