Every child dreams of living in a magical land , complete with dragons and castles , as well as their favorite fairytale characters . And now those childhood dreams could become a reality - at the bargain price of just $ 2.7million ( £1.74million ) . The Enchanted Forest , in British Columbia , not only boasts 38.1 acres of beautiful woodland , but also a host of colorful characters to keep its new owners company - from Captain Hook and Snow White , to Humpty Dumpty and the Pied Piper . Magic : The Enchanted Forest theme park in Calgary , British Columbia , is on sale for a bargain $ 2.7million . Attraction : Up to 1,000 visitors a day are said the flock to the park - which was lovingly created over 10 years more than 70 years ago . Neighbors : The forest has been filled with a host of magical characters to keep the new owner company during the quieter periods . Properties : It also boasts a host of different homes for the new owner to explore - including this one , the home of the Three Bears . The new owner will also get their pick of the properties , from the Three Bears ' cozy cottage , to their very own castle - although they may have to watch out for the dragon peeking over the battlements . They 'll also be the proud holder of British Columbia 's tallest treehouse , which soars 50 feet into the sky . And if it is peace and quiet they seek , they can certainly find plenty of that in the forest : the nearest major town is Calgary , 275 miles away . However , if magic is n't quite your cup of tea , the property also boasts a high-rope assault course , mile-long nature trail and lake . Record breaking : The park also has the tallest treehouse in the whole of British Columbia , soaring 50 feet into the sky . Hard work : The figurines dotted around the forest were lovingly created by the park 's first owner , Doris Needham . Enchanting : Doris was an artist in the 1950s who wanted the perfect space to place the figurines - and settled on the forest . For sale : It was bought in 1990 by Rocky and Juliet Ehlers , who have now decided it is time to retire . Continue : But Rocky has said he very much hopes the new owners will continue to run the much-loved park as a tourist attraction . The Enchanted Forest was opened as a theme park in the 1960s after 10 years of hard work by Doris and Ernest Needham , who lived in their very own Candy Cane House . Indeed , it was Doris ' own artistic talent which helped create the 350 figurines scattered about the neighborhood . She searched for the perfect location for her unusual figurines for two years , before settling on this space in the Cedar Mountains . Since 1990 , however , the popular attraction has been owned by Rocky and Juliet Ehlers . The couple , having lovingly run the forest as a theme park for 25 years , have now decided to hang up their ruby slippers for good , and enjoy a quieter retirement . Interest : There is already a lot of interest in buying the property - with inquiries flooding in from all over the world . Bargain : The theme park is far cheaper than Michael Jackson 's Neverland , which was expected to fetch $ 85million last year . Bright : It is also a bargain when compared to the cost of flats in some of the most expensive cities in the world . Rocky , 69 , told the Revelstoke Times Review : 'It 's been very enjoyable years and it 's time we move on . ' He remains hopeful whoever buys the Enchanted Forest - which can still attract up to 1,000 visitors a day - will keep running it as a theme park . Estate agent Steve Daschuk said : 'This is such a magical property . So far we 've had interest from all over Canada and internationally . 'We 've even had people get in touch from China , enquiring about the forest . ' And that is perhaps not surprising : the theme park 's asking price is a snip of that sought for Michael Jackson 's Neverland , which was expected to get as much as $ 85million when it went on sale last year . It is also just a million dollars more than the average flat price in Manhattan , the same price as a two-bedroom flat in central London and Hong Kong . Dragons : Estate agent Steve Daschuk described it as 'such a magical property ' , and said people from China had expressed interest . Remote : The nearest large town is Calgary - which is 275 miles away from the Enchanted Forest .
