Yet another tourist attraction of the Prince Edward Island of my childhood, Woodleigh Replicas in Burlington, is on the market still, seven years after it closed.

P.E.I. real estate agent has turned to social media — and a hefty cash reward — in the hopes of finding a buyer for the former popular tourist attraction Woodleigh Replicas.

Allan Weeks posted an offer of $10,000 cash for anyone who helps him sell the property, which he co-owns with his brother, to Facebook last week. It's since been shared more than 2,000 times.

"This is a pretty high promotion of $10,000," Weeks said.

A cash-deal between brokers usually runs between $1,000 and 5,000, he said.

Woodleigh Replicas, located in Burlington near Kensington, featured small-scale stone replicas of famous British castles and landmarks. Many of the buildings are still located on the 19-acre property.

The site, the CBC notes, has been pre-approved for building lots.
