The owners of the original Lands End houseboat used to film scenes of the 80’s & 90’s hit TV show, MacGyver, have confirmed on their blog that they will be putting the float-home up for sale later this year.

Located in a private undisclosed marina in Vancouver, Canada, the husband and wife owners have been living on Lands End, the vessels registered name, since January 2005, but have now decided it’s time to move on and are currently in the process of renovating and repairing the houseboat to ready it for sale.
They haven’t set an exact date of sale yet, saying only that it will be “later this summer, maybe even early fall, depending upon how long it takes to spiffy it up.”

The houseboat was used for filming external scenes for the show from 1987 to 1990 in Vancouver, Canada, where MacGyver was filmed from it’s 3rd to 6th seasons. Although the other 3 seasons each respectively tried using a different housing situation for the shows title character, it was the Houseboat which seemed to fit best with the fans and has now become, in many fans eyes, an icon of the show; and it’s this icon status throughout much of the shows considerable fan base along with a continuing fascination with MacGyver by the wider public which may very well turn this little floating home into hot property.


Take a virtual tour of the houseboat and see how it looks today

And what are they asking for it?



I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver.

I could not imagine being the new buyers of such a place. I would be so happy.



Now technically I'm driving a stolen car following a kidnapping... and I didn't even get to have my first cup of coffee. (Mac)
Your burning hot MacGyver... And so is Pete! ! (Murdoc)
Does anyone have a knife?? Yes...it has lots of different blades (Macgyver music plays while mac examines the knief) ...I know
Why are you taking your pants off?? You got a better idea? I'm still trying to figure out what yours is!!

There's not mention of price yet. I guess that will come once they have finished the repairs and had it valued to local market prices.

if I owned this place I would invite everyone from the forum over for macgyver parties, which would involve of course macgyver running 24/7 on the tv, sports such as indoor baseketball and table hockey and maybe cook up a little bayou burned blackend redfish.

Sounds like a good plan. biggrin.gif

I probably have to tuck it to the harbors at the North Sea or Antwerp first before getting it at the rivers in town.

I like the way you think, MacIsMyDad. Seriously, living in the houseboat would make my life.
