Idaho school endowment made $15.65M on Priest Lake cabin-site auction

Three more lots that were up for auction, two of them leased and one unleased, drew no bids. The lots that sold went for an average of just over $447,000; the three unsold ones were appraised at $400,000 $465,000 and $460,000. That’s just for the ground, and doesn’t include the structures that lessees have built on the properties during the decades that Idaho has leased them out as cabin sites. If someone other than the cabin owner had been the high bidder, that person would have had to buy the structure from the cabin owner, in addition to buying the lot from the state. The highest-priced parcel in the auction, on South Hunt Creek Road in Coolin, went for $643,000; the lowest-priced, on Upper Bear Creek Bay Road, also in Coolin, went for $341,000. Read more.
