Lake CdA blog cabin hits market

The  Blog Cabin, pictured during a tour on Wednesday, January 6, 2016, features a wide view of Lake Coeur d'Alene. A New York couple won the property in a sweepstakes in October and decided they couldn't keep it. It will be listed for sale for just under $900,000.

A fully furnished and decorated new home with custom artwork and sweeping views of Lake Coeur d’Alene is an unusual real estate listing. The 4,000-square-foot house on eight acres, which hits the market next week, will be familiar to those who watch “Blog Cabin,” an interactive home improvement show on DIY Network. Viewers voted on design features for the “modern-style mountain retreat” on the east side of the lake, and the network gave away the house in an October drawing from more than 23 million entries. The New York couple who won came out for a brief visit but decided to sell it. “People have seen it on TV and online, but no one has really seen it in person except the owners and myself and the builders,” said Mark Hensley with John L. Scott Real Estate. “It’s a pretty unique home”/Scott Maben, SR. More here.

Question: How would you like to own something like this?
