How's this for a fixer-upper? Remote Idaho home is listed for $1.6 MILLION despite peeling wallpaper, duct-taped doors and ripped up floor (but does have ten acres and two wells)

The home is located in Harden Lake, in northern Idaho, and features expansive views of the sky


Meanwhile one of the doors has several strips of duct tape laid over it and the message 'Caution, do not open!' scrawled across it. The house was listed on June 4 for $1.6million.

1. Homes in Hayden Lake can be quite expensive.

In this case, however, it's more than likely essentially the land that's for sale. They're likely expecting someone to tear down the current house and build a new one.

The land is probably worth way more than you think.

2. at that link...I see .29 acres ON Water for 850K, so you maybe right.

5. Yep. For 10 acres that might be, in fact, not too bad a price. n/t

12. Hayden Lakes is a white supremest area of Idaho

So no non white offers accepted probably.

8. bring your own water too... with all those water bottles, looks like no plumbed water

6. It's just appraised at that amount

So they can charge outrageous amounts of property tax. They are doing it all over the state right now. I just got my appraisal at $137,000 for a 900 sq ft, one bedroom, 1 bath, no central heat, etc. No one in their right mind would pay that for this shack. I do plan to protest, as do a whole lot of others around here. Meanwhile the senators here have all become millionaires in the past few years. It's quite a scam.

13. a Californian would pay that price, move in then after a few months "there is nothing to do"

My retiring Calif colleagues have been moving to those low cost states with their payouts from selling CA homes

15. holy moly.. there is a 1.9 M condo in Idaho

10. Think overlapping

fields of fire in all directions, some well-placed claymores, and it could be safe, IMHO.

14. i am imagining driving to store with BLM or Biden Sticker

[RKP5637]

18. And Pride flags on the car!

11. That pic of the taped up door is pretty scary! Wonder who/what's behind it? n/t

[Demovictory9]

16. I would demand door be opened before making offer

[RKP5637]

17. Yeah, definitely, imagine if it led to some kind of spooky basement.
