Land board clears way for Priest Lake lot sales

PRIEST LAKE — The Idaho Department of Lands board voted Wednesday to provide certainty that remaining lessees have the opportunity to participate in a voluntary auction for ownership of the lot they lease by the end of 2019, if they choose. 

There are 253 remaining cottage site lots at Priest Lake and 84 remaining cottage site lots at Payette Lake.

The lands are owned by the state of Idaho but the cabins and other improvements on the land are owned by individuals as personal property. The families lease the lands from the state.
