remote Idaho home (10 acres) listed for sale at Southern California price (1.6 million)

**at most the land would be worth less than 100k**

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10890473/Remote-Idaho-home-listed-1-6-MILLION-despite-peeling-wallpaper-duct-taped-doors.html


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.

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.

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.

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