CAPE COD, Mass. - The National Park Service is offering proposals from prospective lessees for eight historic dune shacks along the Cape Cod National Seashore in Provincetown and Truro, Massachusetts.
And while the government has said the fair market value for the shacks is between just $2,000 and $16,000 a year, depending on the size of the dwelling.
The shacks are extremely rustic, most with limited running water and electricity, and most of current lessees use outhouses.
The remote buildings are open to all bidders "as-is with all faults" and the lessees are expected to maintain the shacks and pay for repairs.
