Remote, historic Cape Cod 'dune shacks' offered for lease by National Park Service
For those who want to get way, way off the grid, eight of Cape Cod's historic "dune shacks" are coming on the market.
The National Park Service is seeking bids for 10-year leases on the rustic shacks located within the Peaked Hill Bars National Register of Historic District in Provincetown and Truro.
The National Park Service has set up a competitive process to determine which bidders will win the deals.
Each of the properties is unique, small, weathered, remote and only accessible by foot or a 4X4 vehicle. There are limited running water, plumbing and electrical features within the shacks.
The National Park Service warns interested bidders that the shacks may need repairs, including roof replacement or carpentry work, before the properties can be occupied. Routine maintenance is a requirement for the lease winners.
Potential bidders can make an appointment for a tour, which will be offered on June 15, the NPS said. Proposals are due by 5 p.m. on July 3.
