It's been a dry spell for Collins Lake sales in Government Camp since January. Although the market is quite saturated with inventory, finally two units have closed in November. Both were cash sales but the prices a bit surprising.
Both of these units were foreclosures. The one selling for $234,000 was originally sold in November of 2005 for $439,000.
Financing is difficult for units, that is, if you can find it these days. Conventional lenders are placing these units under the "condotel" umbrella.
From Wikipedia: A Condo hotel, also known as a hotel-condo or a Condotel, is a building used as both a condominium and a hotel.
Condo hotels are typically high-rise buildings developed and operated as luxury hotels, usually in major cities and resorts.[1] These hotels have condominium units which allow someone to own a full-service vacation home. When they aren’t using this home, they can leverage the marketing and management done by the hotel chain to rent and manage the condo unit as it would any other hotel room.
So it goes with Collins Lake. This might be a hard pill to swallow for unit owners but until financing loosens up, this will be the hand dealt.
U.S. Forest Service planners of the Mt. Hood/Government Camp land swap have just held a public meeting in Portland on Tuesday to present the exchange plan and to take comments by the public. This swap of 769 acres of land owned by Mt. Hood Meadows Oregon LLC and includes the Cooper Spur Ski area and lodge would be traded for around 120 acres of National Forest land on the South side of Mt. Hood.
Proponents of the swap include the Hood River Valley Residents Committee who want to protect the Crystal Springs watershed that services around 25% of the Hood River Valley drinking water. Details of the discussion can be found here

One of the very few remaining Alpenglade lots in Government Camp closed in July, 2010 for $230,000 cash. Lot sales have been few and far between with the slowing down of the real estate market. I am pleased to report that I was the marketing agent for this property.
Music lovers on the mountain are disappointed to hear the news that the Timberline Mountain Music Series of free concerts has been cancelled this season.
Guess what! The forest service has received 4.25 million dollars of stimulus money. Some of this money will be used to work on the infrastructure of Timberline Lodge. Some of this work will be done this summer at Timberline therefore halting the concert series due to construction.

When doing an online search for properties many times the leased land cabins in the Mt. Hood National Forest will appear under Government Camp as a location. They aren't located in the traditional Government Camp area that we think of at the elevation of 3500 feet with a condensed community serviced by water,sewer and amenities. Clackamas county has designated an area "down the hill" from Government Camp as technically included so many forest cabins show up in your search. I believe the cut off area is on Road 28 and 29. If a cabin is in Government Camp they will be serviced by a separate phone company than Rhododendron residents.
Here are cabins located in Government Camp that are on leased land at this time.
