The campsite was for sale in an online auction, the base price was 499,750 euros. The parish of Lieksa did not receive any offers, even though they extended the sale period. The area is currently rented to an entrepreneur.
The extension of the sale period did not bring any offers for the Koli campsite on the shore of Pielinen.
The parish of Lieksa sold the almost five-hectare Merilänranta campsite since October. The base price in the online auction was half a million euros.
The deadline for submission of bids expired on Friday evening. The extension did not produce results either, even though the sales announcement had been viewed more than 11,000 times on the last day.
The previous sales companies of the area located in Loma-Koli have been bored by a disagreement about the price.
The area will continue to be rented out
– It could also be that the preparation for the sale expires at this point, Maijala states.
The financial manager considers it unlikely that the sale would now be continued or that the congregation would lower the minimum price.
The campsite has been rented to private entrepreneurs for decades. The current three-year lease expires at the end of 2023.
The next lease may be longer than the current one.
– We will definitely discuss that alternative seriously, Maijala estimates.
