UPDATE: Chance to Own a Missoula County Eyesore in IRS Auction
Update on this article: New date of the auction is 10/26/2022. Also, new minimum bids on properties can be found on the IRS information page.
On your trek to Missoula on Highway 93, across from the Subway and the stoplight from the gas station, you might have noticed the run-down buildings and changing collection of "stuff" from hot tubs to stripped motorhomes. The old Kings Hat Cafe and the building in front of it on the corner of Glacier Drive and Highway 93 will be sold at Public Auction in Missoula on <September 13th, 2022> New Date 10/26/22.
Hear That Sound? A Sigh of Relief
When that news got around the Lolo community word spread quickly. I talked with a neighbor of mine and he was pleased, explaining some background information about frequent interactions with various law enforcement agencies over the last several years involving disturbances revolving around the property or people using the buildings. The Internal Revenue Service now owns the property.
Speculation now is what is going to be done with that prime location. Well, are you going to buy it? "pursuant to an Order of Foreclosure and Judicial Sale" the press release says, from the United States District Court in Missoula. That would be in the Russell Smith Courthouse in Missoula on September 13th. Registration will be at 9:30 a.m. and the sale time is at 10 a.m. There is a minimum bid for the corner property, officially at 100 Glacier Drive is $526,505, and $200,775 for the "Kings Hat" property at 104 Glacier Drive.
