Blackhawk and McCall, ID, featured in Sunset magazine

McCall, Idaho–The Blackhawk community and McCall, Idaho, have been featured in the August 2006 edition of Sunset magazine in an article titled “Where to buy now: The West’s most popular places to find your second home.”

McCall was one of only 10 locations across the Western U.S. selected as a prime second home destination, and the only Idaho location mentioned. Furthermore, Blackhawk was the only McCall-area residential community singled out in the article.

“We scouted around for our top 10 hot vacation-home spots. Our criteria? A growing second-home market, great recreational opportunities, relative affordability (the median price of a vacation home was $204,000 in 2005, according to NAR), and a small-town lifestyle, from art galleries to coffeehouses and farmers’ markets,” the article explained.

In describing McCall, the magazine writes:

“With nearly 2500 residents and access to world-class rafting, fly-fishing and two nearby ski resorts, McCall is an alternative to better-known and more expensive Sun Valley. Mike Anderson of McCall Real Estate Company says prices in McCall range from $200,000 to $11 million. In Blackhawk, an environmentally aware development situated along the Payette River, homesites start at less than $200,000.”

“We’re pleased that Sunset recognized all that McCall and Blackhawk have to offer,” said Blackhawk chief financial officer Rick Luna. “We’re honored to be mentioned in one of our favorite publications.”

Sunset magazine is a leading lifestyle publication with a subscriber base of 1.3 million readers, covering home, garden, food and travel in the 11 western states.
