The highest bid for now is 12 000 €, which is much higher than usually paid for a cabin in this area.

I was getting excited about living the dream by the lakes in Finland, however this is rental only :(

Here are two other examples in Northern Lapland for comparison:

120 hectare plot with a cabin built in 1948 - 180 000 € (the forest is worth +60 000 €).
Newer cabin with a rental plot. - +9500 €

Building a log cabin in Finland is relative easy task and quite cheap, I would concentrate more finding a really nice plot for it!

How much is land up that way a km2? Over the 20 years your looking at 40,000 quid!

The cabin comes with rental right to 3000 square meters or 0.3 hectares. The median price for smaller patches of forest in Lapland was 1344 € per hectare in 2013. Based on the price for larger plots, a square kilometer of forest land would cost roughly 67800 €.
