The National Park Service is seeking proposals to lease three historic properties in Cape Cod National Seashore: the Ahearn House, the Jedidiah Higgins House, and the Sirna Studio. The properties are available for private, residential use and occupancy, and the selected offeror will have exclusive negotiation rights to enter into a lease. The lease term is expected to be 10 to 20 years, and the rent will be negotiated based on Fair Market Value Rent.

Key considerations include: * The compatibility of the proposed use with the preservation, protection, and visitor enjoyment of the park area * The financial capability of the offeror to carry out the terms of the lease * The experience of the offeror in repairing and maintaining similar properties * The environmental enhancement of the proposed use * The financial and other terms offered by the proposal.
