Does taxable gains apply to buildings on leased land? Not considered as real estate but personal Property? sold a cabin and bought a different cabin on lake leased lots

[j3lake]

we purchased cabin A 26 years ago for 25K. this tear we purchased cabin B for 95K and marketed cabin A and sold it for 132K. again we do not own the lot but long term lease from a municipality

Yes, assuming the cabin is used as a second home/vacation home it is a personal capital asset and gains on the sale of the asset are capital gains.  (Note- Sale of personal property, such as vehicle, for more than the purchase price is also a capital gain)
