Original portion of the home was built in 1972, 600 sq ft, and is now used as a large bedroom with its own wood stove and exterior door. This gives the user extra sitting room and a larger closet area. For full privacy from the new section of the home a door or curtain could be added easily.
Addition to the original home was completed in 2010, adding 680 sq ft. This portion of the home is where you will find the full kitchen which had propane on-demand hot water heater, kitchen island, open concept with living room and wood stove, also has its own pantry (could be converted to a bathroom), 2 bedrooms and an office. Finished in warm wood and wood paneling giving it that special touch of real Alaska (sheetrock is underneath). The sliding glass door facing south lets in nice sunlight year round and opens up to the wrap around deck. There are also 2 toyo’s stoves in each section of the main home.
The Bath House building built approximately 2004 is 192 sq ft, propane on demand hot water heater, full tub and shower, toilet, washer and dryer, additional changing space , “toyo” type stove for heat, and is connected to the full septic system installed by a DEC certified installer. The tank is 1500 gallon tank and leach tank. Extra deep and has 4″ of blue board for added insulation. Septic tank was pumped Fall of 2022 and used only seasonally since then. Soils on the property are gravel after the top soil, perfect for the best of septic systems!
Next to the Bath House is the Sauna House! Wood fired, cedar lined, sauna! This is not a kit! This is much better, built on site and fully equipped to for you to experience the best of the sauna experience.
Well access is inside the home in the crawlspace and Sellers have never had a freezing problem in the winters. To be on the safe side, Sellers have installed heat trace between the well and the bath house. Well is 44′ deep and provides beautiful clear water. 2 brand new well pumps were installed one in 2024 the other in 2023. One pump provides water to the main house and the other pumps to the bath house.
The greenhouse is the coveted Planta brand. Made to withstand Alaskan winters. This greenhouse was installed in 2023. Soils have been brought in and the Seller is busy creating planter boxes inside. Oh what you could grow in here! No need for grocery stores with this property!
Tool shed is also 192 sq ft and could be turned into another cabin. This building also has a wonderful covered carport and is closest to the main house. Stay in peak performance with the punching bag too.
The hay shed or chicken coup, or additional tool shed, is 160 sq ft. This is the building with the big white antlers on it, the antlers will remain. Easy to convert to hay storage with the corral or pasture not far, or use for your chickens, possible use for stalls too. What will you think of to use it? The infrastructure for a fenced area for the horses has been left in tact, of course the new owner would need to put up their own wire/fencing as that has been removed previously.
The wood shed in this same general area is large enough to house a full winters worth of wood and keep the snow off of it. No need to go elsewhere for your firewood! Harvest right from your property and be winter ready in no time.
The Writer’s Cabin in the one bedroom cabin in the same area as the Bath House, is also 192 sq ft. Very cozy, appointed just right for BnB guests, includes its own fuel oil heater, complete with a covered porch and seating, and is connected to the electric for lighting.
