Thoughtfully developed with deep respect for the natural surroundings, this turnkey homestead features a 2,600± square foot modern main home and three beautifully crafted log cabins, all set up for comfortable, off-grid living. Every essential amenity is covered with a DEC-approved five-bedroom septic system, two producing wells (75-foot residential and 85-foot commercial), and high-capacity generators. Whether you're seeking a serene retreat, a launchpad for adventure tourism, or a unique investment property, this extraordinary slice of Alaskan paradise offers it all privacy, access, history, and potential. Step into a lifestyle that combines rugged independence with refined living, surrounded by some of the most stunning scenery on Earth.
