WOW! This estate is so versatile, and the opportunities are endless! Are you looking for an opportunity that allows you to invest in an amazing property, possibly owner-occupy and run a business or a few? This one may be the one for you! Did I mention the abundance of wildlife and the Aurora views? The newly constructed custom home, completed in 2023, offers 1,000 square feet of beautifully finished living space. Inside, you’ll find epoxy floors, Sitka spruce countertops, abundant hickory cabinetry, a stunning oversized kitchen island with a birch slab top, and a statement copper farmhouse sink. Built for efficiency and comfort, the home features slab-on-grade construction with radiant in-floor heat, along with mini-split AC and heat pump systems in both the living room and bedroom. Curb appeal is unmatched with a custom retaining wall featuring built-in flower beds that welcome you home and guide you along a floating walkway to the entrance. A generous 6-foot extended roof overhang allows for comfortable outdoor relaxation in any weather. The cleared acreage minimizes light pollution, offering breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Aurora. The 30’x30’ detached shop is fully insulated and heated, with 9-foot ceilings—perfect for storing your Alaskan recreational vehicles or creating the ultimate workshop space. Additionally, the property includes a brand-new 1,600-square-foot home featuring a spacious primary suite, second bedroom, additional full bath, and an expansive living room and kitchen area. Highlights include soaring 14-foot cathedral ceilings finished with blue pine tongue and groove, 10-foot exterior walls, commercial-grade blue pine luxury vinyl plank flooring, forced-air heat, insulated concrete block construction paired with 2x6 framing, and a welcoming covered porch. This building is being sold As-Is. For even more storage and functionality, you’ll find a 40’x30’ pole barn ideal for sheltered cold storage, a large 20’x20’ storage shed, and an additional storage building on the property. Nature lovers will appreciate the abundance of wildflowers and berries—pick fresh raspberries right from your backyard. Wildlife frequently visits the private pond nestled in the cleared pasture, enhancing the peaceful, Alaskan setting. Conveniently located just 10 minutes from the front gate of Eielson Air Force Base and approximately 30 minutes from Fort Wainwright. Cafe and equipment are not included in the purchase but may be discussed separately outside of the real estate transaction. Conventional financing preferred. Possible owner financing available.
