Alaska land and real estate

Alaska land overview

In addition to being the largest state with over 424 million acres, Alaska is the northernmost, westernmost, and easternmost state since parts of the Aleutian Islands stretch into the Eastern Hemisphere. The state's tremendous size makes it twice as big as Texas, larger than the 22 smallest states combined, and larger than all but 18 countries. Within its massive land area much of this beautiful state is untouched and home to some of the most incredible landscapes. Its geography contains everything from tundra, mountains, and forests, to massive river deltas, over 300 volcanic islands, and more than 3 million lakes. Popular property types in Alaska include lakefront land, rustic homesteads, and recreational cabin sites. The state is probably most well known for its rich abundance of natural resources such as crude oil and gold.
