Flexible financing options available!

The property sits at 17446 W Marion Drive in Marion Lake Estates Addition #1 on level terrain that was previously cleared and has since grown back in with brush, young birch, and grass, reducing new clearing costs considerably compared to fully wooded lots. The setting is classic Mat-Su with mixed forest and open pockets, Marion Lake close enough to reach on foot, and Big Lake (one of the region's most popular boating and fishing destinations) just a short drive away.

No borough zoning applies to this parcel. However, recorded Protective Covenants for Marion Lake Estates Addition #1 govern permitted uses. For this lot (Block 2, Lots 1 through 12), development up to a four-plex is permitted, providing more building flexibility than typical single-family-only lots in the area. Minimum dwelling size is 600 square feet on the ground floor. Setbacks require 25 feet front, 10 feet side street, and 10 feet interior lot lines. Short-term rentals are allowed. Camping is allowed for recreational use. Trailers, mobile homes, and RVs may not be used as residences, and sled dogs, livestock, and poultry are not permitted under the covenants. Electricity is in the area through Matanuska Electric Association with buyer to confirm availability and connection costs. Well and septic installation are needed, with septic requiring a 100-foot water setback meeting ADEC standards. Propane is the typical gas source. No borough trash pickup is available, with drop-off service instead. Annual property taxes run approximately $187.80. The property sits outside FEMA flood zones. Buyers should verify all due diligence as needed.

Located approximately 1 minute from Marion Lake public access, 5 minutes from the Big Lake boat launch, 9 minutes from Big Lake center, 26 minutes from Wasilla for full shopping and services, 42 minutes from Palmer, and about 1 hour 6 minutes from Anchorage for major city access and international airport.
