Located at the gateway to the highly sought-after Hatcher Pass area, just off Willow-Fishhook Rd this exceptional 7.48 acre estate spans two adjoining lots and offers a rare combination of craftsmanship, functionality, and potential. Featuring a beautifully crafted timber frame home and an impressive two-story barn, both built with traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery. The move-in-ready home has been thoughtfully designed for comfort and efficiency, featuring in-floor radiant heat and a Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) system. Rich timber frame construction creates a warm, inviting atmosphere while highlighting the property's extraordinary attention to detail.Complementing the residence is a substantial two-story timber frame barn, also built with traditional mortise-and-tenon construction. Currently unfinished, the structure presents a unique opportunity for the next owner to customize the space to suit their specific needs, whether for agricultural use, workshop space, storage, additional living quarters, or a combination of uses. Additional improvements include a newly constructed, insulated two-car garage that is plumbed for in-floor heat and requires only a boiler for completion. A separate guest cabin with electrical service offers additional accommodations and awaits only minor finishing touches, including interior paint and grout for the tile flooring. The property is well-equipped for both recreation and self-sufficiency. An outdoor terrace wired for power and a fireplace provides an ideal setting for entertaining or enjoying the surrounding landscape. A geothermal field has been installed and plumbed to both the home and barn, offering significant future energy-efficiency potential, though the system is not currently operational. A transfer switch and generator provide added security and preparedness. Additional outbuildings include a large woodshed and a 288 sqft workshop equipped with 220 amp electrical service, creating ample space for projects, equipment, and storage. Offering a rare combination of handcrafted construction, extensive infrastructure, and versatile acreage in one of the Mat-Su Valley's most desirable recreational corridors, this exceptional property presents endless possibilities for those seeking a private estate, homestead, hobby farm, or multi-purpose retreat with convenient access to year-round outdoor recreation, trails, and the natural beauty of Hatcher Pass with breath taking mountain views of Denali.
