Description
Nestled between Birch Lake and Meadow Creek, this one-of-a-kind property offers an incredible opportunity to build equity while enjoying the Alaska lifestyle. The original structure began as a small cabin before being lifted and expanded over the years, creating a home full of character and history. While the property's full story has been lost to time, many of the original cabin features remain, adding warmth and unique charm you won't find in newer construction. Outside, you'll discover a greenhouse ready for your gardening ambitions, along with a separate cabin complete with a wood-burning stove--perfect as a workshop, hobby space, storage, guest overflow, or a cozy retreat after a day outdoors. Located just minutes from Big Lake, you'll have easy access to thousands of acres of year-round recreation. Spend your summers boating, fishing, kayaking, or paddleboarding, and your winters snowmachining, cross-country skiing, or exploring Alaska's scenic trails. **The seller is highly motivated and willing to work with the right buyer. Financing concerns? The seller is open to completing lender-required repairs, when reasonable, to help the property meet financing standards and make homeownership more attainable.** If you've been searching for an affordable property with character, versatile outbuildings, and the opportunity to add your own vision and value, this could be the one you've been waiting for.
