Property Description
It's a 2 br/2ba 2200 sqft home on 14+ acres, where you can quite literally feast your eyes on the mighty Chugach out your front window, and walk/ski/snowmachine/ATV into the Talkeetnas out your back door. The original log home was built in 2005, and completely remodeled and expanded in 2012, with the addition of the garage and two large family rooms above it. Currently used as office, family, and exercise spaces, these rooms could easily be converted into one or two additional bedrooms, or a generous primary suite. Maintenance and finishes have been meticulous throughout the current owners' tenure, as you will tell when you walk in the door. The oversize 2-car garage has plenty of extra room for work areas or storage, and the shed outside is sized to store snow machines, ATVs, and all kinds of outdoor equipment.
There's world-class high-speed fiber internet, so you can work/play/stream/keep in touch just like you would in any urban area. Everything here has been thought out in advance for seamless convenience and security: there's a standby propane whole-house generator in case of a power outage, and the septic was recently extended for 4 bedroom use, to accommodate potential expansion of bedrooms upstairs. There's even a custom whole-house monitoring system, so you can keep an eye on the temperature from Anchorage or the Lower 48 (or anywhere!).
The 14 acre property includes a custom-built mountain hut, accessible by trail only, at the top of the hill in the back on the way into the Talkeetnas. There's immediate access to hundreds of miles of ATV and snowmobile riding and hunting on the Purinton/Boulder Creek trail system - these are mountains you can travel through for weeks and never see another soul. It's minutes from the Matanuska River and Glacier, for thrilling whitewater rafting and glacier trekking. There are community ski trails and iconic Alaska hiking at Lion's Head, Sheep and Gunsight Mountains. Flightseeing and Heli-skiing are within 30 minutes at Sheep Mountain. There's fishing at nearby Long, Wiener and Bonnie Lakes. It is truly an outdoor lover's dream - and a hearty taste of wild Alaska, with modern amenities.

This is wild Alaska, with the Glenn Highway a thin two-lane ribbon of civilization connecting you to Anchorage and the rest of the world. To the north, the Talkeetnas, home to the Nelchina caribou herd and plenty of Dall sheep, moose, grizzlies, and wolves, stretch unbroken all the way to the Alaska Range and Denali. Across the highway, the mighty Matanuska River has its source just up the road in the Matanuska Glacier, which flows 25 miles back into the heart of the Chugach... and the beginning of the most heavily glaciated part of the Earth outside of Antarctica and Greenland. If you want all this, a meticulously constructed and carefully maintained home, and an easy drive to supermarket and an airport with nonstop flights both coasts and Europe - you may have found your home.
