Property Description

A private riverfront retreat designed for the Alaska lifestyle. Tucked among the trees, this spacious home features soaring ceilings, an open kitchen, loft, wood stove & impressive oversized garage. Follow the wooded path to your own riverside haven with manicured lawn, firepit, fishing spot & private river access. A peaceful escape with year-round adventure just outside your door. This is a property built around the Alaska lifestyle. Set above the river in a private, gated community, the home combines comfortable year-round living with direct access to fishing, boating and miles of outdoor recreation. The 1,795 sq ft home has an open layout with soaring ceilings, large windows and a spacious kitchen with abundant cabinetry, counter space and island seating. The main living area is anchored by a wood stove, with a loft above providing additional flexible space. The home includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a primary suite with dual vanities and a walk-in closet. The oversized garage is a major feature of the property. Exceptionally tall ceilings and substantial floor space provide room for vehicles, boats, snowmachines, gear, a workshop and the equipment that tends to come with living in Alaska. What really sets this property apart, however, is what's down by the river. A wooded drive and trail lead from the house to a large, established lawn directly along the river. It's an entirely separate recreational area with room for outdoor games, gatherings and summer evenings around the firepit. Fish from the property, spend the day on the water, or keep your boat along the riverbank for easy access throughout the season. The combination of usable waterfront, lawn and privacy makes this area something you simply don't find with every riverfront property. In summer, the river becomes an extension of the backyard--fishing, boating, fires and long evenings outside. In winter, the property and surrounding trail system open up opportunities for snowmachining, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. The gated community is designed for residents who want to take advantage of the area year-round. Annual HOA dues are approximately $400 and support community amenities and trail maintenance. Residents also have access to maintained trails, a badminton area and fat-tire bikes for exploring the area. The layout of the property gives you the best of both worlds: the house and garage sit privately above the river, while the lower portion provides a dedicated waterfront recreation area away from the home. It's equally well suited for a year-round residence or an Alaska getaway, with the space and amenities to bring family and friends along.
