Serene landscape features an assortment of homes
Meadow Lakes offers rambler-style homes, spacious traditional Alaskan log cabins, lakefront properties and sprawling estates, perfect for horse farms or parking your boat or farm equipment. Most homes range from $200,000 to $950,000. However, you can get one-bedroom rustic cabins for under $120,000 or spring for a higher-end property on up to 30 acres with ultimate privacy for up to $1.2 million.
