Perfectly positioned on 1.13 beautifully landscaped acres with paved road access, this estate offers privacy, convenience, and endless recreational opportunities right outside your door. Inside, the open-concept design is warm, inviting, and built for entertaining. The chef's kitchen is a showpiece featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a Viking stove, spacious pantry, and wine beverage fridge. Gather around the stunning massive rock fireplace while taking in the spectacular mountain and lake views. A handcrafted staircase created by a famous Alaskan artisan adds character and craftsmanship rarely found today. The luxurious primary ensuite offers French doors leading to the wraparound deck where mornings begin with coffee overlooking the lake mountain sunrises and evenings end with unforgettable evenings over looking the mountains. Additional French doors from the dining room create seamless indoor-outdoor living, perfect for hosting exquisite dinners with one of Alaska's finest backdrops. In-floor heat on both the main and lower levels keeps the home cozy year-round. Outside, this property truly checks every box. The heated 1,400 sq ft 4-car shop includes an additional 800 sq ft mother-in-law apartment or future VRBO opportunity already framed and ready for completion, complete with its own septic system--offering incredible income potential or guest accommodations. The grounds are equally impressive with mature flower gardens, extensive landscaping, privacy fencing, RV parking, a storage shed, chicken coop, and horses welcome. The charming finished 12x12 boathouse features beautiful tongue-and-groove finishes and its own private deck, creating the perfect lakeside escape. Adventure surrounds you in every season. Located near Nancy Lake and Willow Creek State Parks, enjoy quick access to countless lakes, world-class salmon fishing, endless snowmachine trails, skiing, hiking, and hunting on nearby public lands. Even the legendary Iditarod can be viewed right from your home on the lake. Additional features include a Generac backup generator, gated driveway, and unmatched access to Alaska's outdoor lifestyle while still enjoying luxury living and modern conveniences.
