Stunning View every day! This stone and log house is on 10 acres of prime mountain view land on the south side of Lazy Mountain. If you watch nature or the seasons, then this is your new cockpit as you can see for miles, yet it is only minutes from downtown Palmer. Near the Lazy Mountain trailhead. Enjoy seeing wildlife, we have seen moose, fox, lynx, and many birds. There is a huge deck on the south side for weather watching and grilling. Admiring the valley and mountain views is a major occupation at the house with large windows and light, year round due to house placement and elevation. The finished log house has two full bedrooms plus a large loft, two baths, living room, dining room, large kitchen, and a downstairs living space as well. It has heated floors on the lower floor and two heating systems. The 10 acres is remote yet near wonderful neighbors, although you can't see or hear them because all properties surrounding this home are also large acreage lots. A large separate oversized two car garage, a separate heated two story cabin, and a very large separate quanset hut are also part of this property. A full perennial flower garden, raised beds and yard has been developed over many years along with addition of dozens of various trees. Good well and flat gravel driveway makes this the perfect home for a family that appreciates nature and wants the full visual Alaskan experience every single day.
