About This Home

As of October 2024

Welcome to your true Alaskan dream home with a view! This exclusive, custom-built home is constructed of burl logs sourced right here in Interior Alaska and features handcrafted interior burl and red oak millwork. With an impressive 3,700 square feet of living space and sitting on 6.6 acres, this home boasts 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, and 2 separate garages that can house up to 4 vehicles. Tucked atop a hill and in a secluded and quiet neighborhood, you will be awestruck by the spectacular and ever changing views of the Tanana River Valley and Alaska Range. Upon entering the main level, you will be greeted by a tiled entryway that leads into a grand hallway featuring a burled spiral staircase and access to three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and two additional bonus spaces that can be used as living or hobby rooms. The expansive master bedroom features panoramic views, abundant natural light and an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. Each bedroom is encased in oak with burl accents in each corner and picturesque bay windows. Access to an attached, heated 1-car garage provides storage for your vehicle and houses a Buderus boiler providing efficient radiant floor heat throughout the home. Head up the spiral staircase and you will enter a massive great room encompassed by native birch tongue and groove vaulted ceilings and large picture windows displaying the majestic Tanana River Valley and Alaska Range. Also featured on this level is a home office with a custom built-in desk and shelving, a huge hidden storage area, a half bath as well as a dining area and kitchen with a walk-in pantry. The kitchen provides plenty of countertop space for food prep, a breakfast bar for additional dining, and stainless-steel appliances. Outside, an expansive Trex deck overlooks the spectacular views, terraced garden plots, rock wall terraces, manicured lawn, and includes a commercial grill perfect for entertaining. Another outdoor feature includes a sizable sauna with a dressing room easily accessed from a walkway connected to the back deck. For all your Alaskan storage needs, this home also features a 32’ x 64’ detached heated garage that can fit up to 3 vehicles and houses a full woodworking shop complete with a built-in exhaust system. Behind the detached garage is a large, covered storage area with built-in shelving. Just a 45-minute drive from the heart of downtown Fairbanks and only 10 minutes from Harding Lake, this custom, one-of-a-kind home boasts unparalleled craftsmanship and attention to detail around every turn. This could be your perfect year-round home, vacation home or even a special events venue. Seller will offer owner finance terms.
