Description

Rare opportunity to own a historic log cabin in the heart of Talkeetna, located just steps from the Susitna River and within walking distance of downtown. Built by climber, engineer, and guide Ron Garrett, this property carries a unique connection to Alaska's mountaineering history and the Denali climbing community.

Supplements: The cabin offers unobstructed views of the Susitna River and is located approximately 100 yards from one of Talkeetna's best public viewpoints of Mt. Denali. The property is close to the Talkeetna Ranger Station, restaurants, shops, river access, and year-round outdoor activities. The home has been carefully refreshed and improved, including renewed decking, beams, and girders; stained decking; sanded and stained log exterior; leveled grounds with large roots removed; organized storage areas for tools and garden equipment; and a concrete slab built for the heating oil tank. Mechanical and utility improvements include a new heating oil copper line, newer bathroom and plumbing updates, and a new water heater installed in 2025. The property also includes a working snowblower and newer push mower, making seasonal maintenance easier for the next owner. With its oversized lot configuration, historic character, river views, and prime Talkeetna location, the property is open to multiple future uses: private Alaska retreat, vacation rental, climbing clubhouse, fishing and hunting base, sauna business, or expansion with an additional guest cabin or accessory structure. A rare combination of history, location, usability, and business potential in one of Alaska's most iconic mountain towns.
