Description

Drive to the end of the road, fire up the wood stove (or the whole-house boiler with radiant floor heat!), and settle in with views of Denali from your bedroom window. This barely-off-grid home is just a short distance off the Parks Highway in Willow, pn two flat, dry, highly usable lots, with a one-car garage. Built in 2013, it's been lived in both full-time and used as a weekend getaway,

Supplements: and is great for both. There's an inverter and batteries that can power the house for multiple days after a charge from the generator, and the system is solar-ready if you want to install panels in the future. With a propane fridge, washer, and range, as well as a drilled well and documented septic, this Alaskan dream is rustic and practical at the same time. It's just an hour and a half from Anchorage, and a few hundred yards in two directions from the current end of Borough road maintenance. It's got both Denali and Talkeetna views and access to miles of winter trails in all directions. Much of the land is cleared, with forest and fencing along the boundary to maintain privacy but plenty of space to play and enjoy the views all around the house. Heat is from a wood stove inside the house, or an Aqua-Therm whole-house wood boiler, attached to an underfloor hydronic heating system for radiant floor heat. The wood boiler could be switched out for an oil-fired Toyo, providing convenient and reliable heat without daily loading of the wood. With solar panels and a Toyo, this home would be ready to run self-sufficiently and be heated all winter with no daily maintenance. The house is also easily winterized, if you prefer to use it only in the summer. Outside, theres a garage for a vehicle or toys and tools, with a full loft for extra storage. Combined with the deep crawlspace, there's plenty of room to stash away whatever you need! And inside, it's comfortable and spacious, with a full bedroom downstairs, a generous lofted sleeping area with mountain views and additional bathroom upstairs, and a spacious kitchen/dining area with propane fridge, stove, and washer. An arctic entry in the front provides a break from the Alaskan weather and storage of snowy boots, jackets, and ski gear for the trails, while a back arctic entry has a handy ramp to move the generator out to its shed, or inside for storage, when needed. End-of-the-road privacy, 2 acres, that wilderness feel that calls all of us... with practical convenience and access.
