Description

An exceptional bluff estate offering a rare combination of scale, craftsmanship, and versatility, designed to support everything from refined daily living to multi-generational use or income potential, in one of the Mat-Su Valley's most breathtaking locations. Set on five private, wooded acres, this extraordinary property captures completely unobstructed views of the Knik Arm and the Chugach

Supplements: Mountains, and at night in the winter the lights of downtown Eagle River shine. The view stretches endlessly to the southeast. The kind of view that stops you mid-sentence. The kind that makes time slow down. The kind that recharges you every day. Ideally located just off KGB Road near Fairview Loop and Clapp Road, this property offers both privacy and accessibility, a rare combination making daily living easy while still feeling completely removed from it all. Main Residence Completed in 2003, the main residence offers 5,907 square feet of living space. It is expansive, thoughtfully designed, and built with a level of craftsmanship that is increasingly difficult to find. The home is currently configured as four bedrooms, with a simple option to restore a fifth as an office or den. With three full bathrooms and a 3/4 bath, this home offers flexibility without compromise. Two separate living areas provide natural gathering spaces, while smaller nooks throughout the home create quiet corners for reading, conversation, or simply taking in the surrounding views. The primary suite is designed as a true retreat, featuring a private bathroom with a large jetted tub and separate shower. The finishes are both elevated and enduring. Solid wood flooring, composite granite, custom tile work, and fine cabinetry are carried consistently throughout. Interior and exterior log-style finishes create a warm, grounded ambiance that feels both substantial and refined. Even the roof was selected with intention, featuring specialty Finnish shingles that set the home apart in both durability and design. At the center of the home, the chef's kitchen is designed to perform at a high level. A Viking range anchors the space, complemented by expansive work areas and abundant storage, making it equally suited for quiet evenings or full-scale entertaining. Comfort and efficiency are integrated throughout. A striking Swedish Tulikivi soapstone wood stove anchors the main living area, delivering steady, radiant heat and featuring an integrated pizza oven for both function and enjoyment. The heating system has been meticulously maintained, reinforcing long-term reliability and comfort. Above the garage, a substantial, partially finished bonus space adds another layer of opportunity. Already equipped with a wood stove, this area is ready to be completed into a third living area, studio, guest suite, or private retreat, depending on your vision. The home includes an attached three-car garage totaling 896 square feet, offering ample space for vehicles, storage, and equipment. A defining element of the home is the craftsmanship of well-known Alaskan artisan Marty Raney, who completed the interior log railings and stair systems, as well as the front porch and extensive interior and exterior rock work, adding a level of character and authenticity that is both rare and enduring. Guest House Completed in 2004, the guest house offers 2,700 square feet of living space. Designed as a fully independent home with its own well and septic systems, it mirrors the quality and character of the main residence while offering its own private and equally refined living experience. That makes it well-suited for extended family, a private guest retreat, or vacation rental use. The guest house includes two bedrooms and three bathrooms, consisting of a full bath, a 3/4 bath, and a half bath. The layout is well-considered, providing both shared living areas and private retreat spaces. The primary suite is generously sized, with natural granite finishes and a thoughtfully designed, expansive bathroom that includes a hydrotherapy air bathtub, a separate shower with low lip, and an oversized private water closet for enhanced comfort and accessibility. A screened-in porch extends from the bedroom, positioned to capture the same unobstructed, sweeping views, creating a quiet, sheltered place to relax. The second bedroom is designed as a private suite, complete with its own kitchenette, laundry, and a dedicated deck looking out to the same sweeping views, making it ideal for guests, extended family, or independent living arrangements. The guest house includes a two-car garage totaling 815 square feet, with a finished bonus space above currently used as a theater, providing additional flexible living or entertainment space. Marty Raney also contributed to the craftsmanship, completing the front porch. Detached Shop and Bonus Space Built in 2011, the detached shop offers 896 square feet of garage space, along with an additional 496 square feet of finished upper-level bonus space. The finished area does not have a dedicated water source, and bathroom plumbing is connected to an underground holding system. This space opens the door to a wide range of potential uses, whether as a studio, workspace, recreation area, or private retreat. Additional outbuildings on the property provide substantial covered storage for equipment, tools, and recreational vehicles. Grounds, Setting, and Lifestyle The setting of this property is simply exceptional. Perched along the bluff with unobstructed views of the Knik Arm and the Chugach Mountains, the landscape unfolds in a way that feels both expansive and peaceful. The southeastern exposure brings consistent light and ever-changing skies, creating a view that is as dynamic as it is calming. The outdoor living spaces are designed to be used and enjoyed year-round. A covered hot tub on the main deck offers a private place to unwind, while the wood-fired sauna provides a true Alaskan experience. A fire pit nestled within the gardens creates a natural gathering place under open skies. The landscaping is mature, intentional, and truly beautiful. Established gardens feature rose bushes, apple trees, peonies, raspberries, and abundant perennial flowers. Japanese lilac and vibrant clematis add structure and color, while a seasonal arbor bursts with yellow blooms in the summer. Near the guest house, a greenhouse with electrical service supports off-season growing. A small pond with a waterfall feature introduces a quiet sense of movement and serenity. For those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle, the property includes a chicken coop with a fenced run and electrical supply. Wildlife is a regular and welcome presence. Eagles, crows, seagulls, and even moose are frequently seen, reinforcing the connection to the surrounding natural environment. Whether envisioned as a multi-generational estate, a luxury retreat, or a high-end income-producing property, this opportunity delivers a rare combination of scale, quality, privacy, and natural beauty. It is a setting that is difficult to find, takes years to mature, and even harder to leave. And the views... they truly never stop.
