The middle level, access via a short flight of stairs which lead to a spectacular sunroom, was the original log home, before the foundation and lower level were added in the 1990s. There's a comfortable living room and kitchen, with plenty of windows and beautiful light. The primary bedroom is on the top level, accessed up the stairs from the living room.

The sunroom is passively heated by the sun and is warm and toasty on all but the very coldest days of winter. Its wall of windows frame the spectacular view across the East Fork of the Matanuska River, up into the Chugach Mountains.

The property is level and extremely usable, with much of the 10 acres already cleared in a lovely field, which holds the home at the northwest corner, looking out to the southwest for the best afternoon and evening light. Next to the house is a shop and garage, with plenty of room for a truck and lots of toys and tools (photos coming soon). Down the driveway are two dry cabins: one is a lovely single room with a bed, sofa, stove for cooking and kitchen table. The other is the bunkhouse, with a woodstove and sleeping space for six. Both have simple sinks with a graywater drain system to drywells outside. The entire property is sold furnished, less personal possessions, shop contents, and artwork on the walls.

It's just under 1.5 hours to groceries, services, and everything you need in Palmer, and just over 2 hours to even more of everything you need in Anchorage. Glacier View Elementary is 20 minutes away, and despite the remote location, there's a tight-knit community spread along the highway which you can be a part of. Property is in Sheep Mountain, at Mile 111.5 on the Glenn Highway (address reads Chickaloon because of USPS / AlaskaMLS systems).

This is truly a piece of Alaskan history - it's very rare to find an original Alaskan cabin, lovingly maintained and improved by a single owner to become a fully-fledged and comfortable on-grid home, with acreage, views, and accessibility. It's a lovely combination of cabin and comfort, wilderness and practical accessibility. Call your Alaska real estate licensee of choice to set up a showing, and become the second owner!
