The quintessential Alaskan home: a log construction of excellent quality, multiple outbuildings including sauna, gear room, and processing/canning kitchen, as well as a 4-stall log horse-barn currently used for storage and dogs... all on multiple acres at the end of the road on Lazy Mountain. You couldn't ask for much more for the Alaskan Dream.The home itself boasts boasts over 2, 200 square feet on two floors and has been updated and meticulously maintained, with lovingly selected details including tilework in the downstairs bathroom, a custom ladder to access the storage loft in the spare bedroom upstairs, and lovely tilework in the in-room sink for the primary bedroom. The living room feels spacious with soaring double-height ceilings and a woodstove that can keep the entire house warm. The kitchen has a generous L-shaped layout with island and plenty of space for dining, and there's one spare bedroom plus an office downstairs. Upstairs you'll find the very large primary bedroom, a spare bedroom currently used as an office/craft room, and a final spare bedroom with storage loft. The main home is lovely, very well-kept, and a classic example of a finer Alaskan log home. Outside, it's the grounds and outbuildings, combined with the Lazy Mountain location, that make this property truly one-of-a-kind in the MatSu market. The large barn has four stalls ready to go for toy and vehicle storage, workspace, and one small dog kennel, or could be converted back to horse stalls very easily. There's a greenhouse and raised beds for vegetables, and carefully maintained flower beds around the front and side of the house. To one side of the house, the sauna sits beside a maintained fire-ring area with a border of stacked logs. The game processing and canning kitchen is highly functional, with a walk-in cooler, full size range and sink, and extensive counter space. There's a heated and insulated 'gear room' with cabinets and storage, and a twin space connected to it that is partially but not fully completed, should one want to double the "gear" space in the future. A 20kw diesel back-up generator is on hand to keep the whole house going in case of a power outage. The perimeter of the property is partially fenced, including some sections of electric fencing. It's plenty of property to keep a family busy and provide the ideal base for all kinds of activities. At the end of the road on Borough-maintained Mars av, you'll be just a few hundred yards from the pavement of Clark-Wolverine Road, and five minutes from downtown Palmer. Lazy Mountain is a special rural community, tight-knit and highly desirable, with a spectacular location at the base of its namesake peak and easy access to Palmer, Wasilla, and Anchorage - one of the few areas within commute distance to Anchorage that have maintained a truly rural feel, without suburban development. It is safe to say that nothing comparable to this property will come on the market in the MatSu Valley this summer - this one is truly unique.
