1310 Cripple Creek Rd, Fairbanks, AK 99709

Remarkable opportunity to own a beautiful home nearly 8 acres property that includes has a separate commercial food processing facility and several acres of cleared farm land! Located only 10 miles from Fairbanks International Airport in the foothills of Ester above the ice fog, the property was used as a fully functioning commercial dairy and a certified organic vegetable farm. All a new owner has to do is bring in the livestock or plant the fields or convert the dairy building into a new food processing plant and you could be earning income here within weeks of moving in! Alternatively, the fields and outbuildings can easily be converted into a beautiful living space for a large family or into a new business endeavor. The exceptionally energy-efficient farm house is over 2500 sf and has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a loft, with timber frame details and birch trim throughout. It also has a full basement that has a flexbible space – use it as an office, art studio or add another bedroom – with access from the ground level. The basement also includes a room currently serving as a cheese cave. This space naturally maintains a temperature close to 50 F year around. The 2000 sf commercial dairy building meets Grade A and Alaska Raw Milk regulations was designed for 6 cows, but could easily accomodate more. There are two interior milking stanchions, all of the processing and storage equipment needed for a dairy, a commercial kitchen, and a store-front room. The building also has a full bathroom. Three large banks of solar panels attached to the building work year-round to generate electricity to sell back to the grid. Redundancy features throughout the dairy keep cows and milk products safe in case of power outages and the dairy has a water and septic system separate from the farm house. Large eaves provide covered space for farm equipment. Sale of the dairy equipment could offset much of the cost of converting to a different commercial food production facility, or additional living space for a large family, or a rental unit. Flexibility for future use was taken into consideration in the design of this facility. There are also numerous outbuildings on the property including a detached 1000 sf garage with attic storage, a high-tunnel greenhouse suitable for growing warm-weather crops, shelter for animals, or storing hay. An open-bay shed was the original cow barn. This was later used for calves. There is also a root cellar to keep your family’s food secure through winter. The field is currently surrounded by a high-tensile electric fence to keep cows in and other critters out. Access to the property is on a well-maintained road only one mile from the Parks Highway and the driveway is looped and only gently-sloped so that 40’ trucks or pickups with large trailers can access the farm building and fields easily. This property wont last long on the market so make your appointment soon!
