    What's special

    Rare Meadow Creek frontage with Hatcher Pass views in the gated Oasis at Birch Lake. One of only a handful of homes overlooking the creek, this new construction ranch offers mountain views, Northern Lights viewing, private lake and creek access, RV parking, and direct access to Big Lake recreation. Enjoy single-level living, quality finishes, and unmatched Alaska scenery right from your backyard.NEW CONSTRUCTION on Meadow Creek! Set within the secure gated community of The Oasis at Birch Lake, this exceptional creekfront property offers a rare opportunity to own a front-row seat to some of Alaska's most spectacular natural beauty. Sweeping views stretch across Meadow Creek toward Hatcher Pass, while more than 8 acres of protected wilderness across the water provide a private backdrop that will remain untouched for years to come. Expansive picture windows bring the outdoors in, filling the home with natural light and showcasing the ever-changing Alaska landscape. Enjoy peaceful sunrises from the covered patio as swans and sandhill cranes gather along the creek below, then spend evenings watching the mountains glow in the distance. During Alaska's darker months, the property provides an incredible vantage point for viewing the Northern Lights dancing above Hatcher Pass. Designed for comfort, functionality, and effortless everyday living, this thoughtfully crafted ranch home features an open-concept layout, 10-foot ceilings, an elegant arched hallway, and a vaulted sunroom or second living area that creates a spacious, airy feel throughout. Wide hallways, generous room sizes, and a seamless single-level floor plan make the home equally suited for entertaining, hosting guests, or simply enjoying day-to-day life. At the heart of the home, the stunning kitchen features quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a custom built-in dining table designed for gathering family and friends. High-end finishes throughout include accent lighting, a stone-surround fireplace, solid-surface windowsills, hand-finished wood-grain doors, and a customizable display niche ready for a wine bar, cabinetry, artwork, or personal touches. The spacious primary suite was designed to maximize both comfort and views, offering a large walk-in closet and an impressive ensuite bath with a custom tiled walk-in shower. A second generously sized bedroom, full guest bathroom, oversized laundry room, and oversized double-bay garage provide flexibility, storage, and convenience for year-round Alaska living. Built with Alaska's seasons in mind, this Five-Star-Plus Energy Rated home includes an HRV system, ceiling fans, opening windows for summer airflow, in-floor heat, and a natural gas fireplace to keep the home comfortable and efficient throughout the year. Outside, full landscaping, low-maintenance vinyl siding with stone accents, a covered entry, and a spacious concrete patio create an ideal setting for relaxing or entertaining. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee overlooking the creek, watching wildlife along the shoreline, or hosting friends on a summer evening, the setting is truly one-of-a-kind. Life at The Oasis is about more than the home itself. Residents enjoy private lake and creek access within a secure gated community, creating endless opportunities for recreation right outside your door. Walk down to the creek to watch salmon make their seasonal journey, launch a kayak and float toward Big Lake, or spend the afternoon swimming, paddleboarding, and exploring the community's private non-motorized lake. Big Lake itself is just minutes away, offering world-class boating, fishing, snowmachining, and year-round outdoor recreation. An RV parking space is included, with options to add a roof or fully enclose the space for additional cost. Monthly dues cover road maintenance, gated access, common area upkeep, RV parking, and private lake and creek amenities, making ownership simple and low maintenance. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or a place to fully embrace Alaska's outdoor lifestyle, this creekfront property offers a combination of scenery, privacy, recreation, and quality that is exceptionally difficult to find.
