Extraordinary Alaska Retreat | Matanuska Glacier & River Frontage | As Seen on TVOnce-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own nearly 34 private, heavily forested acres with breathtaking views of the iconic Matanuska Glacier and direct frontage along the Matanuska River. This stunning hand-crafted log home is the ultimate Alaskan sanctuary, offering unmatched privacy, natural beauty, and the perfectblend of modern comfort and self-sufficient living -- and was even featured in multiple episodes of Season 2 of the hit Discovery Channel series Building Alaska! The thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home welcomes abundant natural light through expansive windows that frame the spectacular surrounding wilderness. A massive deck invites you to take in the glacier views in every season. Inside, you'll find warm, rustic character at every turn, including a private cold storage room and a rejuvenating sauna. The stunning soapstone fireplace is a true centerpiece -- an exceptionally efficient heat source that absorbs and radiates warmth long after the fire has died down, keeping the home cozy throughout even the coldest Alaska winters. The property is as functional as it is beautiful. A whole-property generator provides reliable backup power for all buildings, including the high tunnel and greenhouse. The high tunnel currently houses chicken coops but can easily be converted for growing during the season. The circular driveway provides elegant access through the mature trees, and the varied terrain -- a blend of level ground and gently sloped acreage -- offers endless possibilities. Vehicle and equipment storage is second to none, with an attached 2-car garage, a 2.5-space shop, and an additional 4-car shop -- 8 total garage spaces to house all your tools, toys, and equipment. With its dramatic glacier and river views, television notoriety, and incredible acreage, this property is a rare opportunity unlike any other -- whether you envision it as a high-end Airbnb or vacation rental, an eco-tourism or guided adventure basecamp, a wellness retreat, or simply a breathtaking full-time homestead or legacy property. Alaska's Matanuska Valley draws visitors from around the world, and this one-of-a-kind home is perfectly positioned to make the most of that demand. Properties like this simply do not come along often -- don't miss your chance to own a true piece of Alaskan history.
