Own a True Alaskan Masterpiece! Nestled on 4.96 private acres just off Cripple Creek, this custom 4 bedroom, 2 bath log home offers the perfect blend of rustic character and modern comfort. Move-in ready with a brand-new septic system, this one of a kind property showcases exceptional craftsmanship, space, and the lifestyle you’ve been looking for. Inside, the home features a beautifully remodeled kitchen with cherry cabinets, granite countertops, abundant workspace, and new flooring throughout, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere during the long winter months. The spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet, while two living areas provide plenty of room to relax, entertain, and gather. Outside, enjoy a large, well-maintained yard with established perennial beds and space for recreation, gardening, projects, and outdoor adventures. The property includes an additional log-style garage with Conex storage and a covered 2 car parking area. After a day outside, unwind in the private sauna while taking in the crisp northern air and the beauty of the night sky. Built with pride and attention to detail, this home is truly one of a kind. The logs were sourced from the Nenana area and crafted by Log Weavers, known for projects including the Fairbanks Dog Mushers Hall and Sheep Creek Lodge. The hand-selected rock foundation was gathered from the Elliot Highway, and the interior was thoughtfully finished by the seller to create a warm, rustic retreat. The hand-carved totem pole at the end of the driveway has become a neighborhood landmark since it was created by a local resident in the early 1980s. Enjoy year round heating flexibility with an oil/wood/coal furnace, allowing you to choose your preferred heat source. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate nearby access to Bonanza Creek Trail, the Isberg Trail System, and surrounding trail networks for skiing, hiking, and recreation. Adding even more character is the charming “little red goat” shed, a piece of Fairbanks’ old gold-era history, offering endless possibilities for storage, hobbies, or a unique conversation piece. This is more than a home, it’s Living Alaska at its finest!
