Homes like this don't come to market — they're discovered. Custom-built and positioned high on Ester Dome, this tri-level retreat commands panoramic Tanana Valley views that stretch from Denali to the Delta Bluffs, framed through oversized windows in nearly every room. Inside, hand-crafted burl wood accents are woven throughout the main living space — from the detailing to the finishes — paired with tongue-and-groove ceilings and rich custom woodwork that give this home a character you simply cannot replicate. Just inside the main entrance, a convenient half bath opens to a central hallway that leads into an intimate view-side sitting area with direct access to the deck overlooking the valley. From there, the home unfolds into a completely open kitchen, dining and living space surrounded by an abundance of windows that fill the interior with natural light and keep the scenery at the center of daily life. The functional kitchen offers generous pantry and storage space along with bar seating that connects naturally to the gathering areas without interrupting the open flow. A custom wood staircase accented with burl wood posts leads to the primary suite, where panoramic views are visible from the moment you wake. The attached bath features a jetted soaking tub, separate tiled walk-in shower and a cleverly concealed laundry chute that delivers clothing directly to the laundry area below. On the garage level, the oversized two-bay heated garage can accommodate up to three vehicles while still providing workshop space, an indoor gardening area, laundry room, water-storage tank and an additional half bath—placing a restroom on every level of the main home. A trail from the rear of the garage leads down to the large, usable greenhouse, which is fully plumbed for water and includes additional materials on site for continued finishing. Follow the path farther and you’ll find the separate loft-style A-frame cabin, complete with a full bath, established rental history and its own private driveway entrance from Ullrbahn. Whether used for income, guests, creative space or extended living, the cabin adds another layer of versatility to this one-of-a-kind property. Set on nearly an acre with no HOA, this private Ester Dome compound offers exceptional views, income potential, workspace and handcrafted Alaska character in one unforgettable setting. Located near Ester Dome recreation, approximately 10 minutes from UAF and 20 minutes from downtown Fairbanks. Appointment required. Home is a 1 bedroom 1.5 bath, with an unfinished bathroom.
