Engineered for exceptional quality and thoughtfully designed for comfortable Alaska living, this custom-built home is a rare combination of craftsmanship, efficiency, and self-sufficiency. Built in 2005, this impressive 3,912-square-foot residence sits on 6.5 scenic acres with beautiful views, just 25 minutes from Fairbanks. Enjoy the peace and privacy of country living without sacrificing convenient access to town. The property also features an approximately 900-square-foot heated garage, a substantial post-and-beam barn, and infrastructure designed for both everyday comfort and long-term durability. The spacious open-concept floor plan is warm and inviting, centered around a stunning masonry heater with a built-in pizza oven that provides efficient radiant warmth throughout the home. Radiant in-floor heat, a heat recovery ventilation (HRV) system for balanced fresh air, central vacuum, dedicated IT wiring, and a generous mechanical room reflect the careful planning behind every aspect of the home’s design. The walkout lower level currently operates as a successful Airbnb, generating approximately $10,000 annually, while also offering excellent potential as a mother-in-law apartment, guest quarters, or private living space. Originally landscaped by a former University of Alaska Botanical Gardens employee, the grounds feature established raised garden beds, native Alaskan flowers and shrubs, and a thoughtfully engineered rainwater collection system. Rainwater is collected and pumped to an elevated storage tank, creating a gravity-fed irrigation system that efficiently waters the gardens throughout the growing season. A 2,500-gallon water reservoir, dual water tank locations, copper plumbing throughout, plumbing expansion for future additions, and a generator connection provide peace of mind and exceptional preparedness. Built to thrive in Alaska’s demanding climate, the home incorporates integrated steel structural supports, durable steel siding with a lifetime warranty, Trex decking, and lighted driveway markers for year-round convenience. The heated garage includes a dehumidifier and oversized heated storage room, while the fully wired chicken coop, root cellar, and functional post-and-beam barn with upper and lower levels make this property equally suited for hobby farming, gardening, equipment storage, or a true homestead lifestyle. Every detail of this property reflects careful planning, quality construction, and long-term thinking. Whether you’re looking for a beautifully designed family home, an income-producing opportunity, or a property that supports a more self-reliant lifestyle, this exceptional estate offers the perfect balance of modern comfort, enduring craftsmanship, and Alaska-ready infrastructure.
