    What's special

    Experience remote Alaska living from this custom handcrafted log cabin overlooking the south side of beautiful Jan Lake. Situated on two tracts totaling 7.45 acres, this self sufficient and unique property offers exceptional privacy, sweeping views of the Wrangell Mountains, and direct lake access with your maintained trail and private dock. Owner finance possible with 100K down and terms.The custom 10-inch D-log cabin showcases natural wood craftsmanship throughout, including diamond willow accents, burl details, live-edge features, a custom kitchen, breakfast nook, and a spacious loft bedroom. Cabin footprint is 24 x 18 with approx. 940-950 sq ft and the bathhouse is another 360 sq ft. Built for not just aesthetics but life in Alaska, the cabin is insulated well. Attic is R40 and the floor is R25. The windows are top notch, double pane and pressurized. The cabin is built tight. The 1500 sq ft cantilevered deck is diamond willow and burl picketed. The seller is completing some repairs on the lower deck and will have that complete prior to sale. A separate heated bathhouse provides a Nature's Head composting toilet, clawfoot cast iron soaking tub plus shower, and a roughed-in sauna ready for future completion. The sauna room is framed, sheet rocked and wired (Bosch on-demand hot water) and is roughed in, only needs the cedar interior to finish. The owner says "It's all wired and taken care of to be a sauna." It has a 105-gallon water tank, pump, filters, on-demand (tankless) hot water heater - and is heated by its own mini Toyo stove. Although it is not completely finished or hooked up, it has a more than generous start to it. Plumbing is present but not commissioned. Designed for year-round off-grid living, the property is powered by a solar energy system with battery storage and an automatic backup Honda 8500 generator with low hours that automatically starts is the solar cant carry the load. There is a 55 gallon oil drum for the generator that the seller says lasted all winter. There is also a woodstove in the generator shed. Two Toyo oil stoves provide efficient heat (one is cabin and one in the bathhouse, while the lake-fed water system serves the bathhouse and offers the infrastructure for additional improvements. Jan Lake is stocked with rainbow trout and landlocked coho, making it an outstanding destination for fishing and outdoor recreation. Access is available by floatplane with an established dock or by seasonal overland routes using snow machine, ATV, or Argo. Additional features include a generator/workshop building, custom decking overlooking the lake, and owner financing may be considered with $100K down and acceptable terms. Owner states that they have flown in with a De Havilland Beaver and a Cessna 206 on floats. Want to talk fishing? Jan Lake is stocked and there are rainbow trout and landlocked silvers. The best fishing spot? The owner says 'right off the doc' because it is the deepest spot on the lake. Wildlife? Absolutely! The Nelchina caribou herd passes through (hundreds) and there was a Boone and Crocket bull about a quarter mile from the cabin. There are lots of small game and moose also in the area and blueberries all over. Overland access in winter is roughly 7 miles by snow machine Summer access is roughly 11 miles (due to lakes). Also reachable by 4 wheeler or Argo-those trips are 1.5-2 hours trips. In winter, if you keep a groomed trail, it can take about 15-20 minutes. Chitina/ Copper Basin recording area. Unorganized borough so NO TAXES. Buyers are encouraged to verify access, utilities, wastewater systems, square footage, and all property information to their satisfaction.
