Several nearby landing options for pilots include a gravel airstrip only 0.1± miles from the property line. Thoughtfully developed with deep respect for the natural surroundings, this turnkey homestead features a 2,600± square foot modern main home and three beautifully crafted log cabins, all set up for comfortable, off-grid living.

Whether you're seeking a serene retreat, a launchpad for adventure tourism, or a unique investment property, this extraordinary slice of Alaskan paradise offers it all privacy, access, history, and potential.
