Imagine living on the ocean, watching the whales swim, the eagles fly, the salmon jumping out of the water from the deck of your hand-built log home. A true Alaskan dream with 2-lots and a dry cabin. This home has been a work of love and dedication for 41 years. Enjoy the bespoke features like the built-in cookbook holder that hangs from the top cupboard, leaving your counter space available. The built-in chests of drawers in the primary bedroom, the built-in book shelves in the two office areas at the top of the spiral staircase. There are built-in covered shelves by both the front and back doors. The kitchen stays cozy and warm with the small Joul wood stove on it's own natural rock hearth. It even has a small cook top in case the power goes out. There is a brand new fireplace insert in the living area surrounded by a beautiful stone (locally sourced) hearth and three levels of windows that face the water, letting the light and views fill the space. There are so many personal touches that make this home special from the pegs for hanging your coats next to the front door, to the same type of pegs that will be perfect for holding your towel in the bathroom. There are many oil lamps hung on the walls for a romantic feel, or to supplement the electric lights or are perfect to use in case of a power outage. This home was built to last. It offers an elevated level of living in harmony with the environment from being set back slightly in the trees, but you still have stunning water views. You will find locally sourced rocks that make up the sealed stone floor in the bathroom, along with a 6-foot built-in claw foot tub. The cross braces in the vaulted ceiling were locally sourced just for this purpose. There is a spacious loft for a main bedroom, complete with a separate area for two desks and office space, along with built-in bookshelves.

You will find a dry cabin with a new wood stove on an adjoining lot. This cabin doesn't have water or electricity, but can be used as a camping cabin, storage, or a great hang out for a studio or an office. In the past the owners have run an extension cord out to the cabin for electricity. There are so many great uses for this cabin. You will even find the original model for the log home as it was conceived by the builder. You will find a large old wood shed on the property with lots of seasoned dry wood. The owners put in a garden area where you will find an established rhubarb patch. There is a separate deck at the water's edge. The home is accessible by the 75 stars down, but the owners have even built-in small seats for taking a break halfway up the stairs, or for staging items part of the way up and down if you have a large load. There is a 3 season 4-wheel drive shared driveway as well. You can even park out of the weather under the deck with a smaller vehicle, or park on the pad built at the bottom of the drive.
