Ferry, Alaska, 99743

Discover Your Slice of Quintessential Alaska!Situated just 25 miles from the entrance of Denali National Park, this unique remote cabin in Ferry, Alaska, presents a rare opportunity to claim your slice of Alaskan paradise within a secluded community. With only about 12 residences in this small village, properties like this seldom become available. Originally homesteaded in the 1980s, this enchanting remote parcel is only accessible by trail, but it also offers the best of both worlds—experience the charm of off-grid living while enjoying the comforts of modern conveniences. Thanks to power supplied by GVEA since 2005, you can relish the beauty of nature without sacrificing the amenities you love!Accessing the CabinTo reach the property, you’ll cross a 46-inch-wide & 600-foot-long footbridge along the Alaska Railroad train trestle that spans the Nenana River. In summer, the footbridge accommodates ATV use, serving as the primary access to the town of Ferry during the summer months. In winter, the Nenena River freezes sufficiently to enable snow machine crossings, providing residents with an opportunity to transport larger items. Once across, it's a 3-mile scenic ATV ride along a public 60-foot-wide gravel easement that runs parallel to the Nenana River and the railroad tracks. The parcel also features a 50' x 36' parking allotment on the west side of the Nenana River (highway side), managed by FC Corp with no annual fees. Equipped with power and with the help of modern technology, you can conveniently keep your vehicle plugged in during the cold winter months and start it from the comfort of your cabin.The Alaskan Cabin ExperienceAt the end of the easement, you’ll find a stunning two-story cabin featuring upper and lower wrap-around decks that offer breathtaking panoramic views of the Northern Lights in winter and on clear days, the spectacular Alaska Range year-round. Completed in 2005, the cabin welcomes you into a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, including a dishwasher, refrigerator, oven, and microwave. The full bathroom is designed with a stand-up shower, bathtub, vanity, and toilet. The cozy downstairs living room features a sectional couch, recliner, and a 70" flat-screen smart TV, setting the cozy atmosphere for relaxing family nights. Gather around the wood stove for a Netflix & chill streaming experience amidst the serene call of the wild! A modern WiFi compatible Toyo heater ensures a comfortable temperature even during the coldest Alaskan nights.Upstairs, you'll discover the main bedroom, featuring a queen-sized mattress and frame, a flat-screen TV, closet space, and a door leading to the upper balcony. This balcony offers breathtaking views of the Northern Lights in winter with the stunning Alaska Range in the distance.Additionally, there are two more bedrooms, one with a full-sized mattress and the other with a queen-sized mattress. One of these rooms also provides access to the upper balcony, overlooking the front lawn and the trail entrance.Conveniently located in the upstairs corridor between the main bedroom and the children's rooms, the laundry room is equipped with a washer and dryer, along with storage space in the hallway closets.Wildlife and Natural BeautyThis property is a wildlife enthusiast's dream, with frequent visits from bull moose and opportunities to observe mother moose and their calves grazing in the summer. On the east side of the lot, beavers diligently build their lodges, while a keen eye may spot a lynx or, if you’re lucky, a wolverine. Wolf tracks can often be seen, and their howls can be heard echoing in the distance. This haven is rich with wildlife and must be treated with respect, as grizzly bears have been spotted nearby.Endless Outdoor ActivitiesWith Denali National Park just a 30-minute drive down the Parks Highway, outdoor recreational activities are virtually limitless!
