We Bought an Abandoned Cabin in Alaska: Our First Look Inside

[@Gr8tLakesHuntnFish]

Older airstream are highly collectable in the lower 48 at any condition. Do yourself a favor a research it.

My husband and I sold a 1979 airstream in Indiana with problems got 5 thousand dollars for it!

[@cinbird6284]

The Airstream looks repairable, and as these comments say, it is popular among collectors. Refinished it could be a unique experience for tourists and your family.

[@jeffryshadwick1798]

That Airstream is a piece of gold. It can be fixed up and sold or kept as a guest place for who ever!! Always nice to keep something like that because they were built so well!!

Word to the wise tear it down. Years ago me and my family lived in a mobile home that had mold behind the fridge that we could not see initially. Well to make a long story short my wife developed walking pneumonia followed by asthma and has had problems ever since. You have a beautiful wife and baby don't let them ever go in there again just tear it down it's not worth it. Don't play with mold the mold is going to win. Great video!

[@GoodLivingAlaska]

Thanks for watching and sharing your information and story 😊! Sorry to hear about your wife. Hope she is doing better!

[@tarat26]

Completely agree. Not worth risking health of your little one and family. I know friends whom have passed away here in the UK England, in houses with hidden damp damage and mould. Would be cheaper to pull it down and start over instead of doing up to make it livable. Incredible adventure and land though. Huge congrats xx

[@Vault57]

So, they lived in an unrestored trailer? People who restore these completely gut them first. Clean them. Then rebuild the interiors. Mold shouldn't be an issue for someone interested in restoring the trailer. It would be more or less expected.

[@annmarieschantz9724]

My late husband and I lived in an old airstream like that..the property looks like it was someone's dream that never was completed. You could fix up the airstream for a rbnb. Can't wait to see the rest. I've always wanted to go to Alaska.

@@GoodLivingAlaska To Airstream restorers, they are worth a LOT. With one having good bones, good outdoor siding, I think they are worth about 5K and up. The buyer will have to take it "as is", and haul it off on their own dime.

It looks completely restorable it's metal frame. Practically got it already. You wouldn't have to do it tomorrow, but it looks completely restorable in a way that would make it just amazing. And there are groups online where they have completely redone old rotted out places and made them gorgeous. And the house from the outside looks good too. Take a lot of elbow grease to fix it up. But looks like you got yourself a heck of a deal.

[@TRS-80Fanclub]

You found gold, The Airstream has a huge following. Repair, refinish wouldn't cost much as it is 100 percent wrapped under and around in full aluminum. No other trailer is built like these. The sloppy wear and tear can be cleaned and repaired. Repaired they fetch 17-40k probably the most profit on the property investment.

[@TrumanMarloweJr]

Due to the mole, decay, structural issues, strip it bare of the things that can be used, and tear it down. You might be able to salvage some lumber out of it, if even only for firewood. Sometimes it is easier to begin a new than to try and fix someone elses mistakes, and generally cheaper too. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

There a couple campers made like that one, all are worth fixing up. Biggest reason is the outer shells are aluminum, and don't rust or leak. I'd gut it, re-do it and use it for a place to stay while you ix the cabin. I'd gut it, and re-do all the plumbing and the wiring for sure. Fix the bad parts of the roof, add some exterior insulation and some siding, and after rough in of wiring and plumbing, just fix one room at a time. Of all of it, the moisture in the crawlspace would be my biggest concern. But over time, it can be made really nice, lot's of KZbin content if you are DIY'ers. First time on your channels, gonna subscribe so I can learn more about your family and what you do.

New sub. Looks like a great beginning with the infrastructure already in place. It will be great to see the property in the summer. If it was me I'd strip the structure down to the studs stripping the roof, flooring and siding of all the rotted OSB and scrap the exterior staircase and build one inside using materials sourced from the property. It definitely has lots of potential. By the way the trailer is an Airstream probably 60's or maybe even 50's. They have value to collectors but as it sits with some repair it would be a great dry storage or even a place for a guest to bed down. Good luck with this project.

[@GoodLivingAlaska]

Thanks for watching and subbing 😊! Appreciate all of your suggestions! Those are good ideas for the airstream!

I lived in Anchorage for three years and got married there. My wife and I chose to move back to NH to be closer to family. Personally I would tear down the cabin . Not knowing what condition the wood is in and any structural support surprises. More of a peace of mind thing.

So sorry that happened. I’m sure you are disappointed. I’d sure as heck be. Mad at him too.

[@peggyhunton3513]

I know what that feels like. My mom sold her family property right out from under my sister and I. Doing ancestry research, I discovered her ancestors left 11 generations of Earldom in Scotland to help settle Virginia, before it was divided. They helped settle Ritchie County.

[@rowebil00]

I'm not really that mad, the property was almost 3 hours away. It was just my place away from home, I used to go frequently, have a hoagie, water, and cigar. It was so secluded I could get changed into shorts in the middle of the property and no one saw a thing because it was surrounded by trees. There was a lot of overgrowth and rattlesnakes that I came very close to one day and luckily was not bit, but I was very close... It takes half an hour to get up the mountain... so while it was nice, we never really visited as much as it was worth. The only problem was we were told as kids that we would get the property and can bring our own kids, and now that I'm 31 I see that future being more realistic and now it is not an option :( Another thing is our memories are there. The very first powerwheels I had was still up there.

[@Codger2015]

Definitely your best bet is to tear it down, salvage what can be used for a new building, and walk away from all the possible headaches you most certainly will encounter to try a renovation.

Wiring is easy once you understand the basics not even something to be concerned about general into something like that you just got it all out and start over that way you know what you’ve got eliminate any problems. Mold can be treated in that small little bedroom behind the kitchen, but that situation because the cabin need so much other interior work. I would just got out the entire interior come in frame, new walls and re-sheet rock everything.

If there was only a ‘69 Mustang on the property also. Where is this actually located? How many acres? Use crawl space as a wine cellar.🤔 That place you should tear it down and get something from scratch all your own. I wanted to see upstairs. Would love there permanently? Thanks for taking us along.

I am so happy for you both and your upcoming adventures. I will be here for the long run as I love these types of channels. May I ask, how did you go about finding this property? I am an older guy that just doesn't seem to understand the searching aspect to the internet. I would love to find a situation much like yours but I haven't got the slightest clue as to going about it, where to look, who to ask?? I have tried writing to many channels where they are living off grid. They never respond and it seems like it's a secret only they want to have? At any rate, if you have a chance, could you respond with some help? Thank You so much and May God Bless you and your family and may you thrive in your new adventure!!!

[@GoodLivingAlaska]

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it 😊! Hoping you follow us on more adventures! We just researched online and looked at real estate/land sites around our area. You could maybe also talk to a realtor and tell them what you are looking for. Hope this helps a little. Alaska is a little different bc there are more properties like the one we purchased than other states.

[@RealPeterGunn]

@@GoodLivingAlaska Thank you so much for your very helpful advice. One last question, what do you call your type of property? May God Bless!!

Loved the video. Looks like a nice property. All the snow is beautiful . I bet you could strip down that cabin and redo it. RV too if the underneath is solid.

Vintage Airstreams are really valuable. Don't junk it. There's a huge market for trailers like the one you have, despite its current condition. There are original parts inside (such as the vanity) that are no longer available and are worth good money to people who restore them. Do a little research on it. You'll see you're sitting on a little goldmine. Congrats 👏

[@GoodLivingAlaska]

Thanks for watching and for the information 😊! Good to think about the original parts inside!

[@martinaoreilly5419]

100% agree. As soon as I saw the Airstream that's the first thing I thought of. Those are what people want now and folks will pay a lot of moolah just to get their hands on one. Don't toss it (coz that would be a shame) but at least sell it and focus on what is the priority for the property. IMO..... but nobody ever listens to me anyway lol

[@danieljackson4266]

That's w hy I came to the comments. That Airstream is worth money. @@GoodLivingAlaska

[@sandy_sd10]

I agree about the Airstream trailer. Don't junk that. Sell it. Some folks would love it.

[@roxannern9393]

Looks like the house we bought in the North borough of Ketchikan 7 years ago. It is only 1/4 the size though. We completely remodeled the place for a little over 100k. Took the make-shift 2nd story off and added a new one. Ended up with a 4 bed 3 bath new home. We also bought for the location and land. Not sure what you paid for the land.....but looks like you got an Alaska original! LOL! I love AK.

[@GoodLivingAlaska]

Thanks so much for watching and sharing 😊! Sounds nice and gives us hope 😊! Ha ha it probably is an Alaska original !

@@sgrvtl7183 it looks like an airstream?

[@shannonfisher6415]

@@sgrvtl7183Airstream campers are highly sought after and can be worth quite a bit of money, even in that condition. They are often rebuilt and worth a mint. Before junking it… do some looking into it.

Yeah Airstreams are valuable, don't "junk it". Make someone ridiculously happy and sell it. Then they can give it the love it deserves. It even has much of the original MCM fixtures. A beauty.

[@GoodLivingAlaska]

Living your dream...you guys are brave. I agree with tearing the cabin down and starting from scratch. If you want to restore something imo I would fix up the airstream. At least you have a sound structure. Whatever you decide... good luck. It's going to take alot of patience. Thanks for sharing your journey!!!!😊😊

People are restoring those old airstream trailors. some are liftiing the shell off and removng all the floorng and taking it down to the frame. It may have value still.

Fix up the air stream for storage and work shop. Wouldn’t toss it.

[@tammystark6364]

Commenter before me said airstreams are collectibles and they are right. I have been camper hunting and have seen many of them that even gutted are bringing upwards of 5 to 9 thousand. Course this is down in Wisconsin. But it might be a nice add to your budget

[@GoodLivingAlaska]

Thanks so much for sharing and for the information 😊! That's interesting! Thanks for watching!

[@CousinTito]

Well the house looks like a definite tear down, you might be able to salvage what you can (like the furniture, I think it just turned into a storage space) but I wouldn't trust the frame at all. Best to start new, could build up the foundation and use the footprint. Also just a one story, I don't know what's going on with that separate entrance 2nd floor set up. Needs higher ceilings and if you plan a second story of course INSIDE stairs lol! The Airstream I'm sure some enthusiast will buy to restore, and you can get that trailer working. The boat might still be in decent shape to use if you plan to. But nice property!

[@GoodLivingAlaska]
