SOLD: Alaskan Cabin in Paradise located in Chickaloon with a Creek!

[@TianaManeO]

After 52 years in California and 5 in Alabama, I bought a house in my first year here with no issues. The experience was far better than buying property in California, which I found over-regulated and over-taxed. I wish I had moved sooner. My friend did the same but worked with an adviser, which helped him avoid the problems I faced. I regret not taking that step myself.

[@Erikkurilla01]

It sounds like your move to Alabama has been a positive one, especially when compared to your experience in California. The difference in property-buying processes and regulations seems to have made a big impact. It's understandable to feel some regret about not having worked with an adviser earlier, especially after seeing how much smoother it made your friend's experience. In hindsight, you’ve gained valuable insight into the importance of guidance when making big decisions like property investments.

[@KentBrono]

I've worked with a financial analyst since I started investing in stocks, which has greatly improved my returns. Just like in real estate, knowing when to buy or sell can be challenging. My adviser has helped grow my portfolio by over 90% in just over a year. I understand your regret about not having an adviser when buying property, as expert guidance can lead to better results.

[@jessicasquire]

Sounds interesting! Please can you leave the info of your lnvestment advsor here? I’m in dire need for one

[@randyross4298]

Ok; where’s the winter video? How often are the roads plowed? Get the drift?

[@johntossing624]

Are those windows single, double or triple pane? Is the road to the cabin county maintained in the winter?

[@TopiaRealtyLifeinAlaska]

Yes the road is borough maintained. Most are double paned, the corner window are 2 solid pieces of glass that join.

[@rickkeys2345]

If that Creek runs year round hydroelectric is definitely a possibility

[@thesun-N-moon8885]

I doubt it . This is Alaska, right? It’s probably half frozen oven

[@TopiaRealtyLifeinAlaska]

It actually does run through the winter, I've heard it running every year under the snow/ice. I am sure on the occasion we get -20 for an extended time it may freeze for a short while.

No, it does stay moving most of the year, I didn’t hear it when we had -20 for a prolonged time.

[@josephinebustos8074]

The windows aren’t double or triple-panes, so it’s not great in trapping heat inside; meaning bad for cold weather places.

[@MrTonyPiscatelle]

So what is that electrical meter base doing on the side of this off grid cabin ?

[@billstapleton1084]

Beautiful place. If I was interested, I would need to invest another $100,000 dollars just to make it livable. Solar panels would work in the summer but not the winter. Need a septic system.

[@TimothiWin]

*what are those high pitched sounds?*

[@John-w9m8d]

Gorgeous property. Though at this price I personally think Solar And back up Generator should be included and set up to run. Any fish in the creek?

[@TopiaRealtyLifeinAlaska]

A generator and shed are fully wired in and ready to go. No fish in this creek. There are trout in the nearby lakes.

[@Beverly-e4z]

In 1997 we bought a property in Alaska right outside of Palmer. 17 acres, pasture, 1800 sq ft. house (connected to the grid) and a 2700 sq. ft. shop/barn. We were in a bidding war and won! Total cost was $210,000. The real estate cost in Alaska are horrible. They're pricing property right out of the market.

[@homerfantastic]

Its like that everywhere

[@Chris-zo5ze]

This is such a funny statement... The "market" is what determines the price. It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it, which is usually pretty close to what it's listed for... Not always, but usually.

[@jamesseltenreich652]

That’s so dark in the winter, I’ve been in Alaska 57 years and that’s why I live in willow, Sutton area is dark and cold in the winter 🥶

[@thesun-N-moon8885]

Sounds awesome then…

[@TopiaRealtyLifeinAlaska]

I wouldn't say Chickaloon is colder than willow, and the darkness just depends on where the property is located. There is a lot of varying topography and positioning to the mountains that changes if you completely lose the sun or not (and for how long). But all areas of Alaska are so different and that's fun to discover which spot is right for you!

[@gailjohnson7406]

How close is this property to Chickaloon Lake? My Great Aunt owned a cabin there many years ago.

[@TopiaRealtyLifeinAlaska]

It is not far from the public access point or Tract A for Fish Lake. Walking distance or short drive.

[@ernesthallett8003]

$250,000.00 not if I have to do anything to fix up a cabin…. Take up the must haves like septic, running water, a kitchen…. All the willows should be on the top floor and not where a 5-800 lbs grizzly can walk around and break in,, specially in the CORNER which has very little structural benefits…. How would you like to wake up to the sound of a grizzly breaking in the cabin??? $100,000.00 AT BEST if I have to do all that work, so that is a big fat NO for me at any price…… Good luck selling this place you’re going to need it……

[@fatdad8049]

[@ernesthallett8003]

Maybe take a class in structural engineering, financial management or ask someone the power of grizzlies have,,, be productive instead of stupid comments that you know nothing about… Like I said I would not buy this so you are free to buy it and sink all the money you want into it. Not paying that for a 1 bedroom, no running water, no bathroom and no kitchen you would have to be crazy or won the lottery and have no F in clue about money. Little tip for ya, you want money to make money not use money only to use more money….

Nice cabin, yet way to ridiculous with the price. And what's up with claiming it's set up for generator when there is a power meter installed? How high is the outstanding electric bill?

[@TopiaRealtyLifeinAlaska]

There is electric to the property, but it is not run up to the cabin. It is only setup for a generator at this time, the meter is not actually hooked up to grid power.

[@Caveman85de]

@@TopiaRealtyLifeinAlaska Might be different in Alaska, but in the rest of the World the meter itself is property of the power company and they only install it when the line is run. So why is there a meter when you claim there is no line to it? Something is very fishy here.

[@jcjc6489]

I would be concerned with the foundation and any large earthquake as it doesnt look very solid, not to mention the price, the driveway you can only use in the summer and lack of amenities. You would have to put some money into it to make it full time livable, otherwise a beautiful location and stream close by.

It has already been through multiple major earthquakes since being built. It is common construction for recreational/remote properties. Thank you for watching

[@rcclassiccrawlers4368]

If they were planning on having that many windows on the main floor, they should’ve built it higher off the ground and or made it so the stairs going up to the deck would fold up so the critters (bears mainly) would have a hard time climbing up on the deck. Nice place but I agree, over priced for what it is.

There is electric running to the property, just not to the cabin. The cost of food in the Matsu borough is not too far off from the lower 48, you might be thinking of remote villages where prices are a lot more.

[@rmarsh030Marsh-p4v]

Pretty average price for an off grid cabin with acreage with road access.

[@TopiaRealtyLifeinAlaska]

Yep. It’s not even worth addressing the majority of the comments because those who are knowledgeable about Alaska real estate understand know where the market is at and how hard it is to find acreage. The misconception is that it’s easy and cheap to find, where in reality the average lot size is about .92 acres. Not to mention this is in the Matsu borough which is very highly sought after right now.

[@DeborahDunn-l8y]

If the house is completed with running water and a septic tank, then the price would be right for what you're listing it for. Regardless for a small cabin with hardly any room, 150.000 would be fair.
