The property offers over 3,456sqft of residential living space, including an unfinished basement with its own exterior entrance. A wraparound porch on three sides of the home provides the perfect space to take in the surrounding Alaskan landscape and adds to the property’s rustic charm. In addition to the home, the property features multiple outbuildings, including two detached garage structures. One is an oversized two-car garage, while the second is a four-car garage with two bay doors and additional shop space in the back that is ideal for projects, storage, or workspace needs.

And, for winter enthusiasts, Skiland is just 20 minutes away, providing easy access to outdoor recreation throughout the winter months. Please note: the condition of the mechanical systems is unknown, and the property is being sold as-is. Cash or construction/renovation loan required.

About Gold Stream
Valley
Gold Stream Valley, located between Goldstream Road and the Chena River corridor, is a rural and wooded Goldstream neighborhood with broad creek-bottom flats and spruce-lined ridgelines. The area reads as cabins, homesteads, and small-lot homes set back from the road, with long driveways and big skies. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Goldstream Road corridor near the Goldstream Valley area, where mailboxes, trail pullouts, and local stop-ins set the day-to-day rhythm. Community pillars include the Goldstream Community Center, the Goldstream Sports Complex, and the nearby University of Alaska Museum of the North for culture and events. Winters bring aurora watching from dark roadside stretches, while summer leans into biking and river time. The pace stays quiet, shaped by forest edges, wetlands, and the seasonal swing of light.
