THE CABIN
At the end of the access trail sits a two-story cabin surrounded by the sights and sounds that make Interior Alaska unforgettable.

Inside, the cabin offers something many remote Alaska properties simply cannot:
COMFORT.
The main level includes a comfortable living area with sectional seating, recliner and a 70-inch smart TV.
A King Circulator wood stove provides classic Alaska warmth and atmosphere, complemented by locally sourced stonework crafted by the owner.
For everyday heating, the cabin also features a modern Wi-Fi-capable Toyo heater, giving you the ability to remotely monitor temperature — an especially valuable feature for a seasonal or recreational Alaska property.
FULL KITCHEN — NOT CAMP COOKING
Remote doesn't have to mean primitive.
The kitchen is equipped with:
• Refrigerator
• Oven/range
• Microwave
• Dishwasher
• Sink
• Cabinet storage
Whether you're returning from a day of hunting, exploring, riding or simply enjoying the property, you can come home and cook in a real kitchen.
FULL BATHROOM & PRIVATE WATER
Another major advantage of this property is its water system and full bathroom.
The cabin features:
- Stand-up shower
- Bathtub
- Toilet
- Vanity & sink
- Private 40-foot well
The well incorporates heat tracing and a self-draining design intended to help accommodate Interior Alaska's extreme winter temperatures.

The main bedroom opens onto a balcony where the view becomes part of the experience.
On clear winter nights, step outside and watch the Aurora Borealis overhead with the Alaska Range in the distance.
The upstairs also includes:
Washer
Dryer
Additional storage
For a remote property, these conveniences matter.
YOUR OWN 22.51± ACRES OF ALASKA
Outside the cabin is where this property truly becomes special.
The acreage includes a mixture of cleared areas, natural vegetation and wooded ground, with ATV and snowmachine trails winding through portions of the property.
The western side extends toward a bluff overlooking the Nenana River corridor, with the Alaska Railroad and distant Alaska Range creating a landscape that is unmistakably Alaska.
WHO IS THIS PROPERTY FOR?
- Wildlife watching
- Hunting trips
- Fishing adventures
- Hiking & exploring
- ATV riding
- Snowmachine riding
- Gathering your own firewood
- Foraging
- Berry picking
- Photography
- Aurora viewing
- Evenings around the wood stove
- Or simply disappearing from the noise of everyday life
WILDLIFE AT YOUR DOORSTEP
This is genuine Alaska habitat.
Moose frequent the area, including cows with calves during the summer months. Beaver activity can be found on portions of the acreage, and the surrounding country supports a wide range of Alaska wildlife.
Depending on season and conditions, wildlife in the broader area can include:
- Moose
- Bear
- Wolf
- Lyn
- Beaver
- Snowshoe hare
- Migratory waterfowl
- Numerous bird species
- Spruce grouse
This isn't a manufactured wilderness experience.
This is the real thing.
HUNT • FISH • EXPLORE
For the outdoor enthusiast, the surrounding Denali region offers an extraordinary amount of public-land recreation.
Opportunities throughout the broader area include hunting, fishing, hiking, ATV and snowmachine travel, wildlife viewing, photography and exploring some of Alaska's most spectacular country.
And approximately 25 miles away is the entrance to Denali National Park, putting one of the world's great wilderness destinations within the larger neighborhood of your own Alaska retreat.
ACCESS — REMOTE BY DESIGN
Part of what creates this property's extraordinary privacy is its unique access.
From the highway side, the property includes use of a 50' x 36' parking allotment on the west side of the Nenana River, managed by FC Corp with no annual fee.
From there:
Cross the Nenana River using an approximately 600-foot-long, 46-inch-wide footbridge alongside the Alaska Railroad trestle. The bridge accommodates ATV access during the summer.
Once across the river, travel approximately 3 miles by ATV along a public 60-foot-wide gravel easement paralleling the Nenana River and railroad.
During appropriate winter conditions, the frozen river may allow snowmachine and vehicle crossings, providing an opportunity to transport larger items.
Access is seasonal and weather dependent.
For the right buyer, that isn't the drawback.
That's what keeps this place remote.
AND IT COMES FURNISHED
Anyone familiar with remote Alaska understands something that isn't obvious until you've done it:
Getting furniture, appliances and household necessities into a remote property can be a project all by itself.
Here, much of that work has already been done.
The cabin is being offered furnished with many of the major household items already in place, allowing the next owner to spend less time outfitting a cabin and more time enjoying it.
A PIECE OF ALASKA TELEVISION HISTORY
There's even a story attached to the property.
The owner and cabin were featured during Season 2 of Railroad Alaska, documenting a lifestyle that very few people will ever experience firsthand.
The next owner won't simply be watching that Alaska lifestyle on television.
THEY'LL BE LIVING IT.
But most importantly, it's for someone who has dreamed of real Alaska — not a subdivision that happens to have mountain views.
REMOTE ALASKA — WITHOUT GIVING UP THE COMFORTS THAT MATTER
There are remote properties.
There are comfortable properties.
