West Addition Eagle Townsite, Lots
19, 20, 23 & 24, Block 43
Apr. 2/3 Acre
Although built in 1980, this house/cabin
looks like it was built yesterday. It
has been beautifully maintained, inside
and out, and is truly one of the "The
nicest" places in Eagle.
It is about a ½ mile out of town on a
hillside with beautifully maintained grounds
(all the under brush has been cleared)
with a Park like appearance.
The 28' x 28' structure is of 10"
fully round, saddle notched lodge pole
pine logs and was built by a master log
home builder. The logs have 5/8"
rods through their center and can be tightened
with nuts and bolts for full compression.
Also, the seller applied 3 separate coats
of cedar log stain. This log package was
cut and manufactured in Boise, ID and
shipped up to Eagle.
The inside consists of a nice modern
kitchen, spacious eating area, a beautiful
living room with like new Douglas Fir
natural wood flooring throughout.
There is ample storage underneath the
stairwell that goes to the loft (½ half
of the building). The loft serves as the
bedroom and has built in closets.
The kitchen has beautiful cabinets, not
unlike you would find in many custom homes,
with a side by side refrigerator, electric
stove/oven, microwave, large deep freezer,
etc.
The building is heated by a Toyo oil
stove (very efficient) and there is an
outside, above ground 500 gallon storage
tank.
One side of the building has an 8' covered
porch running the whole length.
The building has been built on wood pilings
(treated) and the underneath serves as
a nice, dry storage area for some of your
"Stuff".
Then there is the beautiful "Outhouse",
about 50' away from the cabin. For those
of you who don't know Eagle, it is well
known that drilling for good water can
be problematic and expensive. Therefore
the city of Eagle has its own water house
(see picture) where most of the residents
get their water.
There is also a public shower facility
(his and hers), $5 per shower. One could
try to drill a well and add on a bathroom
facility, but I was told it may cost as
much as $20,000.- for a well (or more)
and no guarantee that one gets good water.
The property is served by village power
and telephone. There is satellite television
and one could install a 2nd
dish for satellite Internet hook up (already
wired).
The sales price includes, with about
5-6 exceptions, everything there is; from
the river boat to the snowmobiles, sleds
(2), all the high quality solid oak Amish
furniture, including the Amish bedroom
furniture, stereo, T.V., combination DVD/VCR
player, couches, table, chairs, deck furniture,
kitchen utensils and extensive Alaskan
art, etc.
All you have to bring is just your tooth
brush and personal items.
Eagle is located off the Taylor Highway
on the Yukon River (the oldest incorporated
city in Alaska). The drive from Tok is
apr. 4 hours, with a large section of
the road being gravel.
In the winter, the road is closed although
one could travel by snowmobile. There
is daily air service, almost throughout
the year, from Fairbanks.
The mighty Yukon River serves as a travel
corridor and one could easily venture
to Dawson/Canada, Fort Yukon, etc.
There is caribou, moose and bears throughout
the area and fish wheels will supply you
with fresh salmon.
Truly a little paradise
in the land of the Midnight Sun.
The asking price for this
quality home/cabin is: $285,000.-
