You will find this beautiful place at Mile Post 329 on the Parks Highway, just about 20 miles out of Fairbanks.
The single, enterprising European owner created a small business to substitute her income and share her adventuresome lifestyle with other like minded people. Be it watching the spectacular Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis), a growing Japanese market, or go dog mushing, snow shoeing, cross country skiing and other winter activities.
In the summer the owner usually spends time in Europe with family and travels. So there is tremendous opportunity to develop a summer business as certainly there are more tourists visiting Alaska in the summer then in the winter.
With that said, one may just purchase this place if you have a large family and make it your private home, or the way the facility is laid out, it could be easily made into a duplex, but the choice is yours and the opportunities abound.
The place consists of a large main log building, which is attractively finished and tastefully decorated (see included building sketch). In addition, there is a separate building for the Dog Handler/Caretaker, plus a large garage/storage building, apr. 48’ x 32’.
The property is on the hills between Fairbanks and Nenana, southerly facing with a nice view of the Tanana Valley and the Alaska Range in the distance to the south.
During my personal inspection of the property most of the guestrooms were filled up with Japanese tourists with various meal plans and activity schedules. Certainly a big task to handle for one person but ideally handled by a family, where everyone can help with the chores.
The facility will come fully furnished with the exception of 3 or 4 heirlooms which the seller will point out during an inspection. Fully furnished in this case means; bedroom furniture, linen, kitchen appliances, pot and pans, silverware, basically everything you would need to continue.
Please check out the pictures to see how tastefully everything is done.
This will have to be a cash sale and it may be easier to obtain bank financing to purchase the property as a large home or duplex, as interest rates are historically at the lowest. While purchasing it as a business you may find out that banks will be a lot more reluctant to finance, if at all, and certainly interest rates will be a lot higher. You will need outstanding credit and a source of income to cover the monthly payments as per bank / financial institution requirements in order to qualify for a purchase. If you need bank financing, please be pre-approved for the loan amount.
