An exceptional "Rare" find with lots of history and many a book written.
Truly a great opportunity for the adventuresome, as life above the Arctic Circle is certainly not for the faint of heart.
The Property is perfect for a naturalist, be it looking for the many rare birds who call this area their nesting grounds, watching the whales or a polar bear showing off their young. Well, the list goes on and on. I will let you be the judge.
If you look for a once in a lifetime opportunity for something "Really Different", well no one can top this as you are already at the "Top of the World"!
We are proud that the owner selected us as the Exclusive Agent, as he got tired of all the wannabes that had lots of interest but no money. So please be serious and make sure you have the cash available as banks will not finance remote locations like this.
The Property is assessed by the North Slope Borough for over $700K, but since one of the heirs has a 20-year lease (non-assignable) on one of the small homestead cabins until 2040 (see enclosed PDF Lease), the price is reduced to only $550K. Impossible to replicate the location or construction.
The place will be sold completely "Turn Key", everything stays.
PS: As you can see the property is on an island and only once during a spring breakup, an ice chunk hit the corner of one shed. To see the property an amphibious floatplane would be best for landing in the lake around the 4th of July. Or river landings about late May. One may find someone with a Super Cub in Prudhoe Bay who could land with big tires on the strip. Strip has been unmaintained and is currently only usable for a short stretch. No landings there without prior permission through us from the owner.
