Offered for sale near Copper Center, Alaska is a unique home, outbuildings, and 7.1 acres, located on the north bluff of the Klutina River, less than one mile from its confluence with the mighty Copper River. The fast-moving, glacial Klutina is known for its king and sockeye salmon runs.The greater Copper River Valley is home to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park (WSENP), with Headquarters and Visitor Center located four miles north. Although this is rural Alaska, Anchorage can be reached in 3+ hours by car. The home is 1/2 mile from the Richardson Hwy, leading from coastal Valdez north to Fairbanks. The central location within the Copper Valley provides access to Prince William Sound, Chitina/McCarthy-Kennicott and WSENP, Tangle Lakes and Denali Highway, Hatcher Pass, and the Mentasta and Tok areas, via DOT-maintained paved highways.
The home lot and adjoining four raw land lots comprise North Klutina Bluff Subdivision, a unique 18 acres, wooded with aspen and spruce. The home/garage-shop, improvements, and outbuildings are all contained on Lot 3, the 7.1 acre piece featured here. A private well with good water, along with phone, electricity and Internet/fiber optic, service the home. The lot has river frontage and Chugach Mountains views from the bluff. The property is situated high above the river, with a deep gravel base, excellent for building. The property is accessed from the Richardson Highway via the paved Brenwick-Craig Road and a private drive.
The well-insulated, 1-bedroom, 3/4 bath, 24x36 ft home, with finished basement area, is attached to a 36x48 ft insulated, heated garage-shop, with an additional full bathroom. This spacious garage-shop is on a cement slab, provides for two or more cars, room for large-scale projects, and additional year-round storage and living space. The basement area below the home can be used in a variety of ways from storage to game room. A hallway from the shop leads to a 24x48 ft wing with two large guest bedrooms, a spacious living room, and separate entrance. It was previously a B&B during summer months and is now used as guest accommodation. This wing is heated separately and can be closed off during winter months.
Outbuildings include a sturdy 30x30 ft shed with heavy-duty 50 Amp receptacle for welding or EV charging, and a 20x12 ft woodshed/carport. A 12x16 ft frame guest cabin views west up the Klutina River. A 28x48 ft shop to the north has a high ceiling and over-sized 16x16 ft door, with room for vehicles, boats, and RV storage. The park-like grounds surrounding the home include a circle drive, sections of lawn, an established vegetable garden, greenhouse and garden shed, and berry and rhubarb beds. A short path leads to the bluff with views of the river and mountains. A State-maintained airstrip lies within one mile to the south, and the public boat landing is located across the river from the property.
The property holds potential for a variety of business or tourism opportunities, sites for further home construction on quality building ground, a small farm/homestead with vegetable garden or animals, or left "as is" for privacy and quiet surroundings.
