    Description

    An amazing territorial view. It comes with a peaceful presence and so quiet that you can hear it. The properties located in a strategic lot with state land on one side and private land behind you. The telephone pole is already in and is the last piece of property that has power to it. There is no permafrost and it has a large building pad the work from. There is a 16 x 18 log home on the property that goes with it. It needs to be erected on the building pad. The Ridge Pole accommodates a 6 foot overhang covering the front porch and deck.as well as a 6 foot overhang which covers the front deck which overlooks an amazing Territorial view. All of this is available for the new owner and much more. The log package is Swedish cope scribed it logs and is designed for a 12 x 12 pitch roof. Additionally the materials for a platform for the second story of the residence is also goes with the property. The logs are 8 to 12 inches in diameter and approximately 10 logs high giving you a 9 foot plus wall. The foundation is in, gravel base is already in, driveway is already in, power pole is also already in and the structure has been covered and is ready for this coming spring for this amazing territorial view. One of the beautiful things about this piece of property is in the wintertime it is 20 to 40 warmer than the Valley. This unique piece of property has many things to offer, a breath taking view being one of its best attributes. The property faces a basin valley at about 1900 feet above sea level overlooking a very beautiful endless view of the rare endless Alaskan Tundra. The Lot is a triangle fronted by state land that cannot be built on. The right side is owned by the farmer that was the first to settle the Haystack community. The left side of the triangle Lot is Haystack Drive. The Lot to the rear of the property was purchased by the owner of the next lot over so no one would build next to him. All land to the north of the lot belongs to a private owner that maintains a 600 acre farm. The address is listed as Haystack Drive but the entrance is on Cogan Road and is self-maintained by the owner with his Grader. The remaining roadways are State Maintained. Heavy Equipment is readily available for rent from the Cogan Farm or the Haystack Sawmill. Haystack is a Community and they help each other. Monthly Pot Lucks are held to keep the Community together. Electric/Telephone has been installed but GVEA needs to connect it. The pole is set up for 200 amp service. The Dozer work was done for this cabin to be erected and lived in while a house is being built. There is the house pad and the cabin pad along with a large garden space. 200 amp service was chosen in anticipation of a house being built along with a garage and a horse coral. 100 Amps for the cabin pad and 100 Amps for the House pad. There is permafrost on the property and mainly Black Spruce. The Dozer work ripped this down to the bedrock so the pads are solid. Gravel would be your choice, the long driveway and pads are fine as is but bull rock may make things more convenient. There is a hand crafted Swedish Cope Notch Log structure included with the property. The cabin is a "real" log cabin and ready to be stacked like big Lincoln logs on the platform that was made specifically for it. The cabin is 16" x 18' center to center. The platform on the Cabin Pad is overkill 2x10's on 10x10 beams leveled on concrete pads with railroad ties set high for storage and the view. There is a six foot front pretreated porch of which the Center Ridge Log included with the cabin completely extends over to peacefully enjoy the view. The floor of the platform consist of 2 layers of 1/2 CDX set at 16" centers as well as 1/2 inch of ply on top with flush counter sunk screws at every 8"s. The Swedish Cope Notch cabin was hand crafted Log by Log for by a Master Log Home Builder to be used as a hunting cabin in Valdez.

      "Neighborhood is wonderful! Close to Ft. Wainwright (about a 5min drive to the back gate that is open from 0500 to 2000) as well as Eilson AFB (about 25min away). Contrary to other reviewer's post, this neighborhood is on the other side of town from Pioneer Park, movie theatre, and the correctional facilities. It's a quiet, family friendly neighborhood where everyone keeps to themselves but waves when you're out and about. "

Wainwright's back gate (so less traffic getting on to base), 5 minute drive to the city and close to all the amenities (Fred Meyer and Costco are 4-5 min drive away), restaurants within walking distance, and friendly neighbors. Neighborhood has several children and everyone looks out for each other. "
