Incredible & Rare! Five private Alpine acres, a Chugach backdrop, and the massive attached shop most people only sketch on napkins. This quality built home is warm, private, and has the views! With four bedrooms, two baths, two big decks, and two living areas, ready to make yours. Room for trucks, boats, snow machines, and every project! Twenty minutes from downtown Anchorage. Miles from ordinary. Step inside and you'll feel the difference a well built and maintained home offers. The almost 2300 sq ft, four-bedroom, two-bath floor plan flows easily -- this is quality construction maintained to an impeccable level. Multiple Heat Sources: A Hampton H35E-11 propane fireplace insert (added in 2022) gives you ambient warmth without firing the boiler, and wood and pellet stoves stand ready for the coldest nights when you want the kind of heat that radiates across the room. Natural gas is nearby too.Front-entry and rear decks together total roughly 860 sq ft of outdoor living space -- plenty of room for grilling, taking in the incredible views, and enjoying those long Alaska summer evenings. Beyond the 5 acre lot with with usable yard, driveway, parking, and trails - The headline feature is the attached 2,300 sq ft heated shop, and it deserves its own paragraph. Built in two permitted phases -- the original 37' × 33' bay in 1990 and a 37' × 30' addition in 1998 -- it's fully insulated and heated by two Dunham Bush H-250-C hydronic baseboard zones, with a Heatmaster G4000 wood-fired hydronic boiler (2022) backing things up for cost-effective shoulder-season heat. There's room here for full-size trucks, boats, snow machines, a real workbench, and whatever project you've been putting off because your current garage isn't big enough. Direct internal access from the home means you don't have to suit up to grab a tool.Outside, the lot is exactly what people beg for: roughly 283' × 329', a touch over five acres, well-treed, cleared where needed and quiet, with spectacular views -- pet- and kid-friendly without feeling cut off. Four outbuildings handle tools, toys, and seasonal storage. The ground sits on established greywacke and siltstone bedrock, which means excellent natural drainage and the kind of structural foundation Alaska builders appreciate. The trees screen the road without crowding the home. There is room for additional structures, ADU, Horses, you name it!Systems are where this property quietly separates itself. The private well is 325 ft deep, drilled in 1994 by M-W Drilling, producing 10+ GPM with the pump replaced in 2017. The septic was re-permitted in 2016 (OSP151252) with a Greer 1500-gallon tank and a four-bedroom design -- paperwork is in hand. Heat sources are genuinely redundant: oil, propane, pellet, wood, and hydronic, so a power outage or fuel-price swing never leaves you cold. The well log and septic as-built are available with the marketing handbook on request.Location-wise, you get the best of both directions. Downtown Anchorage is about twenty minutes south on the Glenn Highway. Eagle River's schools, grocery, hardware, restaurants, and trailheads are a few minutes the other way. Chugach State Park access is close, the Eagle River Nature Center is up the valley, and you're inside the Anchorage School District. It's a short commute on paper and a real change of scenery in practice.This is the kind of property that doesn't come up often in Eagle River -- a maintained mid-century home, a shop most people only build in their heads, real acreage, and documented systems, all on a quiet wooded lot priced for its work-and-live combination rather than its zip code. The opportunity this property presents is almost endless. Showings are by appointment, and the property absolutely shows best in person.
