Supplements
many of the original cabin features remain, adding warmth and unique charm you won't find in newer construction. Outside, you'll discover a greenhouse ready for your gardening ambitions, along with a separate cabin complete with a wood-burning stove--perfect as a workshop, hobby space, storage, guest overflow, or a cozy retreat after a day outdoors. Located just minutes from Big Lake, you'll have easy access to thousands of acres of year-round recreation. Spend your summers boating, fishing, kayaking, or paddleboarding, and your winters snowmachining, cross-country skiing, or exploring Alaska's scenic trails. **The seller is highly motivated and willing to work with the right buyer. Financing concerns? The seller is open to completing lender-required repairs, when reasonable, to help the property meet financing standards and make homeownership more attainable.** If you've been searching for an affordable property with character, versatile outbuildings, and the opportunity to add your own vision and value, this could be the one you've been waiting for.
