The home itself has been fully remodeled within the last 5 years keeping with the cottage/cabin feel. Just completed the master bedroom combining 2 rooms to create a large master with walk in closet.

The well cap is housed in an insulated building and the line leading to house is in 12" arctic pipe that comes up into the linen closet of back room. Homeowner has made every effort to insure no freeze-ups in winter. Homeowner installed a 250 gallon holding tank so well pump isn't running on and off, another way to insure life of pump. There is Takagi propane on demand water heater and whole house water filter system all housed in dedicated water mechanical room. A brand new Thermo Pride oil furnace installed fall of 2024 (highly efficient as owner didn't use wood stove this past winter and average cost of heating oil this past winter was $79 a month) there is also a Toyo oil stove model Laser 56 installed in 2021 and serviced annually (this is included in monthly fuel cost-run off same 300 gallon tank). A Blaze King wood stove. There is not currently a septic system, homeowners use a composting toilet. Their plan was to install a septic system this year but decided to move out of state this year instead of next year. Home is being sold mostly furnished including all appliances and priced accordingly to reflect need to install septic system. Homeowners are in process of packing and some pictures reflect this process and will follow-up with additional pictures showing all boxes and personal items removed. Also, homeowner will include more pictures of property and yard once they have things mowed and straightened. Homeowner has been working on selling and going through all outbuildings and shop and will include pictures once all is cleaned and packed. Please don't miss out on great opportunity to own a piece of the "Last Frontier". Very Motivated Seller, come take a look! Being sold As-Is. Priced well below market value ($425,000-450,000) to move quickly and to allow buyer to make changes to add septic and repairs to shop. Any reasonable offer will be considered.
