1210 Hudson Road , Healy, AK 99743(Denali Borough)

Situated just 25 miles from the entrance of Denali National Park, this unique remote cabin in Ferry, Alaska, presents a rare opportunity to claim your slice of Alaskan paradise within a secluded community. With only about 12 residences in this small village, properties like this seldom become available. Originally homesteaded in the 1980s, this enchanting remote parcel is only accessible by trail, yet it offers the best of both worlds--Experience the charm of off-grid living while enjoying the comforts of modern conveniences! Thanks to power supplied by GVEA since 2005, you can relish the beauty of nature without sacrificing the amenities you love.

Accessing the Cabin

To reach the property, you'll cross a 46-inch-wide & 600-foot-long footbridge along the Alaska Railroad train trestle that spans the Nenana River. In summer, the footbridge accommodates ATV use, serving as the primary access to the town of Ferry during the summer months. In winter, the Nenena River freezes sufficiently to enable snow machine crossings, providing residents with an opportunity to transport larger items. Once across, it's a 3-mile scenic ATV ride along a public 60-foot-wide gravel easement that runs parallel to the Nenana River and the railroad tracks. The parcel also features a 50' x 36' parking allotment on the west side of the Nenana River (highway side), managed by FC Corp with no annual fees. Equipped with power and with the help of modern technology, you can conveniently keep your vehicle plugged in during the cold winter months and start it from the comfort of your cabin.

The Alaskan Cabin Experience

At the end of the easement, you'll find a stunning two-story cabin featuring upper and lower wrap-around decks that offer breathtaking panoramic views of the Northern Lights in winter and on clear days, the spectacular Alaska Range year-round. Completed in 2005, the cabin welcomes you into a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, including a dishwasher, refrigerator, oven, and microwave. The full bathroom is designed with a stand-up shower, bathtub, vanity, and toilet. The cozy downstairs living room features a sectional couch, recliner, and a 70" flat-screen smart TV, setting the cozy atmosphere for relaxing family nights. Gather around the wood stove for a Netflix & chill streaming experience amidst the serene call of the wild! A modern WiFi compatible Toyo heater ensures a comfortable temperature even during the coldest Alaskan nights.

Upstairs, you'll discover the main bedroom, featuring a queen-sized mattress and frame, a flat-screen TV, closet space, and a door leading to the upper balcony. This balcony offers breathtaking views of the Northern Lights in winter with the stunning Alaska Range in the distance.

Additionally, there are two more bedrooms, one with a full-sized mattress and the other with a queen-sized mattress. One of these rooms also provides access to the upper balcony, overlooking the front lawn and the trail entrance.

Conveniently located in the upstairs corridor between the main bedroom and the children's rooms, the laundry room is equipped with a washer and dryer, along with storage space in the hallway closets.

Wildlife and Natural Beauty

This property is a wildlife enthusiast's dream, with frequent visits from bull moose and opportunities to observe mother moose and their calves grazing in the summer. On the east side of the lot, beavers diligently build their lodges, while a keen eye may spot a lynx or, if you're lucky, a wolverine. Wolf tracks can often be seen, and their howls can be heard echoing in the distance. This haven is rich with wildlife and must be treated with respect, as grizzly bears have been spotted nearby.

Endless Outdoor Activities

With Denali National Park just a 30-minute drive down the Parks Highway, outdoor recreational activities are virtually limitless! Engage in sheep and caribou hunting in the Denali Preserve, or fish for arctic grayling in the Nenana River and its tributaries. Chelatna Lake is home to northern pike, rainbow trout, Pacific salmon, and lake trout, providing ample fishing opportunities.

Birdwatchers will enjoy observing the majestic swans that return each spring to nest in nearby ponds. Migratory birds such as snow geese, Canada geese, and sandhill cranes pass through, while owls hoot and snowshoe hares bounce through the surrounding woods. In the fall, spruce grouse hunting is available right on your property.

If foraging is your passion, the nearby woods are abundant with mushrooms and lingonberries in the fall, and secret spots for blueberry and raspberry picking can be found close by.

A Year-Round Haven

This property is the perfect setting for a quintessential Alaskan getaway with family, a hunting trip with friends, or a year-round homestead for those wishing to escape the daily grind while staying connected to modern technology. The spacious 22-acre parcel is rich in firewood, with ATV and snow machine trails weaving through the property for easy transportation of firewood back to the cabin.
