Welcome to your own piece of remote Alaska paradise on Onestone Lake in Skwentna! Located approximately 71 +/- air miles from Anchorage, this property offers true Alaska seclusion while still being within reach of the state's largest city. With no road access, the property is accessible by floatplane in the summer and snowmachine in the winter. Set on 9 +/- acres across two lakefront lots and surrounded by nothing but the beauty and solitude of the Alaskan wilderness, this one-of-a-kind property offers a rare combination of history, comfort, self-sufficiency, and true off-grid living. For those looking for additional acreage, another 4.5 +/- acres may also be available for purchase at an additional cost. The approximately 1,100 +/- sq ft home was built by Bob Kowalke, one of the founders of the legendary Iron Dog snowmachine race. Adding even more to the property's incredible Alaska history and location, the Iron Dog race route passes just a little over a mile from the property. The world-famous Iditarod Trail also crosses directly over Onestone Lake and can be clearly seen from the living room—a front-row seat to one of Alaska's most iconic traditions. Inside, the home features one full bedroom, a large loft, spacious living area, and an oversized kitchen equipped with new, high-quality appliances. At the heart of the home is a new Kitchen Queen Hearth Master 240 wood cook stove, providing both an efficient heat source and the ability to cook without relying on electricity or propane. A large pantry with extensive shelving provides plenty of room to stock up for extended stays or year-round living. The bathroom features a full shower and full-size washing machine. A rear utility room houses the 325-gallon water storage tank, Navien on-demand propane water heater, lithium battery bank, and additional storage. The property has been thoughtfully developed for serious off-grid living. The solar system includes 18 - 415-watt solar panels mounted on a large adjustable tilting array designed to take advantage of the changing angle of the Alaska sun. The system is supported by four 100Ah, 51.2V LiFePO4 wall-mounted batteries, multiple charge controllers, and a pure sine wave inverter/charger. Multiple generators provide additional backup power. Water is pumped directly from the lake into the home's storage system and passes through an extensive multi-stage filtration system, including filtration down to 0.2 microns and an activated carbon filter. Outside, the property is exceptionally well equipped. A shop provides workspace and storage, while a Range Road sawmill allows an owner to process lumber right on the property. A John Deere tractor with front-end loader and multiple attachments, boats, motors, modular dock system, generators, tools, fishing equipment, maintenance supplies, and an extensive collection of other equipment are included at the $175,000 offering price. Much of what would normally have to be purchased and transported into a remote Alaska property is already here. For buyers wanting an even more complete turnkey setup, additional equipment may also be available for purchase at an additional cost, including snowmachines and other items. Combined with the potential availability of an additional 4.5 +/- acres, a buyer may have the opportunity to expand both the property and equipment package to fit their needs. This isn't simply a seasonal recreational cabin—it has served as a full-time residence for the past three years. The infrastructure has already been established for comfortable year-round off-grid living, making this an incredible opportunity for someone looking for a remote homestead, recreational retreat, Iditarod or Iron Dog basecamp, or simply a place to escape into true Alaska solitude. Opportunities like this don't come along often. With an established off-grid home, extensive infrastructure, lake frontage, acreage, equipment, incredible Alaska history, and direct proximity to both the legendary Iditarod Trail and Iron Dog race route, Onestone Lake offers a truly unique piece of Alaska!
