About this home
*Where the Road Ends and the Dream Begins*There's a reason people move to Alaska -- and this exceptional property on Lazy Mountain is it.Tucked at the end of a quiet, borough-maintained road, just minutes from downtown Palmer yet worlds away from the ordinary, this well appointed log home isn't just a place to live. It's a way of life, fully realized and ready for you. *Read More-The Home
Crafted from quality log construction and lovingly maintained for over 20 years, the main residence offers more than 2,200 square feet across two floors -- and every square foot has been cared for with intention. Soaring double-height ceilings give the living room a grand, open feeling, anchored by a woodstove powerful enough to warm the entire home when the temperature drops and the wind comes off the mountain. The kitchen is built for real cooking: a generous L-shaped layout with island, ample counter space, and room to gather for meals. Downstairs you'll find a spare bedroom and a dedicated office; upstairs, three more rooms including an oversized primary suite with a custom in-room sink and hand-selected tilework, a craft room/office, and a third bedroom complete with a handbuilt ladder leading to its own storage loft. The details here aren't afterthoughts -- they're the mark of owners who cared deeply about this place.
-The Grounds
Step outside, and the property opens up into something truly special. This is where the Alaskan Dream takes shape.
Process your harvest in a fully equipped game and canning kitchen -- complete with walk-in cooler, full-size range, and generous counter space. Store all your gear in the heated, insulated gear room with built-in cabinetry, with a connected unfinished twin space ready to expand whenever you are. Sweat out sore muscles in the private sauna, nestled beside a stacked-log fire ring that was made for long evenings under the Alaska sky. Tend raised vegetable beds and a greenhouse through the summer. Watch your flowers bloom along the carefully kept beds framing the front and side of the house.
The four-stall log barn -- currently configured for storage and dogs -- is built to come alive again as horse stalls, a workshop, or a toy garage for snowmachines, ATVs, and everything in between. A 20kw diesel backup generator ensures the whole operation keeps running, no matter what the weather brings. Partial perimeter fencing, including electric sections, adds to the self-sufficient feel of the land.
The Location
Lazy Mountain is one of the Mat-Su's most coveted communities -- rural in spirit, breathtaking in setting, and remarkably well-connected. You're a few hundred yards from Clark-Wolverine Road, five minutes from Palmer, and within genuine commuting distance to Anchorage -- one of the only places left where that combination still exists without a subdivision crowding your view.
The Opportunity
Properties like this don't come to market often. In fact, nothing comparable to this is likely to appear in the Mat-Su Valley this season -- or perhaps this decade. If the Alaskan Dream means self-sufficiency, space, beauty, and a community that takes pride in where it lives, then this property delivers on every count.
