About 59700 Sterling Highway
Prior to my life in Alaska, I viewed the Last Frontier as a place with inaccessible log cabins - all adorned with hunting trophies - from racks to fish, and everything in between. Little did I know that I'd go on to practice Real Estate and discover everything I knew was wrong. I'd like to jump right into the 617 ft of Sterling Highway frontage it has, but I need to tell you a little bit about the area, first.
Sterling Highway is one of two highways on the Kenai Peninsula (Alaska's "Banana Belt") and stretches from the upper peninsula and continues to the city of Homer, known as the "end of the road" - although the actual highway ends as you approach the town itself.
Kasilof, where this property is located, is at a solid mid point on the continuum that is Sterling Highway. A place where the glacial waters feed a fast flowing river that draws in thousands of fisherman and nature lovers, every summer.
This property has a 5,879 sq ft LOG home right off of the highway - in fact, all lots combined total 617 feet of Sterling Highway frontage. As if that's not legendary enough, it comes with an additional FIVE lots - all property totaling over NINE acres. Imagine the empire you can build with the home on sight -- with the added potential of DOZENS more. Worried about no one finding the lodge -- or have the same misconceptions I did when I lived in Las Vegas, NV? NO WORRIES! This particular stretch of Sterling Highway is right by the River AND a Johnson Lake - a section of road that, in 2024, brought 5,320 DAILY travelers!
This place has been a family home for decades and even served as a pillar for the community, as a local church!
There's FIVE bedrooms, THREE bathrooms, TWO kitchens, multiple BONUS ROOMS, a loft, POLE BARN, circle driveway, and so much more!
I'm about to say something akin to a 90's commercial: "...but wait, there's MORE!"
The gravel on the property was all derived from the property itself! In my life prior to Alaska, I wouldn't have grasped the gravity of this situation - after all, there's contractors on every corner in Las Vegas. Here, resources are harder to find and are more expensive - making the gravel on site ideal for further land development!
If you analyze the pricing of this lodge, and the surrounding land, you'll find that it's priced competitively and opens the opportunity for people outside (and inside) Alaska to invest in the opportunity that awaits at 59700 Sterling Highway.
Sure, you can put some trophies on the walls, bringing to fruition my idea of Alaska, but this lodge is so much more than a place for adorning animals - it's a veritable investment in your future - and the future of others. Imagine the memories that this business endeavor will create.
