luxury houses with terrace for sale Anchorage, United States

A distinctive 1.6-acre lakefront parcel with more than 240 feet of Big Lake frontage, the Boathouse is a rare and adaptable waterfront offering with a history as versatile as its layout. Originally built as a three-bedroom lakefront home and most recently operated as the resort's Boathouse restaurant and banquet hall, this two-story building is positioned for an equally compelling next chapter-reimagined as a resort-style restaurant, a lakeside event venue, or returned to its roots as an exceptional private residence. Fully updated throughout, the building is appointed for hospitality at scale: a full commercial kitchen, wet bars on both levels, and multiple dining and gathering spaces that open toward the water. Upstairs, two separate rooms serve readily as private dining, meeting, or staging areas, with ramp access from the rear and accessible bathrooms throughout. Integrated living quarters lend flexibility for an owner-operator or on-site manager-or form the foundation for a return to comfortable single-family living. Outside, more than 1,500 square feet of covered deck and patio overlook the lake, ready to be set with tables or cleared for dancing beneath the Alaskan sky. A private dock and direct lake access complete the setting, with impeccable views across Big Lake from nearly every vantage. With appropriate licensing, the Boathouse is well suited to reopen as a year-round restaurant; with vision, it becomes something entirely its owner's own. Offered alongside the neighboring McKinley House-a nearly 10,000-square-foot, twelve-bedroom lakefront estate on 3.2 acres-the two properties together present a singular combined opportunity on Big Lake, whether held as a unified waterfront compound or a turnkey hospitality destination.

This turnkey property is ready for your Alaskan dreams... whether you're a pilot looking to land at home, raising animals, growing your own food, or simply enjoying the quiet wilderness privacy-and your own private trails-that make Talkeetna so special.   Just minutes from downtown Talkeetna, you're close to the elementary school, public library, Christiansen Lake, XY Talkeetna Lakes Park, the river boat launch, the paved bike trail along the Talkeetna Spur Road, and endless miles of additional public land trails for horseback riding, cross-country skiing, ATVing, snow machining, running and more. Talkeetna is a charming, historic pioneer town nestled at the confluence of three rivers and serving as a popular gateway to Denali National Park. The local area offers abundant outdoor recreation including flightseeing tours over Denali, river rafting, jet boat tours, fishing, hiking, and winter activities like cross-country skiing, snowmachining, and dog mushing. Summers are mild with highs around 68°F, while winters are cold and snowy with lows near 8°F. The area receives about 27-29 inches of annual precipitation and roughly 110-120 inches of snowfall, creating a true four-season Alaskan lifestyle surrounded by vast wilderness and stunning mountain views. Talkeetna and the surrounding region have deep roots in Alaska's pioneer past. For thousands of years, the Dena'ina people used the confluence of the Susitna, Chulitna, and Talkeetna Rivers as a seasonal gathering and trading site. Gold discoveries in the 1890s drew miners and trappers, establishing Talkeetna as a supply hub. The town boomed in 1915 when it was chosen as a district headquarters for the Alaska Railroad, reaching nearly 1,000 residents by 1917. After the railroad moved north, the area transitioned to a quieter life of homesteading, small-scale mining, and bush living. Today's properties on roads like Comsat and E Forest Lane reflect this homesteading heritage-private wooded parcels carved from the vast wilderness, offering the same seclusion and self-reliant spirit that has defined the region for over a century. North Star Homestead is located on a quiet, wooded 40-acre parcel in the Talkeetna area of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The property sits just minutes from downtown Talkeetna via the Talkeetna Spur Road, offering easy access to this historic pioneer town at the base of the Alaska Range and gateway to Denali National Park. The nearest airport is the Talkeetna Airport (PATK), only about 4-5 miles away, with additional local options including Christiansen Lake Seaplane Base. Larger commercial service is available at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, roughly 115-120 miles south (about 2.5 hours drive). Closest amenities include grocery stores, gas, restaurants, and shops in Talkeetna, with bigger services in Wasilla (about 70 miles) or Palmer (about 80 miles).
