I'd wanna get a diesel generator for me jardin, other than that that place looks SIQ.
Man its too damn cold up there most of the year and dark six months too, brrrrrrrr
If you can keep the grizzly bears and other large creatures from breaking in and/or killing you, it obviously has great fishing and hunting, and the state pays a kickback to it's residents for the energy revenues and great tax benefits too.
For me, I'd rather stick with the southeast semi-wilderness right here in the lower 48 where I can still jump in a car and find my way to civilization in less than a half hour drive. But hell yea, that would be a great place to visit and catch some great fish, northern pike, bass mmmmm

Like some have said, the hardships are the grizzlies, snow shovelling, etc.
You'd have to be a hardcore outdoorsman. No generator, no electricity, dark for months, it would be hard, specially alone. Definitely a fun adventure, I just don't dig so much cold, snow and isolation from roads and emergency help..

Even if you want to be instrument rated?
well some of you are full of 'alaska misconceptions'...so much that i hardley wanna address them...as i have addressed pretty much all of them before.
it's NOT dark 6 months out the year....especially in the southern part of the state.
you don't have to shovel snow....i lived many winters in colorado in the mtns @ over 10'000 feet and a cpl winters in alaska...got way more snow in colorado and NEVER shoveled ever....when it snowed i would just drive over the drive way a bunch to pack it down....i always had studded mud tires.
...pathways around the house just walk the same path...no shovel ever necessary.
ill have to look again but i think that cabin has a genny...if not there is no reason u cant bring one in.
lots of alaska arent extreme cold...when i lived in kodiak we almost never got snow...a cpl inches here and there...climate more like seattle...lots of rain.
sorry "10k" no bass...and not that much pike...pike are my fav fish to catch....good eatin too.
"bobby s"...no pizza delivery...but who needs it when you can make your own w/ mooseburger.

Believe it or not I have been by that cabin. Its about 50 miles west of me and we go snow machining over there. Actually....petersville is about an hour north of that spot....big playground for me.
hey OMT....it doesnt say anything about ATV access.....do you think you could get access by ATV?
...it does say possible boat access...how possible do u think that is?
also would u consider it a "busy" winter p-ground?....reason i ask is i was looking at lots of stuff around talkeetna, but man i dont wanna hear snow machines all the time...sometimes ok, but not too much.

No....you cant get there by ATV that I know of. You would have to break trail....but with as many streams and rivers that are in that area....it wouldnt be easy.
The only reason I have got there is frozen lakes and rivers.
If you dont like sleds....than Talkeetna isnt an ideal place. That is a main mode of transportation in the susitna valley.
You know and I know that living off the grid in this state is HARD. I have only heard of a handful of people doing it year around. Your better off looking towards cantwell and willow area...to buy a 20 acre plot...on the road system.
Find one with a cabin...or build your own.
If you have a Bush plane....like a small piper...than thats a different story.
Boat access is doable....but there are some areas that a prop drive wont go...you will need a jet drive and a boat that doesnt draw more than 8-12 inches....much like a a snag skiff for a seiner.

C0uLD Y0u M@ke Th1s PlacE H0me?...end all

well i say 'end all' because it would/could be.
... but this place is gonna be sooooooo gone sooooo fast, so unless a miracle happens soon, there will prolly be another thread....but forget that for now ...look at this gem!
i should be able to afford this w/ the money i make, but i would have to pay it off before moving....thats my only catch (any thoughts on how to swing this?)...
get a cpl partners?...
buy it, pay on the mtg, and keep working and pay rent here same time...vacation there in the meantime.
buy it, rent it out, and still vacation there?
youll see why im so frantic about it?

Nice indeed, i also see a future where you a raided by cops who read this exact post 
misconception ratio, but def. better to bring your own....
...sum may know the old saying about alaska men that the ladies use (''the odds are good, but the goods are odd")
...might make a good demotivate poster....stereotypes bein tru and shit
dude, i love you but you are gonna have to stop doing this. everytime you start one of these threads i get side tracked for days, daydreaming about organic gardening, altrnative building and being at one with nature..........oh ok go ahead.
