About this property

Alaskan Adventure Begins Here: Beautiful Creekside Oasis!

If privacy is what you want, this is the place for you. The large yard is surrounded by trees, giving you the privacy you desire. The property is bordered by the creek on one side, watch for salmon headed to the spawning grounds beginning mid-August.
