Alaskan Cabin

Shot of the front door and library french doors.

Living room between front and back doors. bathroom down hallway, stairs and kitchen.

Shot to SW from upstairs patio off master.

Shot to due West off upstairs patio off master.

Bathroom fixtures. Low flush toilet.

Backdoor, hallway to bathroom, stairs.

Library. Notice deep window sills = insulation factor high.

Really deep.

Kitchen, front door, library.

Woodstove heat, open to loft space/bedroom above.

It's a very interesting place. But overall I don't think it's worth the money he is asking especially since it is off the grid but with lots of $ inputs; water, propane for generator/hot water/stove/refrigerator and oil heat to keep water tank from freezing and to keep pipes in bathroom/kitchen from freezing. The wood stove would help but the cost of propane/oil could be a scary variable for an owner with a sizable mortgage. Now if he would rent it to me for say $750 a month, I might be able to swing it or if he was willing to sell it for 1/3 his asking price, which is highly unlikely. So at this point, I'd say this property is not in my future, but who knows?!

IT feels cold up their from here in South Carolina. How are you doing? Hope all is well. I really liked those shots. And that house looked nice with that wood stove.
