About This Property

Imagine waking up with the Chugach rising behind your home and a view stretching out across Anchorage and Cook Inlet to Denali, Sleeping Lady, the Alaska Range and the Tordrillo Mountains. Set on approximately seven acres high above the city in Bear Valley, this is the kind of property that makes you feel like you've left Anchorage behind and found your own place in the mountains. The homesite sits in a spectacular position, open to the western sky and oriented to capture exceptional sunlight throughout the day--a rare advantage in a part of Bear Valley where the surrounding mountains can put many properties in shadow. From here, the view changes with the light, the weather and the seasons, from long summer evenings over the Inlet to alpenglow across the Alaska Range. Behind you, the Chugach isn't just part of the view. Trails into Chugach State Park can be accessed literally from your backyard, putting miles of mountains and wilderness outside your door. There is a remarkable feeling of space here: seven acres of your own, the mountains immediately beyond, and an enormous western horizon in front of you. And much of the work required to turn a piece of hillside acreage into a buildable homesite has already been done. The driveway is in, the building pad has been established, electric utility is already on the property, and natural gas is adjacent. For all the solitude and sense of escape, you're not nearly as far from town as the setting would suggest. Carrs on Huffman is only about a 12-minute drive away. You can leave the grocery store and, minutes later, be standing on your own seven acres at the edge of Chugach State Park, looking across Cook Inlet toward Denali. It's difficult to find a property that offers this combination of mountains, sunlight, acreage and access without giving up the conveniences of living in Anchorage. This is a place to build around the setting--to create a home where the view, the trails and the Chugach become part of daily life.
