This was on the old sled dog trail from Fairbanks, Nenana, Tolovana and on to Manley Hot Springs (this place is not to be confused with the Tolovana Hot Springs, which is apr. 40 miles to the north).
History was made here, one can still see at places the old US Signal Corps phone poles, some with wires and the old glass insulators still in place.
Yes, those old miners were a tough breed, to search and find gold in "dem dar hills".
For the property itself it is a neat, apr. 31 acres right at the confluence of the two rivers, with the old lodge building being kept up and used as a private getaway.
It is about 60 river miles downstream from Nenana, about a 2.5 hour boat ride or snowmobile trip. Although in the winter one may be able to come upriver from Manley Hot Springs. If you are lucky enough to fly a ski or float plane time travel times will be a lot less.
This is definitely a great buy for someone who wants to live very remote, totally off the grid and not afraid of cold temperatures which can reach 50 below or more at times. But being rewarded with beautiful interior summers with temperatures that can reach into the high 80's, which warrants a great growing season if you want to grow your own crop.
The place comes with a propane stove, oil stove, wood cook stove, refrigerator, 2 freezers, generator, wood splitter, Internet Dish with modem, lots of extra heating oil, ice auger, dog kennel and of course, a sauna. Well, the pictures speak a 1000 words, so please check it all out.
The Price is: $165,000.- which includes the John Deere Tractor (see picture) and the Boat (see picture). OR for the one who doesn't need those extras, the seller would consider $115,000.-
