Property Description
This is a truly spectacular view property, genuinely unique for its combination of full Denali and Alaska Range views, quick access to Willow and Wasilla, and position at the edge of the Talkeetnas, on the west side of Hatcher Pass. The 28 acre property sits on a level bluff above Willow Creek and the Willow-Fishhook Road. Paths and clearing offer multiple additional building sites with views. The acreage, already partially cleared, provides great potential for a horse property as well. This property is available alone, or in combination with the neighboring 9 acre property, also partially developed, at 15561 W Willa's Way ($450,000).
--- When you stand in these spots, your being rises and you are touched - by the magnificence of the earth, itself. This is one of these places.
It isn't only about the view, and the view is spectacular. It isn't only about plenty of good water; electricity; high-speed, fiber-optic, wi-fi cable and well-maintained, paved-road access. It isn't about the structures; the new septic; multiple magnificent building sites; a starter cabin and 3200 covered and heated square feet under a well-built metal roof. It isn't only about having direct access to miles of wilderness trails for snow machining, hiking, skiing or hunting. This property has all those things and something indescribably more.
"Oh, come on," you're are thinking, "This advertising hyperbole is getting out of hand."
I am smiling. If I could, I would give you that smile. It is full of joy, laughing at the knowledge these outrageous statements are true. It says, "Go. Don't believe me. Never believe me. Stand there. Experience it for yourself." ---
Lot 3 Blue Moon Ridge is nine and a half acres of Blue Moon Ridge. It contains four beautiful potential building sites in addition to the overlook containing the extant two story, 40'x40' converted-barn structure. The southern boundary of lot 3 adjoins Mat-Su Borough land wherein meander miles of public wilderness trails. Lot 3 has a new septic system - in use for only one year. On site is a Matanuska Electric Association (MEA) transformer which provides electricity to the entire Blue Moon Ridge. The MEA utility corridor borders Lot 3. In addition to electricity, the corridor contains fiber-optic cable for high-speed internet. Lot 3 has a water well that produces more than 60 gpm of good water, a driveway accessing Willa's Way and legal access to the driveway through Lot 4 from the paved Willow Fishhook Rd.
The lot already has local-utility provided electricity, water well with plenty of excellent water and a functional septic system. Two driveways give access on one side to the paved and well-maintained Willow Fishhook Rd. and on the other side to Willa's Way, a gravel public road.
Water wells, new septic system and electricity transformer on site. There is an MEA (Matanuska Electric Association) transformer on site. Both the cabin and the shop are wired from it. An MEA utility corridor runs adjacent the Lot 3 perimeter. It carries not only power but also has a new fiber optic cable for high-speed internet.
Lot 3 and lot 4 each have water wells within their property lines. Each well produces more than 60 gpm of good water. This feature is a gift. Many areas in the neighborhood do not have viable water wells at all.
Lot 3 includes a new certified septic system, used only for one year.
Wilderness trails; Willow Creek; Hatcher's Pass:
The unobstructed and unobscured northern sky is visible from all parts of the combined property, both Lots 3 and 4. there are no structures nor light pollution to dull one's view of the northern lights when they shimmer into the winter sky.
There are miles and miles, (more than a hundred miles) of wilderness trails on Borough property some of which adjoins Lot 3. These trails are used by snow-machiners, dog-mushers, mountain-bikers, hikers, hunters and others. They are maintained year-round by the Willow Trail Committee, a volunteer organization.
Across the road from the driveway entrance to Lot 4, Willow Creek offers gold panning, fishing and white water kyaking.
The Hatcher's Pass summit is twenty miles past Blue Moon Ridge on the Willow Fishhook Rd. Hatcher's Pass recreational area is a favorite destination claiming historic and ongoing gold mining operations and Hatcher's Pass Lodge. It offers gorgeous alpine hiking trails and berry picking in summer; cross country and downhill skiing & snowboarding and snow-machining in winter. The appeal of Hatcher's Pass is only increasing.
Roads & Driveways
Well-maintained public roads. Two driveways.
If you drive to Blue Moon Ridge, beginning at the Anchorage International Airport, you drive two hours on new and well-maintained paved highways and roads until you come to the Blue Moon Ridge driveway itself.
A quarter-mile long driveway winds its way uphill from the paved Willow Fishhook Rd. Driving it you emerge onto the 1,100' top where the view of Denali mountain, the tallest mountain in North America, feels face to face. There are two commercially permitted driveway entrances from the Willow Fishhook road. You can drive down on the other side of the property where a second driveway takes you to Willa's Way, a public gravel road.
Both Lot 3 & Lot 4 have legal access to both driveways.
The views and positioning of these properties, combined with the access to Anchorage/Wasilla, Hatcher's Pass, and Talkneetna/Denali, along with the usability and development of the acreage, make this a truly unique proposition in Alaska real estate. One can see the entire Central and Western Alaska Range, from Denali down through Illiamna, Spurr, and Redoubt.
Nothing comparable has been available in the Alaska property market in recent memory, or is likely to in the near future.
