Property Description
Own a piece of history! Rare 5 acre parcel and two cabins on Alexander Creek, surrounded by miles of public lands and the only private parcel in the section. Sits in the middle of prime hunting and fishing country with access by boat or aircraft in the Summer and snowmobile in the Winter. One cabin is a frame 20x28 and the other is a log 16x36 with an upper level. Selling As-is. This property was the original Ross Homestead. Several books have been written about their life at this property in the "Growing Up Wild" series and "Tales of the Trapline" by Janette Ross Riehle. The original log cabin from the 30s is still there and useable and has had the floor, windows, and roof replaced. The two story addition was put on around 1976. In 1993 a bunkhouse cabin was built further back on the lot. in 2011 the original cabin was moved to the other side of the two story cabin due to river erosion. The property was originally used for homesteading with trapping and mink farming. Since then it has been used for recreational hunting and fishing including a base for guiding international fishing clients. Black bear, brown bear, moose, and wolves have all been seen in the area.
