After 52 years in California and 5 in Alabama, I bought a house in my first year here with no issues. The experience was far better than buying property in California, which I found over-regulated and over-taxed. I wish I had moved sooner. My friend did the same but worked with an adviser, which helped him avoid the problems I faced. I regret not taking that step myself.
I've lived on the Kenai for a couple of decades now and I find your information to be very accurate. You obviously know what you are talking about. Well done.
I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m gonna watch every video, but I started with finding my slice of Alaska which has become a priority at this juncture of life. Thank you for the info.!
I've Been Looking for Alaska Land to live off grid have visited several websites and real estate sites and so far you've told me about 3 or 4 different ways to cheaply buy land in Alaska very informative
Glad we could be of help. Let us know if you need anymore guidance. I do recommend the State Land Sales thru DNR but strongly advise you to inspect the property first. And please subscribe if you havent already :)
Very informative and great music! Keep up the good work. I was up in the Fairbanks area this past summer and you aren’t kidding about the shacks and junkyards. Good points, scout the area.
Your demeanour and vast overview are vehemently appreciated :> I am visiting friends in Juneau again (last was Summer in 2010s) early 2024 before onto Chena Hotsprings and Anchorage both also again, though this time partially for research into relocation.
Thank you very much for the info. My fiance and I came up there in september. Absolutely love it! We were already talking about moving there. But now we're set on it. I'm a builder by trade. She works remotely. Plan on starting a homestead while she still works.
I live in Ohio. It’s pretty pricey to get electric to a remote area here too. Everyone seems to think that their meter has to be at the house but that isn’t necessarily so. We live 1400 feet from our property line. The nearest electric is just a few yards from our property line, so we set the meter pole on the property line and ran an 8 guage (three wire) cable through our property to our house. I operate all of my power tools including a 12” plainer but we do have to turn everything else off when we do. We also run a shallow well pump at 220v and it has lasted over 8 years. The voltage drops a bit (down to about 108 v per leg) but we can do just about anything up to 15 amps. You can’t use much of anything that requires a heating element, so we use LP gas to cook with and heat our water. Also use an LP frig and heat with wood. We’ve been doing this for 10 years now and our biggest electric bill was just $34, though we ran a window a/c that entire month, also a small deep freezer. The only drawback is maintaining the line from the meter to our house. If you go this route, I recommend trimming your access thoroughly.
For us, its a few hundred feet to where the meter base would be. And they want $20k to get it that far. Honestly, the land around us is undeveloped and Id like to keep it that way. So Im inclined to leave electric service up the road and just do a little off grid system for our needs. Thanks for watching and for your ideas!
Nicest, most informative and information packed video - thank you so much, I am planning on coming up this year to work with the goal of finding land to build on.
We know it well. There are pros and cons to that region. Out of 40 acres, you'll have some boggy spots in different seasons and likely some permafrost. There are a few areas where the creeks overrun their banks every spring and cause some problems. If you have drive-up access, make sure to keep it up or it will turn into a muck pit. Take a few rolls of Typar ground fabric and sock away a few thousand dollars for gravel to go on top of it. And I wouldnt bother trying a septic system unless you have really good soil drainage. Lots of ground in the area just doesnt perk. Its dense sediment with underlying permafrost. We did an above ground dry composting outhouse and it works like a charm (see our video on it). Good luck on your new adventure!
they may combine it with another well in your area. There is a guy in Tok also can't remember his name. I liked the clearwater people, they will be drilling my well in the spring.
@@Chris_at_Home That sounds about right. Meadow lakes is close to town and 40' is shallow. Youre lucky! We'd be going 250' deep and we're 170 miles from town.
@@FarOutAlaska I can see why you have to pay a fee as they have a days round trip travel time to get there. I priced getting an air drill into our remote cabin. They wanted $5,000 just to get to the cabin a half dozen miles off the road and then I’m sure it will be another $4to 6K for the well and another couple grand for a good pump. I think the pump at our house was about $2,500 installed. It is a constant pressure/ variable speed pump. I’ll keep collecting rainwater and melting snow for that of money.
Some of the programs I mentioned (and linked) make it very easy to buy your land. In some cases the auctions are limited to residents. But non-residents can still jump in at a certain point during the process. Check out the links and feel free to reach out of you need further advise.
We have a few properties here that we bought through the state over the years. One property is ATV or snowmachine access about 8 miles east of Talkeetna and the other isn’t far from Wasilla with a great southern expose and east and west views. The property near Wasilla we had to pay over $6,000 just to get power to the property. I lived near a dog farmer once. I’d close a door and hear dogs barking for about 10-15 minutes. I know in 1988 you could get a rural homestead. To qualify it to be free you had to live on it 20 months the first five years. You could also just buy it. We won forty acres near Hiline Lake in a drawing then.
Yep....my dad and I did a homestead in the mid 80s but it wasnt exactly homestead land. It was technically a remote cabin staking parcel. We could have obtained ownership if we'd have lived on it for a certain number of months in a 5 yr period. But we still had to have it surveyed, which required a survey crew via helicopter. The survey would have cost more than the land was worth. And the whole area was infested with grizzly bears. My neighbor got damn near slashed to pieces one night. We let the state have the parcels back.
Excellent information. Glad I found your channel and I definitely subscribed. Native Texan but me and the family are considering purchasing some property in Alaska for a second residence / vacation getaway place. Looking forward to learning more from your videos
Awesome info, thanks for sharing! I'm moving up with my youngest son in spring of 24. I'm going to wait to explore a bit before buying a larger property. These tips will definitely come in handy! Also I'm now subbed and following along. Looking forward to some good content. -Dusty
Definitely a good idea to explore the State first. But it takes years to really get to know it. Feel free to reach out if you need more info! And thanks for subbing!
Thanks for the kind words. The music is very hard to dial in. We test the audio on several devises before we publish but on a few devices, it comes thru more than intended. Hope it wasnt too much of a distraction.
The southeast Alaska attractives me the most cuz i love grey and wet days, but something that has been bothering me is that the southeast Alaska cant be reached by car. It needs to be by water or by air. Its a big problem for my wife's family who is from Connecticut. The Aleutians Territories are nice just like the south, you should make a video talking about it.
You''ll have plenty of gray wet weather no matter where in Alaska you go. We have had continuous rain at our cabin for 10 straight weeks in recent summers. And the area is typically pretty dry in summer. I hate it but without some rain, the wildfires up here can wipe out regions the size of whole states. The Aleutian Islands are way out there and super expensive to visit. And the weather is really rough. I do like the isolation of SE Alaska though. Having no highway access helps keep the crowds down. Your parents from back East can fly in or even better, take the ferry from Bellingham WA. Its a beautiful trip! Thanks for watching and hanging out with us!
Greetings from New Hampshire. I purchased 10 acres off Herringbone Street in Talkeetna a few years ago. I may relocate and settle there eventually. The spot does not yet have a legal mailing address. I understand that a legal mailing address is required in order to claim residency. Please help me understand the process of establishing a new mailing for an off-grid property so that I can eventually claim residency in Alaska. Perhaps this topic would make another helpful video. I look forward to it. Thank you in advance…
Excellent idea! But residency in Alaska is a bit complex. Residency is defined differently for different purposes. For example, for resident hunting and fishing lic, you have to establish residency for 12 months. For the permanent fund dividend, you have to be a resident for 1 full calendar year. So it really depends on the purpose for which you're claiming residency.
Thanks for watching.... And tolerating the background music. It's impossible to know how it comes thru on everyone's device. For most ppl it's not that prominent.
I also want to avoid the bigfoots and the other cryptids, I hear they are bad up there Lol. Wow you pretty much covered everything else very thorough and very good information
Thanks for watching and hope it helped. We have some documented critters that we need to be mindful of (bears and moose). So Bigfoot is pretty far down on our list of worries :)
Have you guys ever been up for an exploratory visit? It's not for everybody for sure. If it was, it would be too crowded up here. For some lucky people, the magic happens when you put your feet on the ground.
Thank you so much! I just joined the Alaska Air Guard, from what I understand this automatically makes me an Alaska resident, but I cannot find those exact words in writing, (I still live in Missouri) I would like to participate in the land auction but not sure who to inquire to make sure I’m eligible
Thanks for watching. In fact, our next video is all about Alaska residency. It is a bit complex. So maybe hit the notification bell and subscribe if you havent already. That way youll get notified when we publish it. Take your time on the land auction. Get to know the areas and once you narrow down a region, then get out and explore some of the subdivision offerings. Remember, once you get settled in, your wants and needs and preferences will change. So ease into it. The land auction comes around once per year and there is PLENTY of notice. You will eventually be eligible for the veteran's land sale discount which is 25% on certain parcels. And dont overlook the OTC parcels which are available to anyone, any time. It skips all the stress of a sealed bid auction and you can take your time selecting. Ive seen people pay WAY too much in the auctions....simply because they got too emotionally attached to a parcel and you cannot see what others are bidding. Ive seen people bid double the minimum bid on lots where there were barely anyone bid. If you have specific questions, give a call to the Anchorage DNR Public Information Center. 907-269-8400. I worked there for a while and they can usually get whatever info you need. If not, they'll connect you with the right person. Good luck in your new adventure and stay in touch!
@@FarOutAlaska dang bro, you seem to genuinely care thanks a million… I’m also still law enforcement full time, stay safe. I will definitely subscribe.
@@FarOutAlaska I'm looking at the Matanuska Susitna Borough because i want to be fairly close to Wasilla and Anchorage for needs while still able to see Aurora Borealis
Curious how it was that you were not being harassed by swarms of bugs while you filmed.. It’s the one biggest reason I’ve never considered Alaska property..
We shot this video in early Fall. The bugs are mostly gone by August. But scroll back to some older videos. In June, no matter what we do, the mosquitos are horrendous.
I need to correct you sir. Government land is not OWNED by the government, it is managed by the government! There is a big difference between the two. The "government land" is land of the people.
@@FarOutAlaska not even affordable, at least for a retired, fixed income. i was born in 1960 and definitely remember the 1970s Alaska boom. guess i should have run away from home then. LOL.
You may want to consider not using music when you're talking. It's quite distracting. I couldn't watch but a minute of this and definitely wouldn't subscribe if this is the norm
You basically threaten him while calling your threat an opinion… Your a legend in your own mind.. Doubt he cares or wants your attention anywhere near as much as you need everyone else’s…#douchebag
Thanks for the feedback. The audio seems to come across differently on different devices. We do pre-screen the videos on a few devices before we publish. And we're still learning the editing process. But we'll try to keep background potted down in future videos.
Well, I know you can actually go out to the Bush in Alaska. Build a cabin and stay in it 6 months and it actually is yours And the homestead act is still in effect only insert areas
@@travisleiske204 State, Federal or private property? Obviously, if you did that on private property, it would be called trespassing. And govt land where camping is allowed requires you to move every 2 weeks and prohibits permanent structures. Respectfully, I believe you are misinformed.
Well, I actually had a official told me that I can actually build a cabin. Stay there for months and it's actually mine And out was actually in two thousand and twenty three in august
@@travisleiske204 What official? Which agency did they work for? Do you actually think it's logical that anyone can just roll out to the woods, build a hut on public land and say they own it? For a short while, I was a State official with the Dept of Natural Resources. You can be assured that building an unauthorized perm structure on public land in Alaska will not end well for you. And it will not end in you "owning" the land. Don't take my word for it. Call the AK DNR Public Information Center and ask them. For reference, I'll attach a link in the video notes to a AK DNR handout.

It sounds like your move to Alabama has been a positive one, especially when compared to your experience in California. The difference in property-buying processes and regulations seems to have made a big impact. It's understandable to feel some regret about not having worked with an adviser earlier, especially after seeing how much smoother it made your friend's experience. In hindsight, you’ve gained valuable insight into the importance of guidance when making big decisions like property investments.
Julianne Iwersen Niemann a highly respected figure in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses extensive experience and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.
Investments, whether in stocks, real estate, or businesses, provide opportunities for money to multiply. Choosing the right investments and allowing them to grow over time is essential for financial success.

Wow just saw some of your video it is on point we took 2 trips up this year walked many properties and ended up with 40 acres in Glenallen

You are so kind. Thanks for watching.
from what i have seen there is nothing affordable in alaska.
Its definitely not a cheap place to live.
@@FarOutAlaska not even affordable, at least for a retired, fixed income. i was born in 1960 and definitely remember the 1970s Alaska boom. guess i should have run away from home then. LOL.
You may want to consider not using music when you're talking. It's quite distracting. I couldn't watch but a minute of this and definitely wouldn't subscribe if this is the norm
Just my opinion
You basically threaten him while calling your threat an opinion… Your a legend in your own mind.. Doubt he cares or wants your attention anywhere near as much as you need everyone else’s…#douchebag
Thanks for the feedback. The audio seems to come across differently on different devices. We do pre-screen the videos on a few devices before we publish. And we're still learning the editing process. But we'll try to keep background potted down in future videos.
Yes please Ytubers noooo music!
I think the music is unobtrusive enough, not too loud in my opinion.
There is no homesteading in Alaska that ended in 1976
Yes I know. I cover that explicitly a few minutes into the video.
Well, I know you can actually go out to the Bush in Alaska. Build a cabin and stay in it 6 months and it actually is yours And the homestead act is still in effect only insert areas
@@travisleiske204 State, Federal or private property? Obviously, if you did that on private property, it would be called trespassing. And govt land where camping is allowed requires you to move every 2 weeks and prohibits permanent structures. Respectfully, I believe you are misinformed.
Well, I actually had a official told me that I can actually build a cabin. Stay there for months and it's actually mine And out was actually in two thousand and twenty three in august
@@travisleiske204 What official? Which agency did they work for? Do you actually think it's logical that anyone can just roll out to the woods, build a hut on public land and say they own it?
For a short while, I was a State official with the Dept of Natural Resources. You can be assured that building an unauthorized perm structure on public land in Alaska will not end well for you. And it will not end in you "owning" the land.
Don't take my word for it. Call the AK DNR Public Information Center and ask them. For reference, I'll attach a link in the video notes to a AK DNR handout.
Affordable is your perspective. Me, I see rich asshole problems.
We're all coming from a different place I guess. Thanks for watching tho.
After 52 years in California and 5 in Alabama, I bought a house in my first year here with no issues. The experience was far better than buying property in California, which I found over-regulated and over-taxed. I wish I had moved sooner. My friend did the same but worked with an adviser, which helped him avoid the problems I faced. I regret not taking that step myself.
It sounds like your move to Alabama has been a positive one, especially when compared to your experience in California. The difference in property-buying processes and regulations seems to have made a big impact. It's understandable to feel some regret about not having worked with an adviser earlier, especially after seeing how much smoother it made your friend's experience. In hindsight, you’ve gained valuable insight into the importance of guidance when making big decisions like property investments.
