Alaska real estate is known for its astonishing natural beauty, so make the most of it by creating a certified wildlife habitat to verify and authenticate that the property is as natural as it appears.
As the trend toward going green maintains to drive the imagination and investments of home buyers, a certified wildlife habitat is fun, relaxing and sustainable. Alaska real estate is a excellent place to begin this type of program whether you go it alone or have the entire neighborhood lend a hand.
The National Wildlife Federation certifies the habitat while providing helpful tips and information designed to attract the flora and fauna for your area. Home buyers fascinated in a sustainable lifestyle will appreciate the capacity to live in harmony with nature making it an attractive plus, when it comes time to selling your home.
Moving To Alaska
Nearing retirement and dreaming of the day you can break away from the rat race and apply more time fishing than sitting in traffic? You’re not alone. Americans seem to crave the idea of “getting away from it all” and finding a little portion of paradise to call their own. One of the last remaining places unharmed by progress is Alaska real estate, so it should come as no surprise that it is a nature lovers paradise. Before you sell the house and move down in Anchorage, spend a little time figuring out the cost of living.
Away from it all doesn’t cost less, seclusion is at a premium in most areas. While rural living may cut down the mortgage payments and cost of raw land, expect to pay more to develop the property.
Standard items taken for granted can add thousands of dollars to the cost of a home before the first shovel of dirt is broken.
Installing a well, septic and sewer, clearing tress, bringing in fill dirt for driveways and other musts are costly and time consuming projects.
Long weekend visits with family are likely to become increased vacations; business trips may feel like a bigger deal.
Enjoy online shopping? Plan on orders taking a little longer to make it – assuming they will ship to you in the first place.
Since our move to Alaska, we have at no time looked back, I hope to see you here soon.
