Pro's and Con's of owning land in Alaska

Time to put that RTIC cooler to good use, my man.

Not for very much longer

Down to $1000.

$700/ acre isn't very cheap for something 5000 miles away. You can find land for under $1000/ acre in places like Tennessee, Kentucky, ms, etc. that is isolated and not useful for agriculture.

Are you at least buying waterfront and a decent chunk? I mean I wouldn't buy 3 acres of isolated woods 400 miles from no where just because I had $2100

where

do you plan to live on it? I inherited some land in Florida. Its in a subdivision. I've had it for years. I've also been paying property taxes to Charlotte county for years. I can guarantee you I will NEVER get out of it what I've paid in taxes alone. So I'm inclined to think your "cheap land" is cheap for a reason, meaning it won't sell easily and you'll be stuck being responsible for something thats more of an aggravation than anything else.

Not really. Build a cabin and go on a fall moose hunt once a year. If its fly in, good chance its on or near a lake.

Get 5 acres on Lake Louise near Glennallen, order a cabin kit from Spenards in Anchorage, buy a beater truck and a couple 4 wheelers, store them near that Anchorage airport and make an annual moose hunting trip.

40 acres is a lot. You just need 5 or 10. There's so much remote public land in AK, all you need is a cabin site.
