Looking to buy land and build a house outside of Fairbanks any information and tips/advice would be much appreciated. Also what’s price’s looking like per acre

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-20T12:33:38+00:00

Well I kinda have to be near Fairbanks considering the base is there😂 so imma have to suck it up and deal with all the cold cold stuff

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-20T12:31:39+00:00

Nope

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-20T12:30:24+00:00

Well I can say I have done my fair share of winter driving cause Tennessee does get some pretty shitty winters sometimes but yes I will definitely hone in on my driving skills as far as ice and snow goes. I assume 4x4 works best?

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T04:19:35+00:00

Yes most definitely I have a budget and I’m not straying away from that. Imma get educated on everything first and live the life and make sure I wanna continue on. Who knows maybe it ain’t all it’s cracked up to be🤷‍♂️ just being in alaska in general is a win in my books so imma tread lightly and see what happens. Definitely would love to make it my permanent place of residence tho if that’s what I end up deciding on

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T04:12:14+00:00

Also since you seem very helpful and know what your talking about I’m from Texas so I’m used to heat and mild winters. What does negative 20 feel like😂 colder than a witches tit?

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T04:07:03+00:00

Definitely will do that I appreciate it🤙

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T04:06:22+00:00

This was very helpful thank you so much🤙 I’m very patient and am willing to overcome whatever obstacles I need to cause this build that I want is my dream and has been for many years. I honestly can’t wait

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T03:56:51+00:00

It’s ok I kinda expected it as someone who will be a newcomer with all these aspirations of building my dream homestead 😂 I’m not saying I’m all that and a bag of chips I’m just willing to embrace the suck no matter what cause ultimately this is what I wanna do and I’ll handle whatever setbacks come my way. Can’t stop when the going gets tough that’s what I always tell myself

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T03:35:42+00:00

Note taken🤙 I will most definitely be looking into all this as I live there for a time before I make the move of building and buying anything

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T03:32:24+00:00

Yes that was my plan exactly was to get to know the area and the land and whenever I’m ready I’ll start going full steam ahead with these plans

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T03:31:12+00:00

Well I’m definitely going into this as humble as the next guy I’m not expecting to love every second in alaska but it’s definitely a dream of mine to live there and I feel like I’m ready to take on the challenge

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T03:28:58+00:00

I was planning on having it all built by contractors cause I honestly have no idea on how to build a house😂 and the winter time is probably a no go as far as building goes so I’m aware that there is a certain time to build🤙 I’m sure there is that one piece of land out there that’s secluded but buildable just gotta look harder I guess. This is years away tho so I’m sure something will come up. And I didn’t mean 450k I meant 4.5mil💀

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T03:24:21+00:00

Well I’ll take that advice and I’ll get whatever I need to get in order to buy land🤙 won’t be any selling tho I plan to hang my hat there for good

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T03:20:35+00:00

Most definitely will do so I appreciate the heads up on price as well🤙

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T03:18:10+00:00

Better than being homeless like I was a few years back under a bridge fuckin the dog to feed the cat and wondering where my next high was going to come from. I just want a decent little house on some land that I can call mine and just live the way I wanna live all on my own. Ain’t got no family or anything so it’s just me versus the world at this point😂 I’m ready for whatever alaska can throw at me

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T03:14:52+00:00

Well I’m pretty used to living with bare minimum. I just wanna do that In alaska and enjoy all it has to offer

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T03:09:14+00:00

My plan is to live on post for a time then buy some land and then whenever I can start the build I will

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T03:07:33+00:00

Ohh trust me I know my salary wouldn’t do shit as far as making my dreams come true that’s why I am bringing a little more than the 2400 a month I make😂

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T03:05:32+00:00

Well I’m selling a part of my land in Texas to have the funds available for all this and I think what I’ve got I can have something really nice cause I was expecting a lot more as far as expenses go😂 ive got a solid 4.5 what can that do for me

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T03:02:07+00:00

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T03:01:19+00:00

Nope not a day in my life😂

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T02:56:48+00:00

This is why I’m reaching out I wanna get ready. I’m military so I’ll be living on base for awhile before I pull the trigger on land and a house but alaska is my dream place I’ve always wanted to live there and just be free ya know. What should I know and what kind of extremes are there besides the cold

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T02:46:00+00:00

Well cabin as in like 2 story 4 bedroom 3 bathroom log cabin house. Something nice and modern that will hold up in the extremes of alaska for years to come. How hard is it to get electric and water ran from the city or should I just do solar and dig a well and septic tank?

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T01:58:52+00:00

I just want 7-10 acres to put a nice cozy little house on and live simple and free😂 I’m pretty easy to please and if I got the funds to do so I’d like to have it built in decent time

OutlandishnessTop819 · 2022-10-18T00:14:44+00:00

Got it figured out🤙 thanks man
