Yukon House and Acreage For Sale by Owner
Come own a piece of the north!  Enjoy peace, tranquility, and excellent recreational opportunities in the community of Marsh Lake, Yukon, just 45 minutes south of the Yukon's capital city, Whitehorse, by good paved highway .  Marsh Lake, adjacent Tagish Lake, and the nearby influence of the Pacific Ocean create this balmy haven in southern Yukon.  The vibrant local Marsh Lake community has fire and rescue services, a sheltered marina, a lighted outdoor ice rink, a playground, school bus service to the front door, and direct access to thousands of miles of navigable waterways and trails, including excellent groomed ski trails right out your backdoor in winter.  Nearby Whitehorse offers all the amenities of a much larger city, including an international airport, a college,  world-class nordic ski facility and performing arts centre, government offices, several ice arenas, an alpine ski hill, and a brand new aquatic centre.  Coastal Alaska is only 2 1/2 hours away via a year-round highway.  This custom built house and small farm property could be perfect for your busy family, as a retirement haven, or to accommodate a small home business to take advantage of this beautiful lakeside community's growing year-round, tourist and weekend populations.
This 1.2 acre property boasts a 2 bedroom country house with two large bay windows in the living room, extensive wood finishing including maple floors, 1-1/2 bathrooms, and decks all around.  The top floor master bedroom has a large private deck with a view down Marsh Lake towards Tagish, a walk-in closet and full bath.  The mostly-finished walk-out basement is two rooms; one contains a woodstove, laundry, utilities and storage, the other is a family room with a brand new Toyostove Laser 73 oil heater.  The open concept  plan ensures that  heat is distributed throughout the house efficiently, and there is also electric baseboard backup heat  if required for longer periods away from home.  An approved well provides more than adequate water for domestic use and irrigation, and there is a private, approved septic tank with a new field installed this year.  The property is fully utilized and landscaped naturalistically, with many perennials, a productive vegetable garden and raspberry patch, and a rustic greenhouse.  Several paddocks are fenced for horses, two with open shelters, and there is a small, open grazing area.  A sturdy 24' x 30' hip-roof barn provides an insulated, earth-sheltered bottom floor with 3 box stalls (one walk-out to paddock) to keep your animals warm in winter; the upper floor is currently used for hay storage, but has potential for development as guest accommodation or a shop.
This conveniently located property is well-priced at only $156,000 (CDN).  For further info, please contact Haley Argen by email at mantram@marshlake.polarcom.com
