If you've been dreaming of building a home on your own land, on your own terms — this is the kind of property that makes that dream realistic. Located at the base of Anvil Mountain on Dexter Bypass Road, this 9,000 square foot parcel just dropped from $185,000 to $150,000, and it comes with something rare: a place to live comfortably while you build.

A Place to Build, Free from the Usual Restrictions

Dexter Bypass Road is state-maintained, which means year-round accessibility while you build — no seasonal washouts, no summer-only access. The property sits just three miles from downtown Nome, close enough for an easy commute, far enough to give you room to breathe and some of the most incredible mountain views in the region — the kind of view worth designing a home around.

And because the property sits just outside city limits, you get real freedom that in-town lots simply don't offer: no property taxes, and no zoning or building permit requirements — all while still enjoying the reliability of a state-maintained road. That means you can build the home you actually want, at your own pace, without navigating a permit process or someone else's rules about what your house should look like.

What's Already On the Property — So You Can Live There While You Build

This is the part that makes this property different from a typical raw lot. Building a home takes time — and most people either pay rent somewhere else while they wait, or try to rough it. Here, you don't have to choose. The property already comes set up for comfortable living on-site, from the very first day you own it:

• A dry cabin
• Bunk houses, ready for extra sleeping space, guests, or family helping with the build
• A 5th wheel trailer mobile home with a full kitchen and bathroom — genuinely comfortable living while your house takes shape
• A truck, included with the sale
• Electrical service already in place
• A basic leech field septic system

In other words: the groundwork most self-builders spend their first year and many thousands of dollars putting in place — gravel, power, septic, a place to sleep, a place to store tools and materials — is already done. You get to skip straight to the part where you're actually building your home.

Who This Property Is Right For

This is for the person who's been picturing it for a while: a home they designed themselves, on land with a view, built at their own pace, without a bank of rules dictating every decision. If you've been putting that dream off because the logistics felt impossible — where would we live while it's under construction, what will the land cost before we even start building — this property answers both questions at once.

At $150,000, it's also one of the more accessible entry points we've seen recently into Nome-area land ownership, especially for a property that lets you start living on-site immediately instead of waiting years to make the dream real.

Buying or Selling in Nome? Work With People Who Actually Know Nome.

Nome's market doesn't work like anywhere else — and pricing it right takes more than a national algorithm or an outside agent's best guess. A property like this one, with a mix of land value, existing structures, a vehicle, and utility infrastructure all rolled into one sale, is exactly the kind of listing that gets mispriced by anyone who isn't working from real local knowledge.

Smart buyers come to us because we know which properties are worth the asking price and which aren't. Smart sellers come to us because we back every price with real local data and market knowledge — not a number pulled from comps three time zones away.

We're Nome-based, year-round. We track the sales, we know the comps, and we know this market inside and out.
