Anderson, Alaska, Is Giving Away Land
21st century homesteading: Free land in Alaska:
The 1.3-acre lots will be awarded to the first people who apply for them and submit $500 refundable deposits beginning at 9 a.m. Monday. Each winning applicant must build a house measuring at least 1,000 square feet within two years. Power and phone hookups are now available.
According to the town’s official website, all 26 plots of land are beside each other like a subdivision.
The original website that came up with the idea is down: too much traffic.
Anderson is almost smack-dab in the middle of Alaska.
