Modern-Day Homesteading - Lay A Claim On FREE Land in Alaska!
[Edit]
[Edit]
Is it really possible to get a piece of land for free in the United States of America? It is if you broaden your horizons to include the town of Anderson, Alaska!
There are 26 plots of land up for grabs. Of course, braving Alaska is not for the faint-of-heart, unless -60 weather is your idea of a holiday.
But to be fair the little town does have some unique offerings that include no property taxes, state income taxes or sales tax, no crime and no traffic (other than from the 300 people that live there). There is land as far as the eye can see and surprisingly gorgeous summers with 90 degree weather.
Anderson, a little town in Alaska's interior, has no gas station, no grocery store and no traffic lights, but it does have plenty of woodsy land -- and it's free to anyone willing to put down roots in the often-frozen ground.
In a modern twist on the homesteading movement that populated the Plains in the 1800s, the community of 300 people is offering 26 large lots on spruce-covered land in a part of Alaska that has spectacular views of the Northern lights and Mount McKinley, North America's highest peak.
