Relax and enjoy a magnificent drive home on the New Seward Highway, designated in the year 2000 as an All-American Road, an honor reserved for the nation's highways that have outstanding scenic, natural, recreational, archeological, cultural and historic resources.
As you pass Potter's Marsh and the Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge, you just might get a glimpse of a single pair of Pacific loons, northern pintales, multiple pairs of trumpeter swans and arctic terns, Potter Marsh is one of the most popular bird watching in Anchorage with over 30 species of song birds and 19 species of shorebirds who use the marsh as a stopover during their annual migrations.
Turning left at the Potter Creek waterfall entrance, you may also be lucky enough to see a pair of bald eagles in their romantic death defying mating drive or great horn and short-eared owns in the trees. But that's not all. There are inquisitive moose, mink, snowshoe hares, lynx, coyotes, river otters, red foxes, black bears and the occasional porcupine hidden in the woods between the tree line and Potter Bluff.
Isn't this why we live in Alaska?
While you meander up Potter Valley Road witness the extraordinary scenic vistas of Turnagain Arm and the Chugach Range at almost every graceful turn. It really is enough to take your breath away. And as you reach the top of the hill and turn into Potter Highlands, a new expansive single family home community, it's hard to believe you are only 15 to 20 minutes from downtown Anchorage. Now, you are home to one of the most well throughout and carefully planned estate communities in Alaska, Potter Highlands. With protective wildlife corridors, an interpretive nature trail, fire wise covenants and large wooded lots designed for only single family homes, this is truly Alaska as it was meant to be lived.
Minimum lot side is 1.5 acres with some as large as 6.4 acres. Each individual homesite has been specifically created to maxi,ize its mountain and inlet views wile at the same time protecting Alaska's valuable and essential ecosystem. Class B wetlands have been preserved as non-disturbed areas for their benefit and yours, the homeowner.
The community of Potter Highlands is founded on the belief that the interaction of people and wildlife can successfully co-exist in a well throughout, environmentally friendly, residential community.
