About this home
Immerse yourself in the beauty of Alaska with this exceptional riverfront retreat on the Moose River, renowned for the spectacular spring and fall migrations of Trumpeter Swans near the confluence of the Kenai River. Ideally situated just minutes from the Izaak Walton State Recreation Site and offering access to the pristine Swan Lake Canoe System, this property is a dream for outdoor enthusiasts. Spend your days kayaking, canoeing, salmon fishing on the nearby Kenai River, wildlife watching, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings from your own backyard.
Nestled on 4.02 beautifully landscaped acres with over 170 feet of Moose River frontage, this one-of-a-kind property features a 2,234-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bath home that seamlessly blends rustic Alaska charm with quality craftsmanship. Originally built as a small cabin in 1975, the home was extensively restored and thoughtfully expanded in 1995. Custom stone and woodwork throughout create a warm, inviting atmosphere, while expansive picture windows fill the home with natural light and provide front-row views of the abundant wildlife that frequents the river.
A short, comfortable trail leads to a private riverside dock. From there, the Kenai River is just one mile downstream, while the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge begins only one-half mile upstream. During the winter months, the frozen river provides convenient snowmachine access into the refuge, making this an exceptional property for year-round recreation.
Designed with both functionality and recreation in mind, the property includes a 265-square-foot attached garage, an impressive 1,884-square-foot detached shop/garage with ample space for vehicles, boats, a workshop, and all your Alaska toys, plus an additional 322-square-foot storage shed with covered boat or vehicle storage.
Gardeners will appreciate the custom 240-square-foot greenhouse, plumbed with water and equipped with fully automated heating and ventilation systems. Adjacent to the greenhouse is an expansive 7,500-square-foot fenced garden featuring productive gooseberries, black and red currants, serviceberries, mature perennials, and beautifully maintained landscaping that complements the natural surroundings.
The wildlife viewing opportunities are truly extraordinary. Lynx, caribou, black bears, wolves, coyotes, mink, river otters, moose, Trumpeter Swans, and countless other bird species have all been observed from the comfort of the home, creating an unmatched connection to Alaska's wilderness.
With no covenants or restrictions, you'll enjoy the freedom to use the property as you choose. The home is being sold turn-key, allowing you to begin enjoying the Alaska lifestyle from day one. Whether you're looking for a year-round residence, a seasonal retreat, or your own private escape, this rare Moose River property offers an exceptional combination of comfort, privacy, recreation, and unforgettable scenery....
