Riverside cabin with 3 bedrooms / 2 full baths, Great room, game room, 2 basement rooms, detached garage.
This rustic Kenai river cabin has all the comforts of home plus lofted ceilings with incredible views of the Kenai river. The cabin boasts a spacious great room (kitchen and living room) with new appliances. There are 3 comfortable bedrooms, 2 full baths (plus an outhouse), a game room, two extra rooms in the basement (fishing gear or storage, plus a workspace/shop). Two arctic entrances – one keeps the great room cozy and provides space for wood storage or acts as a mud room. The second allows direct entrance from the back of the cabin into the “fishing tackle” room. Hang up your waders and stow your gear before heading upstairs to the main living area. There's a wrap around deck with amazing views of the Kenai river, a large detached garage with shop area and huge parking space. Tons of storage. Additional parking spaces for over 5 vehicles. There's a wood shed with tinted poly-carbonate roof to help season the firewood. A high efficiency wood stove and LP gas heater keep the place toasty. Artesian spring fed well with delicious water.
The Kenai river runs through most water front properties like a freight train. Not here. This is big Hole #1, where the river braids into multiple channels and fans out creating numerous islands. Known locally as some of the best silver (coho) salmon fishing south of Skilak, the calm waters are a haven for all types of wildlife and offer incredible recreation opportunities. Where else can you easily paddle around multiple islands on the Kenai river? Fish for silvers or trout from a canoe or kayak? The main channel is several hundred meters from the back of the property, while the reds (sockeye salmon) sneak up river right in front of the dock! The dock not only has space for a number of boats, but historically this has been a fly-in location, right when the salmon fishing is at it's peak. During early spring and late fall, the river volume greatly decreases giving walking access to excellent holes and miles of exposed gravel banks. For wildlife lovers, expect daily sightings. In the spring, the bald eagles, moose and ducks are daily visitors. Into summer months, the fish put on the show. As autumn temps dip, the river fog dances and turns the scene into a surrealistic ice show.
Property along this amazing stretch of the Kenai river comes on the market very rarely. This river cabin comes partially furnished and move in ready. Pickup some groceries, stock the shelves and fridge and spend your time enjoying the best spot on the Kenai river!
