Description

Alaska Forest and Trail B&B, an exceptional property spanning 18.55 acres, nestled in the charming town of Hope, Alaska. This property holds a truly unique distinction as the sole privately owned land along Resurrection Creek from Anchorage to Soldotna, thanks to its status as a Patented Inholding with full mineral rights. Such a distinction is exceedingly rare in Alaskawhere the government typically retains ownership of mineral rights on public lands, requiring separate permits and leases for mineral exploration and development.

This extraordinary property, which has been closely held by the same family for three generations, is now available for purchase, offering unlimited potential for the next owner. Situated as the gateway between Anchorage and the Kenai Peninsula, it enjoys a prime location just a few hours' drive from both directions, providing convenient access to urban amenities and limitless recreational experiences.

Cabins built with Foundations, so Conventional Financing is possible! Also with favorable owner financing options, including the possibility of a 50% down payment, this property presents an enticing opportunity. The busy season spans from mid-May to mid-September, offering ample opportunities for revenue generation.

Nature enthusiasts will be delighted by the exceptional salmon fishing opportunities, which surpass even those of the renowned Kenai River. The property's close proximity to Anchorage ensures convenient access via well-maintained roads. Additionally, the area offers the state's premier rafting experience at 6 Mile, along with bike races and concerts. In the last 10 years, Hope has become a destination for concerts, partying, and races. There are trail heads directly on the property with trails that are not as known but accessible from the property.

Guests are also welcome to bring their RVs, as the property boasts the best RV parking facilities in the region, although it is not heavily promoted to ensure cabin visitors enjoy utmost privacy.

Further potential lies in organizing van tours to showcase the scenic wonders of the Kenai Peninsula, while the forthcoming new port at Whittier is expected to significantly transform the area. Notably, Homer is also set to receive a new port, adding to the appeal of the region.

The property's impressive gold tours, while currently not extensively advertised, provide an unparalleled experience for visitors. Guests are treated to a demonstration of gold extraction techniques, including how to concentrate, sluice, and pan for golda captivating 2 to 3-hour activity for small groups.

Adding to the property's allure, another 10 cabins can be constructed, expanding the accommodation capacity. Hot water tanks are conveniently located beneath the buildings, while water is pumped into the cabins via a 12V pump, similar to RV systems. FLUSHING TOILETS! Power is supplied through generators, offering self-sufficiency akin to an RV setup.

The property's irrigation system relies on a spring situated near the pond, providing a continuous water supply at a steady pressure of 25 lbs psi. The system is straightforward and has never failed. Furthermore, hot water heaters, stoves, and refrigerators operate on propane, ensuring efficient functionality.

A dedicated groundskeeper takes care of various maintenance tasks, primarily focusing on security measures for the property. The soil composition on the land is devoid of clay, eliminating the challenges typically associated with clay soils and septic systems.
