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.
