On the Kenai River overlooking the Kenai Flats and the Kenai River Special Management Area with no homes on the opposite riverbank! The private river frontage is within the Personal Use Dip Net Area. An electric lift delivers you and your salmon catch from the riverbank to the lawn. Imagine catching salmon at home! Moose and caribou frequent the .92- acre property while bald eagles perch in its trees. The Kenai Flats hosts thousands of waterfowl during their migrations. Watch beluga whales and harbor seals as they share the bounty of this amazing river and gulls diving for hooligan. This unique opportunity is less than 4 river miles above the mouth of the Kenai River allowing tides to create an ever-changing experience year-round.
