    KENNY LAKE MERCANTILE & RV PARK COPPER RIVER VALLEY | KENNY LAKE, ALASKAA Rare 28A± Acre Alaska Commercial, Hospitality & RV Destination with Multiple Established Revenue Streams Edgerton Highway | Kenny Lake / Copper Center Area, Alaska Approximately 28.29 Acres | Mercantile | Fuel | Lodging | Diner | Laundromat | RV Park | Residence MORE THAN A BUSINESS. MORE THAN REAL ESTATE. AN OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A PIECE OF THE ALASKA EXPERIENCE. Kenny Lake Mercantile & RV Park presents a rare opportunity to acquire an established Alaska business, substantial commercial real estate, hospitality accommodations, campground infrastructure, owner or employee housing, equipment, vehicles, and inventory in one diversified offering. Situated on approximately 28.29 acres along the Edgerton Highway, this property serves both the local Kenny Lake community and travelers exploring one of Alaska's most remarkable recreational and tourism regions. This is not simply a convenience store. It is a multi-faceted commercial and hospitality property bringing together retail, gasoline and diesel sales, propane service, lodging, food service, public laundry and showers, RV and tent camping, residential accommodations, and substantial highway-oriented acreage. For an owner-operator or family looking to build a life and business in Alaska, much of the foundation is already here. Operate the existing businesses. Expand the hospitality component. Develop additional uses across the acreage. Build upon the property's position along a travel corridor leading toward Chitina, McCarthy, Kennecott, and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve. The infrastructure is established. The revenue streams are diversified. The next chapter is ready to be written. A COMPLETE ALASKA OWNER-OPERATOR, COMMERCIAL & HOSPITALITY OPPORTUNITY The strength of Kenny Lake Mercantile & RV Park is the diversity found on a single property. A customer stopping for fuel can purchase groceries and supplies, grab something to eat, use the laundromat or showers, stay overnight in the hotel, or pull into the campground. Local residents provide an important year-round customer base, while summer travelers, fishermen, hunters, RVers, tourists, and recreational visitors add another dimension to the operation. The result is a property designed around multiple complementary uses rather than dependence upon a single source of business. PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS Approximately 28 Acres of Commercial, Hospitality & Recreational Potential Approximately 28.29 gross acres / 28.23 net acres Established Kenny Lake Mercantile & RV Park operation Significant Edgerton Highway exposure Mercantile and convenience retail operation Gasoline and diesel sales Propane service Four-room hotel Public laundromat Public showers and restroom facilities Diner / cafe 19 established RV and camping sites Four-bedroom residence Gift shop / office / indoor recreation space Multiple storage and support structures Existing well and septic infrastructure Fuel infrastructure Customary FF&E, vehicles, equipment and inventory intended to convey, subject to final sale terms and exclusions Substantial additional acreage offering future flexibility, subject to applicable approvals and site conditions Year-round local customer base with additional seasonal tourism and recreational traffic MERCANTILE & RETAIL OPERATION An Established Community and Traveler-Oriented Business At the heart of the property is the approximately 1,500-square-foot mercantile/store, serving as the primary retail operation and control point for fuel and propane sales. The store provides a variety of merchandise supporting both area residents and visitors traveling through the Copper River region. Reported merchandise categories include: Convenience and grocery items Fishing and outdoor gear Alaska souvenirs Apparel and outdoor clothing Ice Firewood Tobacco products Blankets and travel necessities Customary convenience-store merchandise The operation combines the characteristics of a neighborhood mercantile with those of a highway travel stop, creating an important connection between the surrounding community and seasonal visitor traffic. FUEL & PROPANE Essential Services Along an Important Alaska Travel Corridor Fuel service adds another important component to the property's diversified operation. Existing seller-owned fuel infrastructure includes: 2,000-gallon unleaded gasoline aboveground tank 1,000-gallon diesel aboveground tank Fuel canopy Wayne fuel dispenser FuelBot system Unbranded fuel operation with no reported fuel supply agreement Propane service is also available through rented propane equipment. The property's location is particularly noteworthy for travelers continuing toward Chitina and the remote McCarthy Road corridor. National Park Service travel guidance identifies Kenny Lake as one of the communities where travelers should obtain fuel before continuing toward McCarthy, with no gasoline available along the McCarthy Road itself. HOTEL, LAUNDRY & SHOWER FACILITIES Hospitality Infrastructure Serving Travelers, Workers & Recreational Guests A two-story commercial building adds several complementary hospitality uses. The approximately 768-square-foot first floor contains the public laundromat, showers, and restroom facilities. Above it is an approximately 768-square-foot hotel area containing: Four guest rooms Open/common area Microwave Refrigerator Table and chairs These facilities create natural crossover between overnight guests, campers, highway travelers, seasonal workers, and recreational visitors. The combination of lodging, showers, laundry, food, fuel, and retail in one location is an important feature of the property. DINER / CAFE Food Service Adds Another Revenue-Producing Component Connected to the laundromat building is an approximately 408-square-foot diner/cafe. The seller reports that the diner underwent a complete remodel in 2015, including new equipment. The food-service component provides another opportunity to serve local residents, hotel guests, campground visitors, and travelers passing through the area while complementing the property's existing retail and hospitality operations. RV PARK & CAMPGROUND Stay, Explore & Experience the Copper River Region The property includes 19 established RV and camping sites, providing an existing foundation for recreational and tourism-oriented hospitality. The campground includes: 10 electrical RV sites 9 dry/tent sites Picnic tables at reported dry/tent sites Fire rings or pits Four leveled tent areas Potable water access Septic dump facilities Access to public showers Portable toilets for after-hours use For travelers exploring the Copper River Valley, Chitina, McCarthy, Kennecott, and Wrangell-St. Elias country, the campground provides a practical base from which to experience the surrounding region. For future ownership, the approximately 28-acre property may also offer opportunities to further develop or enhance the recreational component, subject to site conditions and applicable governmental approvals. OWNER OR EMPLOYEE RESIDENCE Live Where You Work An approximately 1,152-square-foot four-bedroom residence is located on the property, providing a valuable housing component for an owner-operator, manager, employees, or potentially another use. The residence includes: Four bedrooms One bathroom Water Septic The seller describes the residence as livable with some repairs needed. In a rural Alaska business environment where employee and management housing can be an important operational consideration, having residential accommodations already located on the property adds meaningful flexibility. ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS & IMPROVEMENTS Infrastructure Supporting a Diverse Operation Beyond the primary commercial buildings, the property contains multiple supporting structures. Known improvements include: Gift Shop / Office / Recreation Building - Approximately 480 SF Currently utilized for office rental and as indoor recreation space for campers during inclement weather. Air Shed - Approximately 320 SF Used for air compressor equipment, lawn tools, and fuel-pump tools. Trapper Cabin with Arctic Entry - Approximately 388 SF Log cabin currently utilized as dry storage. Garage / Ice House Additional support structure with final dimensions to be verified. Residence Storage Shed Additional storage supporting the residential and commercial operation. Known measured building area totals approximately 5,784 square feet, before adding the garage/ice house and residence storage shed. WATER, SEPTIC & OPERATING INFRASTRUCTURE Established Systems Supporting Multiple Uses The property contains significant infrastructure supporting its commercial, residential, hospitality, and campground operations. Reported systems include: Primary well approximately 265 feet deep Commercial septic system with two approximately 2,000-gallon tanks in tandem Approximately 4,000 gallons of total septic tank capacity Elevated leach field Separate residential water and septic Campground potable water Septic dump facilities Generator Fuel storage and dispensing infrastructure The seller reports the commercial septic system is pumped annually in the fall. EQUIPMENT, VEHICLES & OPERATING ASSETS A Business Designed to Continue Operating The offering is intended to include customary furniture, fixtures, equipment, vehicles, and operating assets, subject to final documentation and agreed exclusions. Identified assets include items such as: 2013 box van Riding lawn mower and grounds equipment Case W14 Loader with Bucket + Snow plow attachment Diner freezer Commercial coolers Pizza preparation equipment Oven Commercial sink Ice-making and merchandising equipment Generator POS/computer equipment Trash pump and hose Store freezer Commercial laundry equipment Snow-plow truck Ice cream merchandising/freezer equipment Fuel dispensing equipment Normal store merchandise inventory has also been represented as part of the contemplated sale structure, subject to final purchase agreement terms and closing reconciliation. RECENT IMPROVEMENTS & EQUIPMENT UPDATES Ownership has continued investing in various operating systems and equipment. Reported improvements and replacements include: Newer Wayne fuel dispenser New signage and conversion to an unbranded fuel operation Ice maker and ice merchandiser work Rain gutters on the store and laundry building Two 80-gallon water heaters New furnace New chimney/vent runs Double-stack dryer Replacement riding lawn mower Additional commercial washers planned/reported for 2026 Diner/cafe remodel and equipment improvements Specific dates, costs, installation status, and equipment details should be independently verified during buyer due diligence. LOCATION ADVANTAGES Gateway to McCarthy, Kennecott & Wrangell-St. Elias Country Location is one of the most compelling aspects of this opportunity. Kenny Lake Mercantile & RV Park is positioned along the Edgerton Highway corridor, which connects travelers from the Richardson Highway toward: Kenny Lake Chitina McCarthy Kennecott Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve Copper River recreational areas Fishing destinations Hunting areas Backcountry and wilderness recreation The Edgerton Highway extends approximately 33 paved miles from the Richardson Highway to Chitina, where travelers can continue onto the approximately 60-mile McCarthy Road. This places the property along an established route used by local residents, tourists, fishermen, hunters, RV travelers, and visitors heading toward one of Alaska's most extraordinary wilderness regions. Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve recorded 108,840 recreational visits in 2025, illustrating the broader tourism draw of the region. Park-wide visitation should not be interpreted as direct traffic past the property. COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITIES Multiple Revenue Streams. One Alaska Property. Kenny Lake Mercantile & RV Park offers unusual flexibility because so many complementary operations are already located together. Existing and potential uses include: Mercantile / Convenience Store Gasoline & Diesel Sales Propane Service Four-Room Hotel RV Park Tent Campground Laundromat Public Showers Diner / Cafe Gift Shop Outdoor & Fishing Merchandise Owner-Operator Residence Employee Housing Traveler Services Tourism-Oriented Hospitality Recreational Basecamp Expanded Camping or Hospitality Uses Additional Commercial Development Any future expansion, redevelopment, or change of use would be subject to applicable access, soils, utilities, land-use requirements, and governmental approvals. INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS Why This Alaska Opportunity Stands Apart Approximately 28 acres Established operating business Real estate and business offered together Multiple complementary revenue streams Significant highway exposure Retail and convenience operation Gasoline and diesel sales Propane service Four-room hotel Diner / cafe Public laundromat and showers 19-site RV park and campground Four-bedroom residence Multiple commercial and support buildings Existing water and septic infrastructure Fuel infrastructure FF&E and operating equipment Vehicles Inventory contemplated with sale Local year-round customer base Seasonal tourism and recreation exposure Gateway location toward Chitina, McCarthy and Kennecott Access to the greater Wrangell-St. Elias region Substantial acreage with potential flexibility for future ownership Owner-operator / family-business opportunity Rare combination of business, real estate, hospitality, recreation and lifestyle A BUSINESS, A PROPERTY & AN ALASKA LIFESTYLE For the right buyer, Kenny Lake Mercantile & RV Park offers something increasingly difficult to find: the ability to purchase not simply a business or a parcel of commercial real estate, but an established way of life with multiple operating components already in place. A new owner can live on the property, operate the mercantile, sell fuel, welcome hotel guests, host RV travelers and campers, provide food and traveler services, and become part of a rural Alaska community while exploring the property's future potential. The acreage provides room. The existing businesses provide diversification. The highway provides visibility and access. And the surrounding Copper River and Wrangell-St. Elias region provides the Alaska experience that brings people here in the first place. THE BUSINESS IS ESTABLISHED. THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS IN PLACE. THE OPPORTUNITY IS YOURS TO BUILD UPON. PROPERTY SUMMARY Kenny Lake Mercantile & RV Park represents a distinctive opportunity to acquire approximately 28.29 acres of Alaska commercial real estate together with an established diversified business operation serving residents, travelers, recreational visitors, fishermen, hunters, RVers, and tourists. Combining mercantile retail, fuel, propane service, lodging, dining, laundry and showers, RV and tent camping, residential accommodations, support buildings, equipment, vehicles, inventory, and substantial acreage, the property brings together numerous components that would be difficult and costly to recreate individually. Its location along the Edgerton Highway and the travel corridor toward Chitina, McCarthy, Kennecott, and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve gives future ownership a compelling platform from which to continue operating, improve, expand, and create the next generation of this established Alaska business. This isn't simply a place to invest in Alaska. It's an opportunity to own, operate, live, and build a future in Alaska.
