15 Acres of Remote Alaska
With approximately 15 acres, this property provides the space and privacy many remote Alaska buyers are searching for.
The land offers an established destination rather than simply an undeveloped parcel—you already have three small cabins waiting at the property.
Use them as:
- Hunting cabins
- Sleeping cabins
- Family recreational cabins
- Basecamp accommodations
- Gear and equipment storage
- A starting point for future improvements
Keep the property rustic and simple or gradually develop it into your own Alaska wilderness retreat.
Three Hunting Cabins Already in Place
One of the biggest advantages of this property is that you don't have to begin with completely raw land.
There are three small hunting cabins already located on the property.
For a recreational buyer, that means having shelter and an established basecamp from the beginning.
Bring your gear, supplies, and plans for the future.
Spend hunting season here.
Use it as a family wilderness retreat.
Or make improvements over time and turn the property into something uniquely yours.
This is the type of place where memories are made around the woodstove, stories are told after long days outdoors, and returning to camp becomes something you look forward to all year.
Trail Access from the Tok Cutoff
This is a remote trail-access property, and buyers should understand the nature of that access before considering ownership.
The trail begins at approximately Mile 77 of the Tok Cutoff.
From there, access is approximately 3 to 4 miles by trail.
Depending on the season and conditions, access may include:
- Hiking
- Snowmachine travel during suitable winter conditions
- Other trail travel where conditions and legal access permit
A canoe is already located on-site and is included with the property, providing transportation across the water during appropriate open-water conditions.
For some buyers, this type of access isn't an inconvenience.
It's exactly what they're looking for.

Near Mentasta Lake in Alaska's Eastern Interior
The Mentasta Lake region places you in an extraordinary part of Alaska between the Copper River Basin and the Upper Tanana country.
This is big country—mountains, forests, lakes, wildlife, and enormous stretches of Alaska wilderness.
The property offers the kind of setting that attracts people looking for more than simply another piece of recreational land.
They're looking for a place to get away.
A place to hunt.
A place to explore.
And a place where Alaska still feels like Alaska.
An Alaska Hunting Basecamp
This property is particularly well suited to someone looking for a private recreational or hunting basecamp.
With three existing cabins and 15 acres, you already have a place to establish camp while exploring the surrounding region.
Depending on applicable hunting regulations, seasons, game populations, and access, the greater region offers opportunities associated with Alaska's Interior wilderness.
Anyone purchasing property specifically for hunting should independently review current Alaska Department of Fish and Game regulations, game management units, land ownership, and legal access before relying on the property for a particular hunting activity.

Snowmachine Into Your Alaska Cabin
Winter transforms remote Alaska.
When snow and trail conditions cooperate, the trip into the property can become part of the experience.
Load the snowmachine.
Pack your supplies.
Leave the highway behind.
And head toward your own private cabin in the Alaska backcountry.
Conditions can change dramatically from season to season, so buyers should never assume that a particular trail or mode of transportation will be usable at all times.
That's part of understanding true remote Alaska ownership.
Cross the River by Canoe
During open-water conditions, the river becomes part of the journey.
A canoe is already positioned at the river and comes with the sale.
Paddle across the river, unload your gear, and continue into your own wilderness retreat.
For buyers accustomed to conventional road-access homes, that may sound unusual.
For people who understand Alaska's remote lifestyle, it sounds like an adventure.
Build on What Is Already Here
Three cabins provide a head start, but 15 acres gives you room to think beyond what's currently developed.
Depending on your goals and applicable requirements, you may choose to:
- Improve the existing cabins
- Create a larger primary recreational cabin
- Establish additional storage
- Develop trails around the property
- Create outdoor gathering areas
- Maintain most of the acreage in its natural state
There is no need to overdevelop a property like this.
Part of its value is the wilderness itself.
Off-Grid Means Planning Ahead
This is genuine remote Alaska property, and ownership requires preparation.
Power, heat, water, sanitation, fuel, food storage, communications, and transportation all need to be considered differently than they would with a conventional road-system property.
That's also part of what makes these properties so rewarding.
You're creating a place designed around independence.
