The value of this land is being located with its northern boundary on a legal easement access that extends east to legal access to the lake, just a walk away, and west to the other side of the island with also legal lake access. This strip of land will legally always remain vacant. Is noted on the plat map as an airstrip easement, but an airstrip has never been built and there are no plans to do so at any time, as the lake is used for float and ski planes.

No need to buy lakefront lots on this island that are being sold for close to $30,000 as you are provided with great legal access to Skilak Lake at any time, a short walk east to the lake.

This land is very unique in being on an island, where access is by boat, snow machine, and float/ski plane. There are about 15 cabins on the island, with 99% of the land being forested land with trails to the lot. Most of the cabins are vacation homes, though some hearty souls live on the island full time. Though island roads were platted, that are only trails to get into and around the island by foot or ATV.

Island living will give you a very unique Alaskan experience being private and secluded from any town or city, though the town of Cooper Landing is only 24 miles away, and town of Soldotna 28 miles west.

I have made the price with my owner financing that should allow a purchase by most families.

You can drive from Cooper Landing on Highway 1, to Skilak Lake Road, to the Upper Skilak Lake Campground, where there is a public boat ramp and travel about 3 miles to the island, by boat or snow machine.

This northern part of Skilak Lake is in the Skilak Lake Wildlife Recreation Area.

Alaska is rightly known as the Last Frontier with over 50% of all the state being still untamed.

People own here for the awesome, unique beauty of the land, and the ability to live free as they choose, being the core character of Alaskans.

This is a highly sought-after area for the Kenai River fisherman, as you are only a short distance from the river. In other words, you can fish besides in Lake Skilak, also the razzle dazzle of the Kenai River, which forms both the inlet or outlet of Skilak Lake, so for your boating or fishing pleasure it does not get any better! There are boat launching areas off Skilak Lake Road at 2 lakeside campgrounds.

To the south you have the Wildlife Refuge, which will provide you with many photo opps for the abundant Alaskan wildlife.

The Kenai River flows all the way from the town of Kenai on the Cook Inlet into the western part of Skilak Lake.

The nearest town of Cooper Landing was first settled in the 19th century by gold and mineral prospectors, and has become a popular summer tourist destination thanks to its scenic location and proximity to the salmon fishery of the Kenai River and Russian River.

Tucked away in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge near Soldotna, Skilak Lake is a rare combination of accessibility and Alaskan Wilderness. Called a "miniature Alaska" by some because it includes every major habitat type found in Alaska, the Kenai Peninsula is a fantastic place to explore, and Skilak Lake is a great place to start.

Skilak Lake is fed by the Kenai River and melt water from the Skilak Glacier. Skilak Lake is a very deep lake in a valley that was carved by past glaciers. The lake is a huge 15 miles long and four miles wide at its widest point, being a very large lake size of 38,400 acres. The mainland lakeshore ranges from gently sloping spruce and aspen forests to imposing vertical rock walls on the south border which is all wilderness.

There are healthy populations of rainbow trout, lake trout, and Dolly Varden, a relative of the artic char. Spring and fall are great times to fish for Kenai rainbow and Mackinaw lake trout, and in the winter the ice fishing is exceptional. Lots of salmon spawn in the lake and along with Kenai Lake it is the most important sockeye nursery in the Kenai River System. Chinook Salmon spawn on a section of the Kenai River between Kenai Lake and Skilak Lake. World famous lake for Salmon Fishing. Skilak Lake is home for ninety percent of the salmon fry in both lakes and has the most of any nursery in the Cook Inlet area.

Skilak Lake Loop Road, part of the first highway built on the Kenai Peninsula in 1947, is a 19 mile loop through the Skilak Wildlife Recreation Area. The Skilak Lake Loop Road connects to the scenic Sterling Highway 1 and provides access to both Upper and Lower Skilak Lake Campgrounds. In addition to camp sites, fire pits, and restrooms, both campgrounds have boat launches.

Skilak Lake and the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge are in brown bear territory. In addition to brown bear, visitors will find black bear, moose, wolves, coyotes, lynx, beavers and many others. The bird watching is also exceptional.

The neaby Kenai National Wildlife Refuge began in 1941 when President Roosevelt dedicated 1,730,000 acres as the Kenai National Moose Range. The area's history is far older. About 10,000 years ago the peninsula was covered by glacial ice part of which is the Harding Ice Field today. After the ice receded, the area was inhabited by both Indians and Eskimos. In 1778 British Sea Explorer Captain Cook claimed the Kenai Peninsula for England. By the mid 1800's Russian fur trappers had negatively impacted populations of otters and other fur bearing mammals. President Roosevelt dedicated the Kenai National Moose Range to protect the area and in 1980 the Alaska Natural Interest Lands Conservation Act changed the name to the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and expanded its size to 1.92 million acres.

The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge is a national treasure and Skilak Lake is one of its gems. Its proximity to Soldotna and Cooper Landing and amenities and accommodations make it an accessible Alaska getaway.

Comments from Satisfied Customers:

Our family purchased an Alaska property from Mr. Leu that we would never be able to afford except for his discounted sales price.

We received our Warranty Deed registered in Alaska. Though we have not built on our land, and that is something we are now exploring, we have camped. The beauty of the land and area is just breathtaking.

Thank you Mr. Leu for the Alaska land we purchased from you. You did exactly as you stated for us, and the land is even better than described. We built an off the grid cabin by the lake, and our purchase has become a family dream come true.
