See More... Escape to your own private island paradise in one of Alaska's premier year-round recreational areas. This exceptional Big Lake property features a beautifully maintained main residence, four private guest cabins, and a shared bathhouse, all surrounded by stunning lake views and an impressive natural setting. The island's two lakefront shorelines provide flexibility and protection from changing wind and wave conditions, with docks and cabins positioned on both sides of the property. Expansive decks, a built-in BBQ area, and inviting gathering spaces make this an ideal destination for family, friends, corporate retreats, or simply enjoying Alaska's long summer days. The grounds have been thoughtfully maintained and landscaped, with well-defined barked and graveled paths, two raised vegetable gardens, beautiful garden beds, and a waterfall flowing into a koi-style pond. The cabins' grandfathered near-water locations add to the property's unique character and functionality. Conveniently located near Burkeshore for access to Big Lake amenities, this property offers a rare combination of privacy, recreation, comfort, and usability. With approximately 7.5 months of generally easy access, plus additional access by foot, skis, or snowmachine during transitional winter conditions, the island can be enjoyed well beyond the traditional summer season.
