5268 S Big Lake Road, Big Lake, AK 99652
Overview
Description
Supplements: ... (Read more) reimagined as a resort-style restaurant, a lakeside event venue, or returned to its roots as an exceptional private residence. Fully updated throughout, the building is appointed for hospitality at scale: a full commercial kitchen, wet bars on both levels, and multiple dining and gathering spaces that open toward the water. Upstairs, two separate rooms serve readily as private dining, meeting, or staging areas, with ramp access from the rear and accessible bathrooms throughout. Integrated living quarters lend flexibility for an owner-operator or on-site manager -- or form the foundation for a return to comfortable single-family living. Outside, more than 1,500 square feet of covered deck and patio overlook the lake, ready to be set with tables or cleared for dancing beneath the Alaskan sky. A private dock and direct lake access complete the setting, with impeccable views across Big Lake from nearly every vantage. With appropriate licensing, the Boathouse is well suited to reopen as a year-round restaurant; with vision, it becomes something entirely its owner's own. Offered alongside the neighboring McKinley House -- a nearly 10,000-square-foot, twelve-bedroom lakefront estate on 3.2 acres -- the two properties together present a singular combined opportunity on Big Lake, whether held as a unified waterfront compound or a turnkey hospitality destination.
