Looking for an affordable hunting property with tons of potential? This landlocked 40-acre parcel offers a rare opportunity for the ambitious outdoorsman, investor, or habitat enthusiast willing to roll up their sleeves and tackle a challenge. The South Fork of the Copper River winds through the property, creating a secluded wilderness setting rich with wildlife.

Whether you’re looking for a long-term investment, a hunting retreat in the making, or simply a project that rewards hard work and persistence, this property delivers plenty of opportunity at an affordable price. This property is already offered at $38,800 BELOW assessment!! The seller is highly motivated and ready to pass this unique challenge on to the next outdoor enthusiast.
