Izembek Lodge — Hunting & Fishing Lodge/Retreat For Sale, Cold Bay, Alaska
Izembek Lodge sits in Cold Bay, Alaska, adjacent to Izembek National Wildlife Refuge at the end of the Alaska Peninsula. The refuge and surrounding waters are known for outstanding waterfowl hunting — goose, puddle duck, diver, and sea ducks — alongside strong salmon fishing. The lodge currently operates guided and do-it-yourself waterfowl and fishing packages from September to October.
There is opportunity to expand the operating season: fishing could start as early as July, and waterfowl hunting — including sea ducks — can run until mid-December. The property is also available December through August for off-season rentals. For a group of hunters, Izembek Lodge would work equally well as a personal hunting and fishing retreat.
The property has 3 buildings: the main 2-story lodge, a 3-car garage, and a guide shack. The main lodge has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, dining room, and sitting area, and accommodates 8 people. The lodge connects to the garage by a wraparound deck.
The garage has 3 bays, 2 guest rooms with 4 beds, and a bathroom. Above the garage sits a fully furnished 2-bedroom apartment. The guide shack has electricity but no water, and provides additional bed space used by staff during the guiding season.
The sale includes 8 vehicles (4 Suburbans and 4 pickups), a complete shop with automotive and construction tools, a commercial grade vacuum packer, and 4 boats with motors. Fishing poles and tackle for salmon and halibut, and decoys for waterfowl hunting, are also included. There are 3 conex shipping containers on the property for storage, currently full of construction supplies.
Izembek Lodge sits on 5 acres on a bluff overlooking Cold Bay. The town of Cold Bay is well connected to the outside world: it has the second largest runway in Alaska, capable of handling any size of aircraft. Cold Bay is currently served by Aleutian Airways, providing service to and from Anchorage, with several charter companies also operating in the area.
