A rare opportunity to own to one of Canada’s finest luxury fly-in wilderness lodges. This award-winning lakefront lodge is located in the Yukon region amongst some of the most spectacular scenery Canada has to offer. As can be seen in the attached Photo Gallery, the lodge was built and renovated for seven years with no expense spared with upgrades and ongoing maintenance continued each summer.
The lodge sits on the banks of an 8-mile-long by 1.5-mile-wide lake surrounded by towering mountains in the heart of the Yukon’s Ruby Range. No other structure is found on this beautiful lake, something that is rare, even in Canada. A 1.5-hour flight in a float plane from Whitehorse, the lodge is 140 miles northwest of Yukon’s capital city of over 30,000 residents. Included within the offering is a registered water aerodrome which may be of interest to registered pilots and aviators.
The lodge enjoys world class fly and reel fishing, and other recreational opportunities such as hiking, canoeing, kayaking, wildlife observation and photography. For the serious anglers, the pristine glacial lake offers up the opportunity to fish lake trout, arctic grayling, northern pike and whitefish.
Situated on 4.0 acres of fee simple land the lodge enjoys many modern amenities such as full internet capabilities, hot tub, sauna, gourmet kitchen and a bar and lounge area. The lodge and its appliances are powered by a recently installed and state of the art solar panel field, as well as diesel back up.
The current owner has been operating the business in a limited capacity in recent years, choosing to take on no more than around 30 guests per season. Guests travel to this location from around the world to experience a high-end luxury wilderness experience.
Revenue/profitability for the past few years has been well below historic levels with excellent potential for growth under new ownership. The lodge was under major renovations and upgrades from 20102017 and only began taking on paying clients the past few seasons. There is a significant opportunity for a prospective buyer to generate meaningful income through the operation of a full-time wilderness lodge and winter wilderness resort with the implementation of certain upgrades.
The current owner purchased the lodge in 2010 and has spared no expense upgrading and expanding the property. Some of the recent upgrades include:
Requiring over 100 tons of material to be flown in over seven years by floatplanes and helicopters, the lodge is now a world class luxury lodge on one of the most pristine lakeside settings in the world. The opportunities to own this property for personal pleasure and business possibilities are meaningful.
Lodge Equipment – The lodge has always been committed to having the nothing but the best equipment in its marketplace, whether that is the boats, the kitchen equipment, the cabins or the lodge itself. The lodge is advertised as a luxury wilderness lodge, and that is what guests expect. As can be seen by the pictures in the Photo Gallery, the premises are very well maintained every season and includes all new equipment, boats, a workshop and custom-made solid oak furniture from Switzerland especially for the lodge.

For the more adventurous, there are more demanding routes in the surrounding mountains, which range in altitude from 1,500 to 2,000 metres. A stay at the lodge can easily be combined with tours in the nearby Kluane National Park. On request we can organize flights (also sightseeing flights) departing from the lodge.

The original lodge on this site was built in 1969 but was destroyed by a fire in 1981. The property remained vacant until 1986, when a new owner purchased the 4-acre plot and spent the next six years rebuilding. By 1992, the lodge was fully operational again, running each summer from June to September. In 2010, the property was purchased by the current owner.
Thanks to the natural beauty and serenity of the lake, the area attracted many repeat visitors, including Chris Tarrant from London, England. In 2002, Martha Stewart filmed part of her vacation show there, describing the location as “as close to paradise as one could get on Earth.”
