AN ESTABLISHED REMOTE ALASKA ENTERPRISE ON THE KUSKOKWIM RIVER CORRIDOR

Hills Enterprises LLC presents a rare opportunity to acquire an established business and real estate operation in Sleetmute, Alaska, combining lodging, retail, fuel distribution, aviation supported remote fuel delivery, residential housing, shops, storage and extensive utility infrastructure within one diversified operation.

Known through Hills Lodge, Hills Store and Lodge, Hills on the Kuskokwim and Sleetmute Fuel, the property has been developed to serve the realities of life and commerce in rural Alaska.

Located approximately 50 yards from the Kuskokwim River and a state maintained airstrip, the property is strategically positioned near two transportation systems that are fundamental to this region of Alaska.

A particularly unique component of the offering is the aircraft used to deliver fuel to remote facilities, providing the fuel operation with capabilities extending well beyond the immediate Sleetmute community.

This is much more than a lodge. It is an established remote Alaska operating base bringing together real estate, multiple business activities, aviation capability, housing and substantial infrastructure in one acquisition.

6,650± SQUARE FEET OF DESCRIBED BUILDING SPACE

The scale of Hills Enterprises extends well beyond the primary lodge. Based on the building dimensions provided, the property contains approximately 6,660± square feet of described lodge, residential, commercial, shop, storage, greenhouse and utility building space, plus decks, covered areas, heated crawl spaces and supporting infrastructure.

• Two story smokehouse
• Central wood boiler system
• Generator and battery storage systems
• Solar inverter equipment

• Approximately 50 yards from the Kuskokwim River and state maintained airstrip

HILLS LODGE

At the center of the property is a substantial two story lodge measuring approximately 32' × 48', providing approximately 3,072 square feet between the two primary floors, plus decks, covered entrances, crawl space and supporting areas.

SECOND FLOOR

The upper level provides the primary guest accommodations:

• 6 bedrooms
• 2 bathrooms
• Dedicated upstairs entrance
• Upper deck access

The accommodations provide an established foundation for serving visitors, workers, hunters, fishermen and travelers coming into the Sleetmute area.

FIRST FLOOR

The main level integrates the hospitality and retail components of the operation:

• Approximately one quarter dedicated to the general store
• Approximately one quarter dedicated to the kitchen, utilities and store entrance
• Approximately one half dedicated to dining, living and common areas

LODGE FEATURES

• 32' × 12' west end deck
• 8' × 26' upper and lower deck and stair system
• 8' × 10' covered south entrance
• 4 foot green wood foundation on concrete footings
• Heated crawl space

The configuration allows lodging, retail and gathering areas to operate from one central building while maintaining dedicated guest accommodations upstairs.

HILLS STORE

Integrated into the lodge is the established Hills Store, providing a retail component to the overall enterprise.

In a remote Alaska community, access to everyday goods and supplies can be an important part of local infrastructure. The store is supported by dedicated retail space along with freezer, beverage, product and general storage capacity.

The store complements the other components of Hills Enterprises while providing an additional potential source of revenue from the property.

SLEETMUTE FUEL

The Sleetmute Fuel operation adds another significant commercial component to Hills Enterprises.

Fuel plays an important role in rural Alaska, supporting aircraft, boats, ATVs, snowmachines, generators and equipment used throughout remote communities and facilities.

AIRCRAFT INCLUDED

An airplane used to deliver fuel to remote facilities and locations is included with the offering.

The aviation component gives the fuel operation the ability to reach locations beyond conventional road transportation and provides a specialized business capability that distinguishes Hills Enterprises from a traditional lodge or general store acquisition.

The fuel operation, aircraft and associated business assets are included subject to the final purchase agreement and agreed asset inventory.

ENERGY AND UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE

Operating a commercial and residential compound of this scale in remote Alaska requires substantial infrastructure, much of which is already established at Hills Enterprises.

An approximately 8' × 16' insulated utility building on a concrete pad houses the wood boiler and serves as a central distribution point for heating and electrical service to multiple buildings.

SUPPORTING SYSTEMS INCLUDE

• Central wood boiler heating system
• Generator system
• Storage battery bank
• Solar inverter system
• Electrical switchgear
• Central electrical distribution
• Central heat distribution
• Heated crawl spaces in multiple buildings
• Freezer and product storage capacity

Approximately one third of the associated utility space is occupied by the generator, storage batteries, electrical switchgear and solar inverter equipment. The remaining area provides freezer and storage capacity for juice, soda and other store products.

This established utility network represents an important part of the overall property, particularly in a remote location where developing comparable infrastructure can require substantial time, planning and logistics.

KUSKOKWIM RIVER AND AVIATION ACCESS

Hills Enterprises is located in Sleetmute, Alaska, approximately 50 yards from the Kuskokwim River and a state maintained airstrip.

River and aviation access are integral parts of transportation throughout rural Alaska. The property's proximity to both supports its existing business operations while also providing potential for hunting and fishing accommodations, outdoor recreation, remote workforce lodging, aviation supported operations and other rural Alaska commercial uses.

MULTIPLE REVENUE STREAMS FROM ONE ESTABLISHED OPERATION

The strength of Hills Enterprises lies in the combination of business operations, real estate and infrastructure already assembled in one location.
