I am no match for the turbines, but my t206 will take off full tank plus tips with 6 people on board in less than 1,000 ft

Quest Kodiac, PAC 750XL. Might be in that mix. Here is a video of the PAC 750XL. It is germane to note that I have flown into these strips in a 550 powered and TSIO520 powered C-206. Theses runways are about 500 meters and are at 5000msl temps in the 80’s. Oh each of those bags is about 70kg of green bean coffe.

Why does it even have to be a turbine Beaver? Dad restored a stock Beaver he bought Army Surplus back in the day. We used to get airborne in about 300' of grass even in the Texas heat with just two aboard. 18,000' service ceiling. 2000 lb useful. They are pretty awesome on wheels instead of huge amphib floats. Lands as slow as a Cub.
