Several factors probably go into KPG living so long.

1. He's an elf, and elves already have a prolonged life.

2. He's an ancient Snow-Elf, which probably means he has a longer life than normal elves, being closer in generation to the Ehlnofey, who were almost immortal.

3. He's probably a skilled wizard, increasing his already extended life-span.

4. He probably has a very good diet.

5. He's probably under the protection of Auri-El.

6. There may be some unknown/mystical effect over the Forgoten Vale which prolongs the lives of the creatures/people living there.
