Property Description

Rare Southeast Alaska oceanfront retreat featuring two combined legal parcels totaling 95,057 square feet (~2.18 acres) with 200 feet of water frontage. The main residence is an approximately 1,000 square foot oceanfront cabin (built in 2018) perched right over the shoreline to maximize water views. There is a comfortable, serviceable cabin equipped with all the essential amenities for year-round living or seasonal getaways. Inside, the open-concept layout is highlighted by vaulted ceilings with natural log timber accents, updated ceramic plank flooring, and massive picture windows framing channel activity and passing marine wildlife. The living space centers around a cozy wood-burning stove for efficient heating transitioning seamlessly into a functional kitchen complete with solid cabinetry, a range, stainless steel refrigeration, and an island bar with counter seating. Accommodations include a private bedroom and a detached 3/4 bathroom complete with laundry hookups and a walk-in shower. Essential utilities are fully addressed with a brand new water system and a brand new on-site septic system. New in the box Toyo is on sight but not connected. Outdoor living is centered around a very large oceanfront view deck, offering front-row seating for whale watching and channel sunsets, paired with private wooden steps descending directly down to the waterfront. The grounds provide excellent utility and infrastructure, featuring a detached workshop structure, an open equipment storage bay, a covered woodshed, and an expansive driveway with generous parking and highway access. With two contiguous parcels, substantial road frontage, an established utility footprint, and a protective greenbelt neighbor, the property presents exceptional versatility. Enjoy the existing compound immediately while having plenty of room to build your future dream home, or keep the cabin as the perfect downsized Alaska homestead.
