About This Home
Your dream vacation cabin awaits! Waterfront, in some of the best fishing & whale watching waters around, this cabin is well-built & exactly what you need for Alaskan summers away! Measuring 12x24', with 2 lofts plus a deck, it is close to completion. With 2 mooring buoys & deep water, you can arrive by boat & start living wild & free right away. Off-grid, water accessible only & no property tax! Set on 124 feet of waterfront and 0.79 acres on the west side of Wadleigh Island, this property offers both privacy and possibility. A small covered front deck continuing to a larger side deck provide the perfect spots to take in the stunning scenery - rain or shine. Pull up a chair and watch whales pass by, (we saw and heard several whales while we were there!) or head out into the surrounding waters, known for some of the best fishing around Prince of Wales Island. The cabin appears to be well constructed with 2x6' framing, Milgard windows, snap-lock roofing, and beautiful red cedar board-and-batten siding. Built in 2019 on concrete footings with treated wood pilings, it's a solid foundation for your dream retreat. Additional materials - including insulation, flooring, and a 3500-watt generator, are already on site. Inside, the layout is simple and functional, ready to be finished to your taste. A bright living area faces the water, complemented by a small sleeping space with a bunk and a bathroom area (not yet enclosed). A cooking bench with camp stove and sink is in place, and loft spaces at both the front and back provide extra storage or sleeping quarters for guests. The septic system is installed with a toilet in place; it's home designed with EZ drain tubes and separate fields for the black and grey water. Add a rain catchment system and you're well on your way to full functionality. A variety of extras can be included to make your transition even easier - camping gear, tools, and lots of extras are available with a good offer if desired. Don't have a boat? No problem. Make it a turn-key fishing experience for an extra $15,000. The boat is a 20ft Bayrunner, a welded boat, perfect for Alaskan conditions. Bayrunners are known as rugged, seaworthy boats. It comes with a 2015, 90HP Yamaha outboard with less than 100 hours on it, as well as a 2012, 8.8HP Yamaha kicker, two down riggers, an electric pot puller, a GPS fish finder, a marine radio, lifejackets, two crab pots and the trailer. Out front, the beach has been groomed for easy access - pull right up and step onto your own slice of Alaska. With excellent docking potential, you have options: build a dock or simply use the two anchored mooring buoys already in place as a haul-out system. Pull your boat up to the beach for easy unloading, then let it back out into the deep water. The west side of Wadleigh is the wild side, further from town, and ideal for spectacular summers! Approximately 20-30 minutes by boat from Craig or Klawock, you're close enough to access supplies while still feeling worlds away. Tucked among the trees, the cabin offers a private, peaceful setting, with clearings on either side that invite more light, expanded views, or additional outdoor living space. The sunsets here are truly spectacular, and wildlife is extraordinary - whales, otters, seals, and sea lions are frequent visitors right out front. Kayak the nearby islands (one sits just offshore for added shelter), or drop a line and fish to your heart's content... This property does require boat access, boat skills, and a bit of DIY spirit, but for the right buyer, it's an incredible opportunity to own a piece of authentic Alaska. As an added bonus, a 40-foot common area along the north side provides extra space from potential future neighboring properties. Opportunities like this are rare - cute cabins with nice beaches and deep water don't come along often. Here, you can unplug, slow down, and step straight into that wild, free Alaska lifestyle from day one. Whether it's fishing at sunrise, watching whales from your deck, or simply soaking in the quiet, this is true escape. Don't wait! Come see what life could look like out here...
