Description
Set along a quiet stretch of shoreline in Whale Pass on Prince of Wales Island, this thoughtfully crafted waterfront residence offers a rare combination of privacy, functionality, and authentic Southeast Alaska living. Positioned to capture expansive ocean views and immediate access to some of the region's most productive fishing grounds, the property is well-suited as a seasonal retreat, full-time residence, or legacy holding.Constructed with full-dimension, locally sourced old-growth Sitka spruce, red cedar, and hemlock, the home reflects a level of craftsmanship and material quality that is increasingly difficult to replicate. The 4-bedroom, 2-bath layout provides comfortable accommodations for extended stays or hosting guests, while the interior balances rustic character with practical updates. The home is equipped for efficient, independent living with a new Toyo diesel furnace, a Kitchen Queen wood cook stove with integrated water preheating, updated appliances, and a generous pantry. Energy flexibility is a key feature, with a 5.4 kW solar system, backup diesel generator, and connection to AP&T grid power. A roof catchment system with a 3,000-gallon cistern and gravity-fed backup ensures a reliable year-round water supply. Outdoors, the property offers a highly usable and established setting. Two shops, Chicken house, Barn, 8 x 12 root cellar, large garden/orchard with mature fruit trees and berry bushes. The private beachfront provides immediate access for beachcombing, wildlife viewing, or fishing, while a cedar hot tub is ideally positioned to take in the surrounding natural landscape.Access is straightforward yet preserves the sense of seclusion, with vehicle access at low tide and a short skiff ride from the Whale Pass dock.Whale Pass is known for its protected waters, exceptional salmon and halibut fishing, and abundant wildlife, offering a setting that remains largely unchanged and increasingly sought after.Optional boats and additional personal property may be available, allowing for a turnkey transition.
