About This Home

With stunning ocean & mountain views, whales breaching out front & nearly 300ft of oceanfront, this island property is pure Alaska magic. Set on 1.66+ acres just a 20min boat ride to town, it includes a spacious cabin, a huge greenhouse, open grassy areas & room to build the off-grid life or fishing retreat you've dreamed of. Here beauty, privacy & possibility combine in one unforgettable setting! Live the Alaska people dream about... On the wild west side of Wadleigh Island, just 20 minutes by boat to Klawock or Craig harbors, this is the kind of place that feels pulled straight from a nature documentary -- open ocean, rugged mountains, glowing sunsets, and humpback whales spouting in the bay below your front windows. The fishing, crabbing, and shrimping here are exceptional, and the setting is nothing short of breathtaking. The property spans 1.66 acres across two parcels, separated by a 50-foot-wide greenbelt easement that creates extra space and privacy. Each parcel offers 125 feet of waterfront, giving the property an impressive shoreline presence of nearly 300 feet. Old-growth trees frame open grassy areas, creating a landscape that feels both expansive and deeply peaceful. Whether you're looking for a self-reliant homestead, a private family retreat, or the ultimate fisherman's getaway, this property is ready for the next chapter. The Cabin: Comfortable Now, Full of Potential for Later... The 28x32 cabin offers a warm, classic Alaskan feel with plenty of room build on and to grow. A generous front deck leads into a bright seaside sunroom, followed by a living room, kitchen, dining area, main bedroom, half bath, pantry, and a smaller second bedroom. Upstairs, the attic offers excellent potential for another bedroom, studio, or storage space. Originally an older home that was moved onto a strong new foundation, the cabin is full of rustic charm and character. It's partially renovated and very livable as-is, while still offering the fun creative opportunity to transform it into the ultimate seaside cabin retreat. The home currently runs on generator power and has partial conventional wiring with lamps and power cords filling in the remaining needs. Water is supplied by two 1,500-gallon tanks. A septic tank and drain field have been installed but are not yet connected to the cabin. The bathroom has a tub/shower and sink installed; the toilet has not yet been installed, and an outhouse is also on site. Greenhouse, Shop & Homestead Potential... One of the standout features on the second property is the 30x40 Oregon Valley high-tunnel greenhouse with a soaring 16-foot peak. It's sturdy, spacious, and versatile -- perfect for extending the growing season, creating a warm gathering space, or using as storage. It's so comfortable that guests have even stayed in it. Nearby is a partially built 30x40 Quonset hut shop. The foundation and first four rings are already completed, and the remaining materials are on site for the next owner to finish. There's also a large chicken coop for fresh, free-range eggs, a deep pond that serves as an additional water source, a couple of I-beams ready for a future bridge or deck, and footings already started for a potential second cabin. The setting itself is hard to overstate. Open grassy areas roll toward the shoreline, framed by towering forest and endless ocean views. It's a place that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and build a life shaped by tides, weather, fishing, gardening, and independence. For anyone dreaming of a more independent lifestyle, the infrastructure here is already well underway. Life on the Water... The beach has been groomed for easier boat landings, and there are two mooring buoys already in place with good potential for a future dock system. Because the west side of Wadleigh can see some serious winter weather, many owners prefer a pull-out system for boats, and this property is well suited for that approach. The seller is also willing to sell, separately, a Svendsen, 20-foot welded aluminum landing craft -- an ideal boat for these waters and a huge advantage for hauling supplies, equipment, and gear to the island. A Place to Breathe, Build, and Belong... What makes this property special isn't just the acreage or the improvements -- it's the feeling. The open ocean stretching to the horizon, the quiet grassy clearings surrounded by towering forest, the whales surfacing offshore, the freedom of being just far enough away from the world while not too far from town when needed. You can move in now and enjoy it exactly as it is. You can renovate the cabin into a stunning seaside escape. You can build a true off-grid homestead, host fishing adventures with friends, or create a legacy property for generations to come. Bring your imagination. The hard part -- finding a place this extraordinary -- is already done. Property information is believed to be reliable but is not guaranteed.
