Looking for your own slice of heaven - a place that's truly move-in ready, where you can step into a new life and leave the noise behind? This special property has it all: space, privacy, comfort, and every convenience you could need to live on your own terms.
Nestled in a quiet, private bay with no neighbors in sight, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home blends the rustic beauty of a classic Alaskan cabin; rich wood, stone, and tile, with a touch of modern luxury. Step inside through glass sliding doors along a covered timber walkway to a welcoming living room and beautifully tiled kitchen. With skylights and an open mezzanine above, the home feels spacious, light-filled, and airy.
The main bedroom is conveniently located on the lower level, designed for deep, restful sleep through long summer days. It features a private ensuite with a deep jetted tub. Also on this level is a second full bathroom, a generous pantry, laundry, and ample storage. The home offers flexible heating options - wood, propane, or heat pump - for year-round comfort.
Upstairs, the open mezzanine overlooks the living room, with cozy sitting and study areas. Two smaller bedrooms nestle under the eaves, each with skylights for warmth and charm. A door opens to a covered balcony - perfect for morning coffee or soaking in the view.
Outside, a spacious deck leads to a lower terrace and a grassy area with a fire pit, perfect for enjoying Alaskan evenings by the water.
A raised walkway connects the home to a large, well-designed woodshed with a hydraulic wood splitter and trolley, making heating easy and efficient. Another covered path leads up to the shop with a 2-bedroom apartment above. A double garage provides covered parking and more storage, with extra parking along the generous driveway.
Follow another raised walkway to the dock, complete with a permanent float and fish-cleaning station. The ramp can be pulled onto shore for winter storage.
Three full greenhouses, plus several smaller ones, make year-round gardening a joy. With high beds, good sun exposure, and a sheltered south/ southwestern facing setting, this property is a gardener or homesteader's dream. There's even a luxury henhouse so you can enjoy fresh, free-ranged eggs by the ocean.
The property is on town power and also has two backup generators housed in a dedicated generator room, along with multiple water tanks providing about 7,000 gallons of rainwater storage and a well for even more supply.
Beautifully landscaped with sunny sitting areas, curving stone paths, and vibrant gardens, this property comes fully turn-key - including a boat, truck, two ATVs, and quality fishing gear like crab and shrimp pots. Tools such as a planer, sander, drill press, and chop saw are also included, everything you need to step straight into your Alaskan lifestyle.
The property is located at the end of Steep Rd, a quiet area, approximately 9 miles on a gravel road off the highway. It's about a 10 minute boat ride into Thorne Bay harbor for your closest town.
Once you arrive, you won't want to leave. Call us today to view this extra-special waterfront property and start your next adventure.
