Supplements
Set on 124 feet of waterfront and 0.79 acres on Wadleigh Island, the property offers both privacy and possibility. A small covered front deck and 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, or head out into the surrounding waters, known for some of the best fishing around Prince of Wales Island. The cabin appears thoughtfully 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; 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, crab pots, and even a boat and fishing equipment are available for purchase if desired.
Out front, the beach has been groomed for easy access - pull right up at high tide 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, ideal for a haul-out system.
Located 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 abundant - 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 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 breathing room and space from future neighboring properties.
Opportunities like this are rare - cabins in locations like this 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.
