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 woodshed with a hydraulic wood splitter and trolley, helping to make heating easier and more 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. It's a home-style floating dock, and can be pulled onto the beach for winter protection.
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 with lots of helpful extras including quality fishing gear like crab and shrimp pots. Tools such as a planer, sander, drill press, and chop saw are also included, almost 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.
Sale to include a pickup truck and an ATV.
