Remote house located on Birch Island in Chilkat Lake, set on 4.9 acres accessible only by jet boat, floatplane, or snowmachine in winter. There are no roads in this area, only turquoise glacier-fed waters, sweeping 360° mountain vistas, and the occasional sounds of eagles and loons. At the center of the property lies a two-story home that requires repairs and TLC but holds potential. Inside, you will discover living areas on both floors and a 3-bedroom layout with a pantry that could serve as a fourth bedroom. The home also features a wood stove, a covered porch, and an open deck overlooking the lake. Almost every window offers stunning views of the water and surrounding mountains. The property includes two outbuildings—a 400 sq ft shop and a 168 sq ft storage shed—providing valuable workspace and storage for gear. It is zoned General Residential within the Haines Borough and has surveyed boundaries. The cabin operates entirely off-grid, relying on an existing generator system that requires repairs or upgrades. This setup is well-suited for self-sufficient buyers looking for a fishing base and an opportunity to engage in the outdoor adventures that Alaska has to offer.
