HIDDEN BAY Southeast Alaska

S

outheastern Alaska is synonymous with natural splendor and a playground for the restless adventurer. It’s also home to one of the world’s most extraordinary residential accomplishments – Hidden Bay Retreat. A sanctuary so remarkable – hummingbirds migrate a thousand miles each year to join a few other global citizens who are fortunate enough to summer in paradise.

The Bauhaus-style, 2,383 square foot chalet is built of solid Western Red Cedar timber and sits on 2.63 acres with 385 feet of waterfront. Self-sustainable for up to six months at a time, the property even boasts its own commercial fueling station for boat diesel and aviation fuel. Clearly no expense was spared in design, specification or utility despite being located within this remote corner of the world.

“This trophy property calls those who seek recreation off the grid without sacrificing comfort or convenience,” said Dean Jones, Principal of Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty. “Still the matchless construction quality is eclipsed by the native environment – the opportunities for discovery are endless.”

Jones likens the experience at Hidden Bay Retreat to living inside a National Geographic magazine every day.

“At your doorstep is world-class fishing and crabbing, whale watching, hiking, hunting and viewing of wildlife of all kinds – that’s the promise of this land,” he said.

Sited on Admiralty Island between Sitka and Juneau, the Hidden Bay Retreat is surrounded by a US National Monument that comprises nearly one million acres, which will be preserved forever.

Access is limited to private vessels or chartered aircraft, which in Alaska operates much like taxi cabs. The fee-simple property has no utilities, no zoning on no property taxes but a world of services, including life flight dispatch from Sitka is just 45 minutes away by air.

Transcended

by Arrival Inside, retreat each day to the epitome of comfort framed by knot-free, cedar, walls of glass and enduring materials reliably engineered.

Outside, broad summer seasons and long days beget endless activity for family and friends: world-class yachting, hunting, sport fishing, hiking, sea kayaking and whale watching —each just moments from your door.

n oceanic climate means average temperatures stay above freezing during winter and summer days are long and comfortable. A rain shadow effect created by the coastal mountain ranges provides the unique microclimate – more sun and far less precipitation – about half that of Juneau and a third less than Sitka.

“There are really two Alaska’s – a vast frozen State up north and the much smaller Southeastern panhandle, which runs along the coastline of British Columbia,” said Jones. “The voyage along this inside passage is considered among the most beautiful waterways in the world – that journey transcended only by arrival.”

This compound takes after a luxury destination resort – after all it could be. The property is being offered both as the single lot and residence or as part of a larger assemblage of land for future development. A private enclave in the last frontier, all together there are eight lots with 45.75 acres and 2,975-feet of waterfront – that’s nearly a kilometer of pristine no bank shoreline.

“It’s heirloom property with all the infrastructure in place, including a live-in caretaker’s cabin,” said Jones. “The new owner might expand the compound with pre-built cabins and place them on the adjacent lots as there is plenty of heat, water and power to go around. Or the parcels could be sold to third parties. They are all large, very private and offer a dramatic view to be shared by few.”

“I said to the current owner it’s really not what you desire, which makes you extraordinary in life but what you accomplish,” adds Jones. “Hidden Bay Retreat is certainly an accomplishment and it awaits discovery – a paradise found in the last frontier.”

It’s like owning your own State in the State of Alaska.
