Description
Build it your way, live by the lake & make Alaska your own. Set on 2 peaceful acres, this lakefront property offers an enticing combination of privacy, easy road access & a head start on your new Alaskan home or getaway. A newly built 28'x30' two-story structure is already framed, roofed & wrapped, with a solid concrete foundation, septic system & drain field. The interior is open for your vision! Built in 2026 with the foundation completed in 2025, the home has been thoughtfully designed with 9' ceilings and an open interior that allows the next owner to create the layout and finish level that suits them best. It was originally envisioned as a three-bedroom family home, but at this stage the possibilities are wide open. Create a comfortable full-time residence, a spacious two-bedroom vacation cabin with a spectacular upstairs primary suite, or an authentic Alaskan hunting and fishing retreat. Make it simple and rustic or finish it into something truly special - the hard work of getting the structure to this stage has already been done. The structure sits on the higher, flatter portion of the property, while the lakefront portion slopes down toward the water. With some thoughtful tree clearing, there is potential to open up a lake view from the home and create a path down to the waterfront. Imagine a small boat or BBQ shelter below, a place to store lake gear, kayaks and fishing equipment, and a peaceful spot to spend summer afternoons right at the water's edge. The lake is well suited to fishing, kayaking and boating, while Davidson's Landing boat launch is only a few minutes away when you're ready to head out for ocean adventures. The current structure is essentially a ready-to-finish shell, with the framing complete, Tyvek wrap and roof in place. Plumbing lines have been installed beneath the structure, and the concrete foundation includes venting. A substantial collection of additional building materials are included on site, including a variety of timbers, beams and rafters, giving the next owner even more materials and options to work with. There is room behind the home for an addition, boat storage or a future garage, and the original design intentionally leaves room for the property to evolve. A second, open but undeveloped area provides additional possibilities for another cabin, guest space, an RV, workshop or gardens. Power is available nearby, and the neighboring property is currently working toward bringing power in, potentially providing an opportunity to coordinate installation. For those who prefer independence, the property also offers the possibility of an off-grid setup. With no property tax, South Thorne Bay is the perfect place to live free and wild! With two acres, lake access, an existing new structure, septic infrastructure, road access and plenty of room to create more, this property offers a substantial head start without taking away the fun of making it your own. Whether you're dreaming of a family home, a future retirement retreat, a vacation cabin or a home base for hunting, fishing and exploring Southeast Alaska, you can start with what is already here and build from there!
