Residential In Sitka

Tucked away beyond the historic waterfront community of Sitka, Alaska, a remarkable island retreat lies in the coveted waters of Southeast Alaska. Surrounded by forested islands, rugged mountain scenery, and the rich marine environment of Sitka Sound, Guckers Island offers the unique opportunity to experience a true Alaskan lifestyle. Located approximately 1.5 miles from Crescent Harbor, the island offers seclusion while being a short boat ride from restaurants, shops, the airport, and essential services. With views across the surrounding bays and the dramatic silhouette of Mt. Edgecumbe, this setting is defined by abundant wildlife and the unmistakable climate of coastal Alaska. Set on approximately 2.23 acres, this fully furnished, turnkey estate, powered by City electricity, features two modern Alpine-style residences, a dedicated fish-processing building, storage, extensive decked walkways, and an impressive 80-foot private deep-water dock. The property was carefully developed into the natural landscape in 2016 by a team of skilled craftsmen, including the owner himself. The construction of this extraordinary retreat was even featured during the fourth season of the television series Building Alaska. The grounds encompass a 2,500-square-foot main lodge with an open-plan layout, including a spacious great room with soaring vaulted ceilings and a striking fireplace, a gourmet kitchen, two primary bedroom suites--each with its own private full bathroom--along with a pantry, auxiliary room, half bath, and laundry. Underneath each structure are cisterns with on-site filtration systems that keep the plentiful water clean and crisp for its users. The 1,000 sf guest house offers two spacious bedroom suites, each with its own bathroom with shower, closet, and washer and dryer. The outdoor spaces invite people to gather and experience the island. The included fishing vessels are a 28-foot 2017 Cuddy King and a 21-foot Maverick, both built by Weldcraft, plus a 2015 Cushman golf cart to move people and gear up and down from the buildings above.
