Remote retreat 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 here--only turquoise glacier-fed waters, sweeping 360° mountain vistas, and the occasional sounds of eagles and loons breaking the silence. The property includes a two-story off-grid cabin awaiting restoration and renewal. The cabin offers a spacious footprint with living areas on both floors, a three-bedroom layout, and a pantry that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom. A wood stove, covered porch, and open deck provide inviting spaces to take in the surrounding wilderness, while windows frame breathtaking lake and mountain views. Also included are two outbuildings--a 400-square-foot shop and a 168-square-foot storage shed--providing valuable workspace and storage for equipment, supplies, and outdoor gear. The parcel is zoned General Residential within the Haines Borough and features surveyed boundaries. The property operates entirely off-grid and is served by an existing generator system that will require repair, replacement, or modernization. Whether envisioned as a fishing basecamp, wilderness retreat, or seasonal getaway, this property presents a rare opportunity to restore, reimagine, and create something truly special in one of Southeast Alaska's most remarkable settings.
