L9B18 South Thorne bay, Ketchikan, AK 99919

If you've been dreaming of an Alaskan foothold - something affordable, private & full of possibility - this 1.87 acre lot might be it! Just 200ft off the road, you can develop the drive, walk in, or make an ATV trail. Forested, the parcel is mostly level with a mix of higher ground & natural low spots that could become a water feature. No property tax, just a low-cost start to your Alaskan escape! Tucked away on quiet Steep Road in South Thorne Bay, this is the kind of place you come to unplug. About 8-9 miles of gravel connects you to the highway, keeping things peaceful and lightly traveled, yet still within reach. From that point, its 6 more miles on the highway to the charming town of Thorne Bay, or 30-40 minutes the other way to reach Klawock with all services. Power runs to Steep Road (and despite the name, it isn't steep), so you can decide how rustic -- or how comfortable -- you'd like your adventure to be. The lot itself sits just over 200 feet off the road. A cul-de-sac is platted but not yet developed, leaving the next chapter up to you. Partner with neighbors and put the road in, blaze a simple ATV trail, or keep it as a walk-in hideaway where the only sounds are wind in the trees and the occasional raven overhead. This is the sort of property that rewards a little effort with a lot of solitude -- perfect for those who like their coffee by a woodstove and their evenings under a big Alaskan sky. Mostly level and forested with small to mid-growth trees, the land offers a natural canvas. A mix of higher ground and gentle low spots could be shaped into a seasonal pond or quiet water feature, adding even more character to your retreat. Whether you're envisioning a modest cabin, a basecamp for hunting and fishing trips, or simply a place to disappear for a while, this is an affordable, no-property-tax opportunity to carve out your own corner of the Alaskan wilderness -- and build it your way, at your pace.
