0 Only, Juneau, AK 99801

The owner acknowledges Hump Island is on Tlingit land and appreciates their stewardship and respect for this special place over the generations. "Claimed" by Russia and then transferred to the United States by the Russians in 1867, the island was then homesteaded as a fox farm in the 1920's and 30's. Hump Island encompasses 150.35 acres with nearly 2 miles of ocean shoreline according to the US Survey. The shoreline includes a large gravel beach on the East side, a smaller pebble beach on the West side and cliffs and rocky beaches for the remainder of the shoreline. A Piper Cub once landed on the large gravel beach. The interior includes rolling and level areas with the highest elevation estimated to be 180 feet at the hump. The land is forested primarily with spruce and hemlock with a spongy meadow and small ponds in the middle of the island. Blueberry bushes are prevalent throughout the island. Fauna includes frequent sightings of humpback whales, and harbor seals, as well as orca whales, sea lions, river otters, eagles, ravens, Canada geese, oystercatchers, and rufus hummingbirds. Harbor seals use the island as a haulout providing opportunities for patient observation of their behavior. The island is far enough away to feel truly remote, enjoy solitude and privacy but not so far away that it takes all day to get there. The possibilities and potential of this one of a kind property are many and may include non profit uses such as, promoting spiritual and holistic growth, recreation, culture and tradition, stewardship, and education. For profit uses may include joining with family and friends to form an association making the purchase affordable for all.
