54 Buoy St, Kupreanof, AK 99833

This 10 acre/3 parcel property lies surrounded by USFS (with one distant neighbor) in one of the most spectacular locations in Alaska: over ¼” mile of salt-waterfront on the Wrangell Narrows at Buoy 54. A tidal slough behind the house is a haven for wildlife (deer, bear, wolf and more!). A short 5-minute boat hop into the town of Petersburg connects you with all the amenities including twice daily Alaska Airlines and the twice weekly Alaska Marine Highway System ferry. In your front yard are the best crab grounds, clam digging and salmon fishing you can find and all marine traffic parades by daily. There are about 15 outbuildings; including two waterborne warehouses, dock, 30’ water-tower/generator building, gazebo, woodshed, fuel shed, greenhouse, garden shed, guest house, smoker, sauna and…..an outhouse. Off grid with a FERC approved hydro system on another ¼ acre/500’ of creek permitted in perpetuity produces 750W (capable of 1500W) of power during rainy times. Two solar panels (10 panel & 12 panel) connect to a 4 year old state-of-the-art inversion/charging system (Sol-Ark 12KW) that supplies up to 3000Ws of power during sunny periods. Northern Lights 6KW genset (5000 hours) makes up the difference on an automated system that is more reliable than Petersburg’s. Slookum! This unique property boasts stupendous views of the Stikine Icefields, glaciers, and the iconic Devil’s Thumb—perfectly aligned with the north entrance markers of the Wrangell Narrows. The property has had perhaps just four owners in the past century. I’ve spent 20 years here but now, at 80, it’s time to pass the torch. I’ve rebuilt most of the structures, added 500’ of AYC boardwalks and will leave many tools including a Gravely Tractor; snow blower, DR Powerwagon, chainsaws, 10 boats including a 26’ Munson catamaran with twin 150 Yamahas (400 hours), two Lund’s with Yamahas and a collection of restored rowboats—even two Norwegian faering boats. And a 2021 Toyota Tundra. Perfect for a lodge-type business or gentleman’s retreat.
