Legal Address Only Loring Alaska, Ketchikan, AK 99901

Here is a rare opportunity to own approximately 1.064 acres in historic Loring, Alaska, consisting of Lot A and Lot 4, Resubdivision of Lot 16, U.S. Survey 4569 and U.S. Survey 2109. Situated in the West Arm of Behm Canal, approximately 20 miles from Clover Passage, this property offers the privacy and adventure that make remote Alaska ownership so unique. Lot A is improved with the historic cabin commonly known as Heckman House. The home is reported to date back to the early days of Loring and to have served as the residence of the superintendent of the local salmon cannery established in the 1880s. The property offers a tangible connection to Southeast Alaska’s early commercial fishing and cannery history. This is not a turnkey property. The cabin and other improvements have experienced considerable deferred maintenance and will require substantial work before the property is ready for regular occupancy. The opportunity is for a buyer who appreciates the location, history and potential and is willing to undertake the improvements necessary to bring the property back to life. The property is completely off grid, with no public water, sewer or electrical service. Access is by boat or floatplane only. One of the property’s greatest advantages is the nearby State of Alaska public dock, providing an important access point for owners, guests, supplies and equipment. Lot 4 also includes a storage shed near the dock. For the fisherman, the location is hard to beat. The property is approximately five minutes by skiff from the Naha River, renowned for world-class steelhead fishing, with exceptional fishing opportunities throughout the Behm Canal area. Bring your skiff, your tools and your imagination. This is an opportunity to restore a small piece of Alaska history and create a truly unique remote retreat.
