Welcome to the wild beauty of Southeast Alaska. This 7-acre parcel lies within the small and scenic community of Edna Bay, on Kosciusko Island, surrounded by the protected waterways of Clarence Strait and the nearby outer islands. Edna Bay is known for its rich wildlife, pristine muskeg landscapes, and a close-knit off-grid community.
The land itself is a mosaic of open muskeg and timber. Two wooded strips of cedar, hemlock, spruce, pine, and alder shelter the property, while the muskeg meadows are carpeted with cranberries, lingonberries, blueberries, huckleberries, crowberries, cloudberries, and Hudson Bay teaa forager’s dream. Wildlife moves freely here: black-tailed deer are regular visitors, and the tracks of bear and wolf occasionally cross the land. In the northeast corner, a year-round creek threads through, providing fresh water.
Over the past few seasons, thoughtful improvements have begun to shape the parcel for sustainable living. On the northwest corner, a 14′ by 20′ piling foundation has been set, crafted with old-growth muskeg cedar pilings and a sturdy spruce and hemlock subfloor. Built just a year ago, it remains in excellent condition and offers a strong, buildable platform for a future cabin or small home. Nearby, a 100′ by 100′ garden area has been fenced, and a 16′ by 20′ greenhouse with eight-foot walls anchors the southeast corner. Together, they’ve already proven the land’s potentialwarm enough to grow crops as surprising as corn and ginger, while garlic, strawberries, peas, and other staples flourish in raised beds that draw nourishment from the peat-rich muskeg below.
Blending natural abundance with a head start on infrastructure, this property offers an ideal foundation for a remote homestead, hunting retreat, or off-grid basecamp. It is a rare opportunity to live close to the land in one of Southeast Alaska’s most scenic and resource-rich communities.
