Island Lots
A Different Way of Life...
For those who like to get close to nature, island property provides a haven.
Wadleigh Island
Located on
the west side of Prince of Wales Island, Wadleigh Island sits to the west of
Craig and Klawock. Lots are accessible from either port. 
The east side of Wadleigh Island is more suitable for those who like to come to town more regularly. With only a 5 - 15 minute boat ride to Craig or Klawock dock, the east side of Wadleigh Island offers a convenient alternative for those who work in town. Fairly secluded, many people prefer this lifestyle to living in town. There are stunning views overlooking the towns, sawmill and the mountains behind Craig and Klawock.
The west side of Wadleigh Island takes 15 - 30 minutes from either Craig or Klawock dock. But the views and isolation when you get there are worth it. The view looks out over large stretches of ocean dotted with islands and distant mountains and enjoys great summer sunsets! You can't see or hear of town, just the occasional fishing boat going by. Many people choose the west side for a summer home, where they can enjoy the magnificent scenery for long periods without coming to town. Many use this side as a place to stay during the fishing season; there is a herring area close in, and it is only a short jump to the outside waters where the big salmon swim. For year-round living, the west side can be subject to some wild weather (November is usually the wildest, but the sea is an unpredictable thing), so be prepared for stretches without being able to get to town. It is more exposed than the east side, and you will need to learn the route, so it is best for the boat savvy. For the west side you will need to watch the weather and learn the waters.
Most lots on the island are long and narrow, usually with 100' - 130' feet of waterfront and 300' - 350' deep. The lots are wooded, some with old growth cedar and hemlock. The back property line generally backs into clear-cut or 2nd growth forest. The beaches vary from sandy to rocky, some are tideland and some have better docking potential than others.
There is no electricity available on the island, but many people have good mobile phone reception. Solar and wind power are used with success. The new super-quiet generators make off-the-grid living much easier. Rainwater catchments systems and wastewater outfall from septic tanks are common. Per foot, this waterfront property is probably some of the most reasonably priced in North America.

Wadleigh Island lots-
$33,900 - 124 ft waterfront, 0.9 acre, stream, basic
cabin
If you want to get away from it all,
this lot is about a 30 minute boat ride from town, yet feels totally wild.
The one-room wooden cabin is simple but is useful for fishing trips or
vacations.
For those who like to get away from it all, the west side of Wadleigh is ideal. This property is around 30 minutes from Craig or Klawock by boat, and yet once you are out there, there is nothing to interrupt your view except a few islands, mountains and great stretches of ocean... Close to great fishing and crabbing waters, and humpback whales can be seen in the distance, and sometimes close up!
This is a stunning property, with beautiful big trees and a nice pebble beach that gradually slopes down. The docking potential looks good. With a 56 ft greenbelt/ common area to one side, your privacy is even more protected. Add a stream, and you have the perfect wild property....
The cabin
is
tucked back in the trees, and the best house site has been left, in case you
plan on building a house there one day. The cabin has a lot of rustic
charm, built entirely out of wood. It consists of one room with a
small front deck, has a couple of windows and a built-in platform for
sleeping. It is about 4 ft off the ground and built on pilings. The wood
stove needs to be replaced, but if you add that and a small propane stove,
you have a great place to get warm and dry. Camping can get rough for
entire summers, but a cabin allows you lots of storage, a place to dry out
and get comfortable. There is an outhouse nearby. Perfect for
fishing enthusiasts or just for someone who wants to get a bit closer to
nature... A little bit of cabin goes a long way in Southeast Alaska!
