Property Description
opportunity to own a piece of Kuiu Island—America's 15th largest island, home to fewer than a dozen full-time residents.
Surrounded by the pristine Tongass National Forest in the Alexander Archipelago, the property is situated approximately
25-30 nautical miles from the .. the communities of Kake and Port Alexander, yet feels worlds away in its solitude and
grandeur.
Bay of Pillars is renowned for its rugged natural beauty, thriving wildlife, and world-class outdoor recreation. Humpback
whales, orcas, sea lions, bald eagles, moose, deer, and bears are frequent visitors, while the surrounding waters offer
exceptional salmon and halibut fishing. The bay's intricate waterways are ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding, and
boating, providing direct immersion in one of Alaska's most unspoiled marine environments.
Steeped in history, the property occupies the former site of a 1890s cannery established by the Astoria and Alaska Packing
Company. Following a fire in 1892, the site became a saltery and later part of the Pillar Bay Packing Company, once a
major hub for processing millions of pounds of salmon each season. Today, this unique legacy enhances the property's
character and sense of place.
The custom-built main residence - over 5,100± square feet - sits securely on bedrock at the water's edge, offering expansive,
unobstructed views and unforgettable sunsets. With nine bedrooms, five full baths, a fully equipped commercial kitchen,
generous living spaces, and more than 1,500± square feet of covered decks, the home comfortably hosts large groups.
Additional infrastructure includes a 1,000± square foot attached shop, a 2,400± square foot pole barn, multiple fuel and
water tanks, a 48-volt solar system with backup generator, propane storage, and extensive equipment for off-grid living.
A private peninsula provides a second premier building site with unmatched panoramic views. The property also features
a 24' x 48' floatplane dock with covered moorage, a 48' x 48' boat dock, and long, sturdy walkways.
With its remote setting, expansive amenities, and unmatched natural surroundings, this retreat is ideal as a private
residence, corporate retreat, family compound, or exclusive Alaska wilderness adventure property.
