Property Description
Welcome to Mertz Island, an extraordinary private island retreat in the heart of Alaska's renowned Sitka Sound, where natural beauty, thoughtful craftsmanship, and complete self-sufficiency create one of Southeast Alaska's most exceptional island properties. Located just a 10± minute boat ride from Sitka, this rare offering provides the ideal balance of accessibility and privacy, allowing convenient access while preserving the serenity of Alaska's coastal wilderness.
Surrounded by clear waters, Sitka spruce and western hemlock forests, secluded beaches, and abundant wildlife, Mertz Island offers two distinctly different views. One side overlooks the open waters of Sitka Sound and nearby islands, while the other faces a protected cove. Whales, sea otters, bald eagles, harbor seals, sea lions, deer, and numerous seabirds are common throughout the area, while coves, tide pools, and forest trails provide opportunities for exploration year-round.
The property features two distinctive turnkey residences that comfortably accommodate up to sixteen guests. The waterfront guest cabin sits just steps from the private dock with panoramic views of the protected bay. Above the shoreline, the custom Pan Abode main residence combines exceptional craftsmanship, warm natural finishes, and sweeping views across Sitka Sound.
Designed for reliable year-round living, the property is supported by a modern off-grid infrastructure, including solar power, battery storage, backup generators, filtered rainwater collection, high-speed Starlink internet, and full plumbing systems. Workshops, storage buildings, utility facilities, and extensive maintenance equipment further enhance the property's functionality.
Whether envisioned as a private family estate, executive retreat, or exclusive vacation residence, Mertz Island offers a rare opportunity to own a self-sufficient island property where privacy, comfort, and Alaska's remarkable coastal landscape come together in an unforgettable setting.
