Property Overview
Inside Passage Wilderness Enclave presents a rare opportunity to acquire an established Alaska fishing and wilderness destination with more than four decades of operating history, a loyal guest following, and substantial infrastructure. Since opening in 1983, the property has developed into an all-inclusive hospitality destination supported by extensive facilities, established operating systems, and permits.
The offering includes approximately 5.89± acres of fee-simple land across five parcels, complemented by approximately 4.95 acres of State of Alaska leased tidelands. A defining feature is the protected harbor, anchored by a privately owned 14,400±-square-foot floating dock system offering more than 1,000 feet of vessel moorage. The waterfront setting provides convenient access to productive fishing grounds and marine wildlife while supporting guest experiences and vessel operations.
The property encompasses approximately 30,250 square feet across 20 structures, supported by electricity from the Inside Passage Electric Cooperative and the ability to switch to one of three continuous-duty generators. Essential infrastructure includes a 600,000-gallon water reservoir, water filtration and wastewater treatment facilities, and an established power distribution system. Twelve years of substantial capital investment have strengthened the facilities and operating systems, creating an infrastructure base that would be costly and time-consuming to replicate.
Guest demand is supported by strong repeat bookings, with most new guests arriving through word-of-mouth referrals. The property can accommodate up to 79 guests per night based on its current bed configuration, while operating at a lower, owner-selected capacity. This provides a future owner flexibility to determine the appropriate scale of operations.
While the property offers a proven foundation for continued hospitality operations and future business growth, its extraordinary setting, substantial infrastructure, and self-sufficient systems also create compelling opportunities for private ownership. Whether continued as a thriving wilderness destination, transformed into an exclusive family retreat, or envisioned as a private Alaskan compound, the property offers exceptional flexibility for its next owner.
