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 prop- erties. 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.

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. 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.
