Property Description
Set on 65 extraordinary acres in the heart of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, this is a rare chance to own a truly wild Alaska property with both ground and air access. Located approximately 8.5 miles SE of McCarthy, the property offers a level of remoteness, privacy, and natural beauty that is increasingly hard to find yet remains accessible. by vehicle/ATV trail and plane (see more/addendums) via an adjacent
2600 ft X 100 ft grass airstrip. By air from Anchorage to the Nizina Airstrip is approximately 2-2.5
hours depending on type of aircraft and wind. By ground from Anchorage to the Boreal is 9-10
hours.
Perched on a dramatic 150-foot bluff above the braided glacial Nizina River, the setting is nothing
short of spectacular. The views stretch across the river valley to the Chugach Mountains and
Goodlata Peak (8166 ft) creating an ever-changing panorama. Wildlife is abundant and frequently
seen on the property including grizzlies, black bears, moose, coyotes, lynx and more. The three
migratory thrushes; Varied, Swainson's, Hermit sing their eerie songs and breed in the northern
forest. Robins are prolific as well. Boreal is an exceptional basecamp for adventure, solitude,
recreation, photography and immersion in one of the most remarkable landscapes in North
America.
With the grass airstrip you're within an hour+ to explore 22,000 sq miles of park wilderness. And,
with the adjacent parks, Glacier Bay NP, Tatshenshini-Alsek Park and Kluane National Park add
16,000 sq miles to total 38,000 sq miles. All four parks comprise a UNESCO World Heritage Site,
the largest protected wilderness in the world!
Boreal is designed for comfortable, self-sufficient living in a remote environment. Utilities include an
off-grid 4.4kW solar power system, 1200 ah 48v battery bank, backup 8kW and 2kW generator
capacity, Class C (well) water and wastewater systems providing the infrastructure. Cell service
and a dedicated Internet router are provided by Copper Valley Telecom (Verizon roams).
Whether as a private retreat for family and friends, adventure base or legacy holding this offering is
real wilderness. The nearby historic communities of McCarthy and Kennecott offer many services
including visitor accommodations, cafes, activities and tours during the summer.
The main lodge includes a commercial kitchen, great room, 3 bathrooms, library, pantry, laundry, 3
bedrooms, screen porch, arctic entries and decks. The large south deck is a great gathering place
after a day of exploring. The south lawn beckons frisbee or playing catch.
There are numerous outbuildings and support structures that add flexibility and function for
storage, operations, guests, equipment and recreational use. Also included is an impressive
collection of vehicles, equipment, tools, furnishings, and operational assets, making this a true
turnkey package. Included personal property is a 1984 John Deere 410-B backhoe, multiple ATVs,
trailers, snowmachines, Woodmizer sawmill, splitter, furnishings, kitchen appliances including a
commercial oven/stove top, two side-by-side Vestfrost refrigerators, a dedicated freezer, cookware,
washing machine, shop tools, hardware, shelving, building materials and more. The breadth of
assets significantly enhances the value and immediate usability of the property.
This is not simply a parcel of land--it's an established wilderness compound in an iconic national
park setting. Remote, self-reliant, scenic, and adventure-ready, Boreal Wilderness offers an
ownership opportunity that is rare in Alaska: a place where you can fly in, drive in, look out over the
Nizina River from your own bluff, and experience the wild on a daily basis without giving up the
systems and structures that make extended stays possible.
