Hasselborg Homestead

Set within one of the most pristine and protected landscapes in North America, Hasselborg Homestead represents an extraordinarily rare opportunity to own patented, deeded land within Admiralty Island National Monument. Surrounded entirely by U.S. Forest Service holdings inside the vast Tongass National Forest—the world’s only remaining temperate rainforest—this inholding offers a level of privacy and natural immersion that is increasingly difficult to find.

Despite its remarkable seclusion, Hasselborg Homestead remains highly accessible. Located approximately 70 air miles from Juneau, the property can be reached in about 35 minutes by floatplane or helicopter, offering a rare balance between wilderness living and modern convenience. Juneau itself serves as a vibrant hub for Southeast Alaska, providing cultural experiences, transportation, and year-round services. This unique proximity allows owners to enjoy complete independence while maintaining access to essential amenities and travel connections.

The property’s natural setting is nothing short of extraordinary. Positioned at the confluence of river and ocean, it boasts 100 yards of uninterrupted frontage and lies within one of the world’s highest-density brown bear habitats. Wildlife viewing, fishing, and outdoor recreation begin just steps from the cabin, where salmon runs, tidal changes, and abundant ecosystems create a dynamic and immersive environment. From observing bears and eagles to harvesting fish or simply enjoying the landscape, the experience is both immediate and profound.

Whether envisioned as a private retreat, conservation haven, or remote cabin, Hasselborg Homestead offers a legacy property steeped in history and possibility. It is a place where self-sufficiency, adventure, and solitude coexist—just a short journey from the modern world.

The on-site cabin, built around 1960, reflects its age and long exposure to Southeast Alaska’s coastal climate, with visible settling and wear. While it retains its historic character, it will require maintenance and likely foundation repairs or reinforcement to improve long-term stability, safety, and usability.
