About this property
THE SHACK, Views of beautiful Auke Bay Harbor a Quarter Mile Away. CBJ1000258
The Shack is a recently remold wash house from the original homestead. It sits next to the main house back in the woods with views of beautiful Auke Bay Harbor.
The Shack is close to hiking, University of Southeast, and city bus lines.
The original homestead was and is a school bus yard. Nights and weekends are very quite, school days are busy (I have lived on site with my wife 2 kids, dog and chickens for the past 16 years), but only for a few hours a day. In the end most people are not here to stay indoors.
