Property Description
Enjoy a home that feels as though it was crafted from the very landscape around it. This stunning custom-built 3BD, 2BA retreat offers beautiful timber craftsmanship, soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, a large shop, exceptional outbuildings, a cedar deck, a fenced yard in impressive quality. Designed to bring the forest indoors, it's a sanctuary that brings comfort & nature into harmony. A home that feels like it grew from the forest itself.
Overlooking the gentle waters of Deer Creek in the welcoming seaside community of Thorne Bay, this exceptional custom-built, 1,783sf, 3BD, 2BA home offers a rare blend of craftsmanship, comfort, and natural beauty. Built in 2010 and designed to an impressive 5-Star Plus energy rating, the home feels deeply connected to its surroundings. Surrounded by trees and filled with natural materials, it is a place where the forest doesn't stop at the front door - it becomes part of everyday life.
Constructed using locally harvested and milled Alaska yellow cedar, western red cedar, and western hemlock, the quality of workmanship is immediately apparent. From the cedar siding and trim to the soaring tongue-and-groove vaulted ceiling, beautiful timber details, and handcrafted outbuildings, every corner reflects care, skill, and pride of ownership. Massive wood beams, custom finishes, and oversized windows create a home that feels both luxurious and warmly welcoming.
Step into a warm and welcoming entryway, complete with a custom bench and coat closet, and into the stunning great room. Here, a dramatic wall of windows frames peaceful forest views while the sounds of Deer Creek drift through open windows. The vaulted cedar ceiling draws your eyes upward, while the warm wood tones create an atmosphere that is both grand and relaxing.
At the heart of the home, the beautifully appointed kitchen combines style and functionality with granite countertops, tile backsplash, a center island, soft-close cabinetry, quality appliances, and a spacious walk-in pantry. Adjacent dining and living spaces make entertaining effortless, while sliding glass doors open to a covered outdoor dining area - perfect for summer meals, morning coffee, or relaxing with friends while listening to the creek bubble gently below.
The main-floor primary suite offers convenience and privacy, complete with a walk-in closet featuring custom shelving and a spacious bathroom with dual vessel sinks. Also on the main level is a generous mudroom and utility room with abundant storage, utility sink, laundry facilities, and easy access to the rear of the property.
Upstairs, a loft overlooks the great room below and enjoys elevated views through the home's spectacular windows. A custom-built desk creates an idyllic office or creative space, while two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom provide plenty of room for family and guests.
Outdoor living is every bit as impressive as the interior. A wraparound cedar deck and covered porch provide more than 1,100 square feet of outdoor living space, allowing you to enjoy the sights and sounds of the forest in every season. The creek provides a soothing soundtrack to daily life, while the landscaped grounds and locally milled cedar fencing create beauty, privacy, and security for children and pets.
The outbuildings are exceptional in their own right. A fully insulated hobby shed, currently used as an art studio, offers a bright and inspiring creative space complete with power, heat, and a sliding glass door. The impressive 770sf timber-frame workshop and weight room is one of those rare buildings that feels almost too beautiful to call a shop, offering endless possibilities for projects, storage, hobbies, or future guest accommodations. Completing the property is a substantial, 21x12' timber-frame woodshed designed to match the quality and character of the home itself.
Thoughtfully equipped for comfortable year-round living, the home features a whole-house water filtration system, Toyotomi on-demand hot water, Toyotomi diesel heat, a Blaze King Princess wood stove, and supplemental electric heat throughout.
Conveniently located within walking distance of town amenities, the public dock, and community services, this property offers an ideal balance of privacy and accessibility. Enjoy the peace of a forest retreat while remaining connected to the friendly community that makes Thorne Bay such a special place to call home.
Beautifully built, meticulously maintained, and rich with authentic Alaskan character, this is more than a house. It's a sanctuary beside the creek, a gathering place for family and friends, and a home designed to be enjoyed for generations.
