HOW TO BUY LAND IN ALASKA| Everything I Know Off The Top Of My Head & Why We Did It

We chose South East Alaska for several reasons. The first being climate change. We wanted a place where us and future generations of our family wouldn't ever have to worry about water scarcity. I grew up with the increase in number of wildfires on the West coast and a place where that is not a main problem was also a big deal for us. Secondly, we were looking for a place that didn't have many restrictions on the type of houses we want to build. We came full circle and started the process off thinking we would do treehouses and then we thought maybe A frames aaaaaand then maybe just a simple lean-to. Now we are sure we want to build treehouses and are right back where we started. Not all places in the US are zoned to be able to do that as your primary structures. And lastly we really just like the culture up here out of all the places we've been in the USA. We love that this is the lasting frontier that there are soo many resources up here and the people are FREAKING NICE. Anyways those are some of the boxes we had to check to really settle and I'm glad we were able to find it!

I hope this helps you in your journey to buy land if that's what you dream of! This is by no means all the information, but maybe it'll get you started down the rabbit hole!
