Skagway Hoonah Angoon County is in Alaska. With a hot 2022 housing market you'll find that the supply of land for sale in Alaska is much smaller than in prior years, but whether you are someone looking to buy land for secluded Alaskan cabins, an Alaskan homebuilder searching for homesites for a new project or a potential homeowner looking for private land for sale in Alaska for your own tiny house, the perfect property for you may be found among the spectacular scenery of Alaska. Known as both The Last Frontier and the Great Land, Alaska is huge, and so are a lot of things within it. It is more than twice the size of Texas, the second largest state, and is divided into five regions: Inside Passage, Southcentral, Interior, Far North, and Southwest. The largest city, Anchorage, is in the Southcentral region, where temperatures can dip into the single digits in the winter, but are generally don't exceed around 70 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, with an average annual snowfall of 64 inches. The state’s population is around 730,000 and nearly 280,000 people reside in Anchorage. Fairbanks and Juneau, the state capital, are far behind with about 32,200 people in each city. Other well known areas in Alaska with roughly 8,000 residents apiece are Sitka and Ketchikan. Juneau is located in the Inside Passage, the strip of land connecting Alaska to British Columbia, which is notoriously wet with rainfall averaging between 3-7 inches a month from April to September. There aren’t any roads to Juneau, but that doesn’t stop visitors. Its numbers swell significantly in the summer as it plays host to hundreds of thousands of tourists who arrive by cruise ship. Tourism plays a big role in the economy in both revenue generated and job creation. The landscape and wildlife are the main attractions, with 17 of America’s highest mountain peaks found in the state, roughly 100,000 glaciers, more than 70 volcanoes, hundreds of thousands of caribou, moose, and bears, and the awe-inspiring whale pods that swim in Alaskan waters. Eco tours are hugely popular, as is the endless array of outdoor activities from sport fishing, four-wheeling, and kayaking in the summer, to glacier hiking, skiing and snowmobiling in the winter. Dogmushing is the official state sport, and Alaska hosts the 1,049 mile Iditarod dog sled race each year (since 1973) to commemorate the importance of the dog teams and their mushers in the settlement of the state. Although Alaskans host a lot of visitors, oil production has the largest economic impact, bringing in more than 85% of the state’s revenue. The mountain known as Denali (formerly Mt. McKinley) is the highest peak in North America at 20,230 feet above sea level, and is surrounded by the enormous Denali National Park and Preserve that includes the mountain. If you visit during the summer, you’ll have plenty of time to see it – because of Alaska’s location within the Arctic Circle, the state experiences incredibly long days in summer and very short ones in the winter.
