A new Blaze King Princess model woodstove awaits you & the cabin comes furnished & ready with a large supply of fire bricks. This town is off-grid, and the cabin comes with a brand new power system including a 12KW Kohler generator & inverter system with 8 new gel batteries, a 2000W gas Honda generator & twelve new 360W solar panels.

Lots of extras come with the home to make life more comfortable: there is a new, top model king size Sleep Number bed with movable sections, extra sheets & foot warmer, an extra 2 queens & a single bed with bedding, a huge stainless refrigerator/freezer, a new 60 inch chest freezer and a sectional 3 piece microfiber couch with three tip out lounges.

Updates have continued and now the cabin comes with even more! Most exciting is an 18' pontoon boat with a 50hp Mercury outboard. It has new ¾" marine plywood with landing ramps. Added to this are 3 new shrimp pots to get your subsistence adventures started. Then at home is a brand new Cabela's meat grinder for your subsistence catch. A brand new Crawler (a motorized wheelbarrow) makes transporting supplies even easier, and you can relax at the end of the day with a TV or two (a 72" smart TV & another 60" TV is included). 6 new windows are also on site.
Port Protection is a fascinating little town with an amazing lifestyle - check out the TV series called "Life Below Zero, Port Protection." And with no property taxes you can truly live more freely here! The town is accessible by boat or plane & connected by forest boardwalks once you get there.
Please note: This is a very remote location, not easy to travel to & this lifestyle is not suitable for everyone. It takes time to get in & out of Port Protection during winter as flights are weather dependent. Boating, DIY & remote living experience are essential here. But if you want to get away from it all & recreate your lifestyle, Port Protection is literally perfect!
