Surrounded by one million protected forest acres in the state's more moderate southeastern climate, perfectly situated between Juneau and Sitka, Hidden Bay Retreat visitors arrive by air or boat only. World-class fishing and gaming, wildlife viewing, hiking and boating are right outside the front door, as well as a flat beach for helicopter landing; deep bay and leeward mooring for larger sailing vessels and superyachts; and a large floating dock that can accommodate the property's fleet of fishing and service vessels. The boathouse includes a commercial fueling station for boat diesel, gasoline and aviation fuel as well as fishing gear storage and freezers.  

The seller, German-born George Herrdum, is the retired founder and owner of GFTA {1975-2012}, the pioneer in quantitative computer analysis in the foreign exchange market. In his words: "I am, at heart, a relentless adventurer. My passion is to explore, which Hidden Bay Retreat has allowed me to do. My hope is that the new owner brings their own family and friends here to get away from the stresses of the real world, enjoy the peace and quiet and carry on its legacy."

Private tours will be hosted by appointment through auction day. Participants must RSVP by calling (212) 257-5018. The auction will be held on August 18th. A 2.5% commission is offered to the buyer's representing broker. See Auction Terms and Conditions for full details.
