Ep 3. Isolated Village

In the third episode of season 2 of Buying Alaska, viewers are taken to an isolated village in the wilds of Alaska that is only accessible by boat or plane. In this remote location, buyers are looking for a unique and off-the-grid way of life.

The episode follows three different groups of buyers as they look for their dream properties in this remote location. The first couple is looking for a cabin that can serve as their hunting/fishing headquarters and a place where they can escape the hustle and bustle of city life. They have a budget of $150,000 and are looking for a remote location that is at least 30 miles from the nearest town. They eventually find a cabin that fits their needs but it's in need of some serious TLC.

The second group of buyers is a family of four who are looking for a homestead where they can raise their own crops and animals, and be completely self-sufficient. They have a budget of $400,000 and are looking for a property with at least 10 acres of land. They eventually find a 20-acre property that fits their needs, but they'll need to put in a lot of work to make it livable.

The third group is a couple who are looking for a property that they can turn into a vacation rental. They have a budget of $500,000 and are looking for a property that has easy access to the water. They eventually find a property that is already set up as a vacation rental, but it's not in the most desirable location.

Throughout the episode, viewers get a glimpse into the challenges that come with living in such a remote location, including the lack of infrastructure and services. All of the properties are off the grid, which means no access to electricity or running water. Buyers must rely on alternative sources of energy, such as solar panels and generators, and they must be prepared to haul their own water and waste.

Despite the challenges, each of the buyers is drawn to the rugged beauty and simple way of life that Alaska has to offer. They are all looking for a place where they can disconnect from the modern world and connect with nature. Whether it's for hunting and fishing, self-sufficiency, or vacation rentals, all of these buyers are looking for a unique way of life and they are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to achieve it.

Overall, episode 3 of Buying Alaska season 2 is an intriguing look into the unique challenges and rewards of buying property in one of the most remote locations on earth. It's a must-watch for anyone who is thinking about buying property in Alaska or who is simply interested in the off-the-grid lifestyle.
