Buying Alaska is a Discovery Networks documentary series that follows homebuyers searching for their own piece of the Last Frontier, where spectacular scenery often comes with some serious compromises. Each episode explores unconventional Alaskan properties - from remote cabins and off-the-grid homesteads to island retreats, waterfront homes, and houses accessible only by boat, plane, snow machine, or ATV. Along the way, buyers weigh everyday comforts like running water and electricity against the chance to live surrounded by wilderness, wildlife, hunting, fishing, and extraordinary views.
