New ListingNestled on a private, nearly 20-acre parcel in Fritz Creek, just 10.5 miles from downtown Homer, this thoughtfully designed 2021 custom home offers a rare combination of modern comfort, complete self-sufficiency, and some of the most spectacular views on the Kenai Peninsula. From nearly every room you'll enjoy sweeping views of four glaciers and the iconic Homer Spit. This custom home was built with both beauty and resilience in mind. Natural cedar siding, ash hardwood floors throughout, ceramic tile in all wet areas, double-pane windows, and a five-star energy rating create a warm, efficient living environment. The open-concept main level flows easily for everyday living and entertaining and includes a gourmet kitchen with premium stainless-steel appliances and a walk-in pantry. Two primary en-suite bedrooms, a guest bedroom, and a third full bath provide generous private spaces. The basement suite was finished in 2024 and currently serves as a comfortable bedroom, living area, and office, with plumbing, electricity, drain, and lighting already in place for a future kitchenette or wet bar. This lower-level suite includes a full-size built-in gun safe, while the remaining basement space is ideal cold storage and houses two full-size freezers that convey with the home. True off-grid living is effortless here. The property is powered by solar panels paired with two-year-old lithium batteries housed in a dedicated, heated shed, backed by an automatic Northern Lights 12 kW generator. Dual oil tanks, a large propane tank, and two 2,500-gallon water cisterns provide reliable reserves. Two Toyo heaters and a Blaze King wood stove keep the home warm, while a continuous supply of firewood grows right on the property. Outdoor living is equally intentional. A full wrap-around deck, covered walkway to the two-car garage, and a complete RV pad (50-amp power, arctic-traced water, and sewer) make year-round use easy. A fenced dog yard was added in 2025, a greenhouse with automatic watering stands ready for growing, and wild raspberries, currants, and mushrooms appear seasonally. Trails wind through the property, inviting exploration, and the land itself is versatile enough for small-scale farming, livestock, a family compound, or future subdivision. Security features include Total Security screen doors on all entries and full-perimeter Ring camera coverage and alarm. No HOA - just privacy, views, and a home built to live well in one of Alaska's most beautiful settings. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, a self-sufficient retreat, or a legacy property with room to grow, this carefully crafted home on nearly 20 private acres offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of Kachemak Bay living.
