54585 Florey Avenue

Ok, now this listing is going to test your romantic idea of Homer. When we first came to town in the early 80's, lots of folks we knew were living "off the grid" where they needed to walk or ski into their property, used propane appliances and lights, used an outhouse or composting toilet -- in other words, they were living the remote Homer dream. This property affords you that possibility in the 21st century!!! This heavily-insulated, Tyvek-wrapped cabin sits on 19 view acres off Hutler Road just south of McNeil Canyon Elementary school, about 12 miles east of Homer. It's accessible by trail to the property, and actually, once the ground is frozen until breakup, you can drive in with a 4WD vehicle; you can also drive in the summer when the ground dries out. Other times, skis or a 4-wheeler or your own two feet will get you there best. The house has two solar panels, inverter, battery packs etc. as well as a generator. There are propane appliances, including an on-demand hot water heater. There's a water storage tank in the kitchen for hauled water. Basically you have the beginnings of a remote dream that's being left for you to complete. The land is glorious, south-sloping view property. There are trees and meadow and as you can see from this photo taken from the second story of the cabin, you can see the Spit and all the way to Seldovia Point. The owners are asking $155,000 for the property and they would owner finance--email me for more details. Well, guess what??? This place sold on 12/19 to a Homer pioneering couple, just in time for Christmas!!! My folks are happy, and the new buyers are happy as well. Happy Holidays and Congratulations to EVERYONE!!!
