Currently, two separate long-term rentals; tenants pay utilities = low operating costs. Instant cash flow + room for growth. Options abound including owner occupancy, multi-generational living, or investment.Perched on the Homer Bench with wide-open views of the Homer Spit, Kachemak Bay, and the surrounding mountains and glaciers, this property offers a rare mix of scenery and flexibility. The setup includes two separate living spaces: a 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath main home and an apartment over a large two-car garage. Both units have been rented long term, with tenants paying their own utilities, keeping operating costs low.
